It’s not just a UK issue. While we can’t sell wild venison here, we still must manage the herds. Granted we have orders of magnitudes more hunters, but the issue is always the same. Everyone is glad to kill a big whopping stud, but few want to do the work on culls and does. Some states are...

I knew one of the medics that was directly involved. When he came home he pursued and received an officers commission in the Air Force (transferring out of the army) and said something to the effect of “I’ve done the hero ****, I think I would like a nice quiet non hazardous career from here...

My favorite black lab was an escape artist. She stayed in any from of confinement only as long as it suited her. Her other trait was she was steady as a rock, except for raccoons, some deep seated grudge or something. You could call her off, until that raccoon was dead. This led to a very...

Somewhat related story. All related to me first hand, while I was a young airman out r. Ellis AFB. Basically an old veteran telling his stories to his young veteran nephew. My great uncle was a flying sergeant in WWII, pacific theater. He served as an artillery observer, flying a cub above...

Personal hand load with that bullet is 47.3 gr N160 They also offer a 90gr bullet that as far as I can tell, is simply the 85 gr with a plastic tip.

Bah… Im a Scottish laird and have an estate in Scotland. It’s more bother than it’s worth. Then again Ts only a square meter and rarely holds deer, and when it does it rarely hold the entire deer. And im not not even sure exactly where it is. Sur, I have an address, but ch clump of heather is it?

Blah blah blah. 270 is the best, Jack OConnor said so. 7mm RM is second best (only because I don’t want to dis my brother and his favorite elk gun”) All the rest are for men that use bidets and shave their leg hair

Yes, clearly… when he contacted me his salutation was “dear minion of great Satan”

Im retired USAF, does that work or do you need someone active?

I’ve seen very few trailer frames fail ever. Your most likely weak points will be tyres, hubs, springs in that order. If given an unknown I would replace the tires, then inspect hubs and springs, if all those pass the tests then roll on

Wait, what? Driven? That sounds interesting, can they be shotgunned? Seems quite a challenging target if driven before rifles

Yes, it was in a commercial block in Sutherland. Started the morning with a nice red stag in the dirt/peat, convinced I was already quite adept at this. The rest of the day disabused me of that notion. Saw one of the largest sika stags I had ever seen, with the exception of those photos of NZ...

We’ve already checked that box on a couple occasions. Quite memorable but looking at more southerly options

Already some grand ideas to explore, thanks. Definitely has got me thinking Honestly, I had mentally mapped a maybe a New Forest, Wales, then M6 north route in a very general sense. Hadnt even thought to trek up the east side.

Brother and I have made multiple trips over to UK and have had some success. Much of that success was due to the exceptional competency of SikaMalc and LeviGSP. With one retired and one passed on, it has gotten me to thinking about a change up for the next trip over. I should also mention all...
