  1. Clay pigeon traps.....

    Look at Promatic and Laporte traps. You won’t get a new one for that money, and you’ll probably even struggle to get a used one, but they are the market leaders. Better to spend a few more quid.
  2. Gutless Ranger.

    Lads, as ever, what a great forum this is. All of this is beyond me, but I’ll speak to the man that does my servicing - or, do any of you live in Scotland? I’m near Perth.
  3. Gutless Ranger.

    No, not a Commission employee!! My Ford Ranger has become a gutless machine. Starts first time. Idles perfectly. I can rev it furiously in the driveway. Come to a wee slope - useless. Long hills are a nightmare. Some of you will know what the matter is. I must say it’s probably 12 years old and...
  4. Gin traps

    Good stuff. I hope he remembers them for a long time. What will happen now? A small fine paid by a big man somewhere and he’ll be out in no time?
  5. Gin traps

    It’s difficult to see, but I do hope that poacher’s fingers are in the jaws!
  6. Jelen advanced deer management

    I’ve done both the Jelen and the BDS course. They both have plenty to offer. I must say I did like the pre - attendance essays with Jelen. I thought they set a good tone. I’ve also done a 15 week “Sustainable Deer Management” course with the University of the Highlands and Islands this year. I...
  7. Pitting in used guns

    All of which goes to prove, I think, that rifle barrels are a black art. Listening to some of the competitive shooters, they know that. People wait in line for the top guys to sell off a barrel that has a proven history of success. Yes, the shooters are good. But they are all good. That...
  8. 9.3x62 in Scotland?

    I think I know a man who has one (9.3 x 62) for sale. If you like i’ll put you in touch.
  9. Anyone thinking of Africa?

    I tend to find the rand/pound rate doesn’t help as we - or is it only me?-have to pay for the hunts in US dollars. OK the tips can be in rand. But what else? I remember years ago buying knives, clothing, rifle slings, whatever. Once you’ve got it, you’ve got it. Nowadays I hardly seem to spend...
  10. 30-06

    I’ve seen him shooting with that rifle. It’s accurate. He knows it is and is very confident with it. Sorted I would say.
  11. Perth - fridge mechanic?

    Haha Sikadog, it’s not working. What do we know? Zilch! Thus, maybe it needs regassing. We are not working from any position of knowledge. How and ever, we have found a local engineer who will no doubt keep us right. So, thanks to all of you who replied. Much appreciated.
  12. Perth - fridge mechanic?

    Guys, one of the coke coolers we use for the beasts needs gassed - we are told. Any suggestions as to people in the Perth area who can help? Thank you.
  13. Deer die off over with winter

    Have a look for “winter inappetence” on google. Much good stuff there on why deer - and other animals - may die in the winter. There are threads on here in the past.
  14. Available: 4 places in red deer Syndicate

    Well, give the man his due. He did reply. Guess the answer.
