Was fortunate enough a few years back to shoot a red stag , then went out for a wee cast and caught a 10 lb salmon , on the way home shot a fox . Not a bad afternoon ! Deer wise ,was down south a few years back to try for some muntjac . Had an amazing morning, shot a roe doe , muntjac buck and...

It’s a bit like do I need a 243 or 270 to kill a deer , both will do . It may be worth to buy a slab of ether steel wild fowling loads or steel game loads and give it a go , ether on a driven day or a driven clay shoot . Difficult to get totally reliable results on just one day as you could be...

Welcome to the site,much info on here.

Great to see them , seen an adult carrying a youngster the other week , but alas no camera with me. What do you feed them with, we use peanuts and cuttlefish.
