  1. ok temp has droped oil thickens, oil during the summer was like water now its glupey empty one saw and mix yourself some chain oil and veg oil at about 65/35 mix the veg oil will thin your chain oil down should work but its got to be oil as its not one saw but a few, i take it there all on same oil ? we use the oil from northern arb its thinner than most but does the job and its cheap .
  2. are oilers turnned down or are they flat out ? have you ever cleaned filter in oil tank,? or ever cleaned tank out as they do get a fair amount of crap in them,
  3. i always understood that the world worked in US dollars and pounds stirlling, anything eles not worth a toss, i lad up the road has a bit coin account and reckons he makes about £300 a week so i asked him what he went to work for ? sats he cant get any thing out for 2 years, i said you will be a million air by then wont you ,Rodney, i dont think so , anothere lad just been to Egypt and on way home in airport bought some cigs and tabacco but airport wanted paying in sterling, that says a lot to me,
  4. that,s very true that got 2 labs the young one wants to retrive every thing that drops out the sky but wont pick a woodcock and only picked its first snipe a wk last saturday the older dog has picked woodcock and snipe since it was about 10 mths old, and about 5 yrs ago we where fencing in a block of spruce and larch and one evening we where loading truck up and my dog came to me with a woodcock then dissapeared again and retunrned with another came with 4 in total but this place was full of woodcock at the time.
  5. i know where your at on this one, we have a lot of pink footed geese up here and years ago i was out on a regular basis and the freezer was full of goose breasts and legs, now a days i only have a couple of outings over the christmas holidays or late january and just get myself a few for the freezer but no big numbers now,
  6. and heres me struggling to get rid of some larch of your work premmisses about 6 wk ago and your burning pallets,,,,,,,
  7. skinning then is a doddle, just rip the skin on the breast and pull it off then just use a sharp knife to take the flesh off and then cut leg and thigh off, if you can when you take the feet off try and get the tendons out while bird is still whole,then enjoy ,
  8. had a phase of cooking pheasant in fruit juice once over, and some turned out very good i think best one was equal parts of apple orange and cranberry then make a sause out of juice,
  9. thats pretty good deal that ,
  10. yes proberbly but there are people out there that cant afford much meat and lets face it pheasant is not that much different than chicken depending on how you cook it, and you cant give them birds to these people that would really appriecate them, dont know what othere people do with them but i just get a pheasant breast open it up lancashire or chedder cheese inside along with some cranberry wrapp in bacon place on tray in oven for 20-25 mins ,fantastic to eat,,
  11. i am sorry its nation wide no one wants pheasants in numbers this year, one shoot paying 20p a brace to get them taken away, another giving them to a smoke house and we have looked in to dressing birds and giving them to a food bank but HSE legistalation says no because of possible lead content so me and my dogs will be sick of pheasant by christmas and i will be looking forward to that turkey for once,
  12. yes same here i wont shoot another one again unless they get back up in to decent numbers, didnt shoot any last year just let em all go past, some shoots up here have impossed some heafty finds for shooting woodcock one shoot has set it at a grand donated to charity for shooting woodcock and this shoot used to have a couple of just woodcock days 20/25 years ago with 100 bird bags regular but not now.
