  1. New chiller needed - advice please

    At the moment this looks like my best bet: https://www.ggmgastro.com/en-gb-gbp/commercial-beverage-display-fridge-600mm-292-litres-stainless-steel-interior-with-1-hinged-glass-door-digital-controller-with-temperature-display-black-temperature-range-2-to-8-celsius-fksg651n ... I'm going to...
  2. New chiller needed - advice please

    That @W1LL I have been through this site a couple of times. I was wondering if anyone had any specific advice/recommendations regarding models and manufacturers.
  3. New chiller needed - advice please

    My faithful chiller (which used to belong to the late, great and much missed Alan Evans @Allantoo) has finally packed up. I need to find another. I've been looking online at commercial fridges and drinks chillers until my eyes bleed. I've got a budget of £500. Ideally I would like to find...
  4. Lowa Renegade GTX boots - split on seem and letting in water

    This is the waterproofer I've been using. It's easy to apply. Clean the boot, wipe it down with a wet sponge, spray liberally, wipe off any excess after 10 mins (or don't...I can't see that this really matters) and allow to dry. Simples.... And appears to work
  5. Lowa Renegade GTX boots - split on seem and letting in water

    I would say that they are true to size. I'm a size 8 but always buy size 9 wellies. However, my Lows boots are size 8 - and still roomy enough for me to wear thick socks.

  7. Lowa Renegade GTX boots - split on seem and letting in water

    Significantly better. That said, I am making a meaningful effort to waterproof them with a Nikwax spray on solution (which looks suspiciously like ordinary PVA but seems to do the job). I think I have done this three times since September. I really like the locking eyes which flatten when you...
  8. Open Country

    And I even came home with a MJ....
  9. Open Country

    Sounded like a nice piece on stalking R4's Open Country this morning. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002v1b5?partner=uk.co.bbc&origin=share-mobile Caught the tail end of it as I headed out (appropriately enough) in search of some MJ myself. Will listen to the whole thing later.
  10. To clean or not to clean Moderators ? - That is the question.

    I do exactly the same. Good squirt of WD40 - following the advice of Steve Beatie at Ivythorne. Never had an issue. Put them on the radiator to dry them out.
  11. Hilar shot location

    No it isn't - not in my opinion. Hilar produces an almost instant loss of consciousness - "bang flop". That's the appeal of this shot placement. You don't get the thrashing around seen in this video which is much more like the reaction I would expect from a high shoulder shot - which pins a deer...
  12. Hilar shot location

    The difference between POA for "high shoulder" and "hilar". In my experience the high shoulder will pin the deer and stop it running but the hilar will drop it with a more or less instant loss of consciousness.
  13. Monster Muntjac

  14. Observing Muntjac & CWD near Cambridge in March

    Sorry - wrong thread
  15. Wanted: Need shooting experience-Gloucestershire

    Home Office guidance explicitly states that "experience" is neither quarry nor caliber specific. I think anybody who regards any one caliber as more or less dangerous than another runs the risk of appearing (or becoming) complacent. Similarly small game is no less deserving of a quick and...
