Use them in my tikka .270 and can’t fault them. Stopped using the power shock as was getting flyers and found these more acurate and were putting beast down on the spot. To be honest would still be using them if I could get hold of them more easily but have changed to Norma 130gr and having...

Some locals had great hoax’s. Photo police had was shown to a local farmer but was never published.

It’s supposedly located in a woodland walk area where there will be no shooting permission. but have now come out and said they don’t believe it’s a big cat and are unsure of the animal in the photo.

This kind of stamping on feet??

Does taste just the same and depending who you go with roe can be £80 per outing and venison at game dealers rates approx £30. So that’s £220 with 2 full deer to take home. With the added bonus that you don’t need to get up as early as it’ll be winter months. Ask around if your not happy with...

Yup the red stag peering at the side of the A9 this morning looking suicadal was still in velvet. Not a nice feeling trying to slow down but not frighten them at 3 in the morning. Seen some cracking fallow bucks as well at Perth but wasn't close enough to see velvet, didn't actually know fallow...

Yes you really need those tickets. Only penalties would be if you had an accident insurance wouldn't cover you and your employer could be charged for not providing you with training. If worse case you died could even be charged with your death.
