I spent a brilliant morning watching them lek a couple of years ago. That was all it took to get me supporting them 100%

Its just the current strain that are scandiwegian

Capercaillie Life Project - Urgent Scottish Management for Scottish Capercaillie I think that Caps could do with their profile rising a little bit in this country, worth a look if you are interested in wildlife Discuss

Where are you based? I'll PM you in a minute

You'll probably still get the job once he bungles it.

Try BASE UK for training, they might be able to help you

Wind wind wind! All morning Already had a couple of calls people thinking they are going to go, pray for a bit more wind

If that saw is an 880 without a chainbreak, I agree Nah, your right chief. I know blokes who can do it all day long, but I still don't like it.

I only see him once a year on a hind cull in the north of Scotland these days, he isn't online but I'll dig out his number and try and get him to post them to me. He's really funny. He doesn't talk much, but what he says is worth listening too. He never really talked about Africa/NZ/British Columbia until I was round his house picking up a box of bullets and saw all these pictures on the wall, took a fair lot of prompting to get him to spill the beans. Good guy though. To me the shooting exhibited in that video is shocking. Taking head/neck shots at moving animals from a helicopter is hugely inhumane. I've neck shot deer, but never head shot anything other than in a "coupe de grace" situation, so lets think about neck shooting. If the bullet misses the vertebrae and goes through windpipe and oesophagus can often show no visible signs of a hit as far as animal reaction is concerned. They will often run off almost as normal leading the shooter to believe that they had a clean miss, I imagine that its pretty hard to see that from a moving helicopter. Such an animal would take quite some time to die unable to eat or breathe properly, or drown in it's own blood, how lovely. A shot that hits the spinous processes but not sever the spinal cord can drop the animal on the spot giving the impression of a good solid neck shot. Such animals can get up again and run away to die a slow and pretty damn horrible death. In my experience all ear movement of a neck shot deer would indicate that the animal is still in the land of the living. Don't give me that head/neck shots are either a clean miss or dead hit, we are all a little more grown up than that. If I supply head shot deer to a gamedealer here I will get an extra 30/40p per pound. Is it really worth it?

Barrel glow may be a myth, but I've seen the pictures of the floor of the chopper when all you can see is brass. Lots and lots of dead deer, not nice. I will also point out that this chap has pictures of him with the big five, a large scar on his ribcage (not so friendly spots) and the rug said leopard made. He has killed most everything going. And if he says Lee Enfield, it was.

No mate, didn't mean it like that. I think British venison is prime for people to eat (I sell enough of it!) but importing stuff while 65% of UK deer goes abroad is just plain ridicules. Be very wary of roadkill. If it was finished by a vet then there is a good chance that it will have nasty hama killing drugs in it.

Give me wind! There's been non here.

Ahh I shoot with a man who used to heli-hunt in NZ. He used to use surplus Lee Enfields and used to shoot until the barrel glowed then chuck it and use another. He has killed tens of thousands of deer. When you need to culll deer chopper hunting is fine (Not the way the deer commission for scotland did it...). I object to airborne heli-hunters ferry rich yanks into the mountains, sitting them down and then herding the beasts into the ambush with their choppers, too canned and pretend, and inhumane. Lets not get into the morals of head shooting hey Helihunting is not for the UK.

Pretty much born to it, my old man used to cut non commercially. One day we had an ash to remove in the back field and a man turned up with a Landrover, he had an orange hat, I liked it. One 5 year old with a job idea. The picture is me modeling an Echo (I think)

Get a peltor soft case for them, stop them getting scratched in the van, thats what buggers them

No experience of burning, but really interested in it. As far as non specific kit goes I can recommend stuff. Trailer - Ifor Williams are bob on, but the "Atlas" tipping trailers advertised on here look pretty good. If you do decide on a quad then I would go Honda every time. The small tractors Riko sell look good. The Woodsmith's Store - Green Woodworking Tools - Green Woodworking Accessories Will be good for hand tools (and they sell kilns too), Gransfors Bruks axes are top notch, nothing other than custom made will beat them, and worth the cash if you use it professionally. The old English makes (Elwell, Nash, Gilpin and Whitehouse) are all very good too. Bulldog spades are decent are good money. I'd love to come and see the operation when your up and running if you don't mind. Sam

Woodland Fresh Chief. I think my Dad is still an "Avon Lady" :lol:(Constant source of banter) Which means I think he gets it at trade, I'm not quite sure, I'll ask next time I see him

Where did he put them to call them cockchafers though?! I have the maturity of a 13 year old. Are they tasty?

Welcome at the moment! It's rate slow here, could do with some wind work

Smart stuff

Thats brilliant I imagine if it happened here they would have put him as a minority background, jailed the marines for assault, jailed the store manager for not giving him the laptop, given him compensation for his ordeal, and the press would have shouted how we train killers who then practice their brutal art on the street, and how no one is safe. I read the Mail this morning, its starting to show.

Yes I suppose, I worked with a lad who had a 7 year average of 53%, probably one of the best guys I have worked with, and he tailored the day to the guns, so even the carp shots got a decent bag Keepering is all about keeping folk happy.

Now come on lad. According to NGO (or the GWCT, I can't remember) 40% Foxes and other predators (Depending how good your control is) 25% Wild 35% Guns (Depending how good your keeper is)

If your happy driving the good ship rainford then dont listen to us
