I have a deposit on a trip to SA carried forward from 2020 to 2021 and now to 2023. Each year my trip is getting longer as I add on the days that I miss. Looks like 2022 will be for 30 days up from the original 10. :p

complete ****.

I have watched two either end of a ewe in labour. Biting face and back end as lamb is born. Ewe and lamb both dead as a result.

As per the title does anyone know dealers taking venison? Thanks in advance.

Get some Renpho scales and have some fun playing with the numbers every morning. Seeing an increase or decrease in metabolic age is often an early morning conversation starter in our house. :lol:

Thanks for that. Looks like I need to get our ancient system upgraded. Where do I start? We are on clay soils have acres of ground but just 1 acre downhill and just 40m from a watercourse currently used for our discharge. In terms of treatment plants are they much of a muchness?

Unless you applied for and have a licence for lawful discharge from the EA based upon an existing system.

I have had two pulsar batteries that after two years use would fully charge and show normal discharge for the first two hours or so then fail. Both replaced under warranty.

:lol: Just one of those days I guess lol. I sat a high seat for an hour only to see a trespasser walk down the glade last light. The list of expletives that I managed to yell at him as I descended the steps to ground level would have set new depths for a navy sub.

An enjoyable stalk this afternoon. Watched 6 on the far side of a ravine in heavy cover, they melted away to nothing. Crossed the bridge expecting to see them on the other side in the field and all had disappeared. Up the hill turned to the woodland, turned around and this one had appeared from...

I use the vipers after trying pretty much everything else, including tripods and they are imo easily the best. I recently used the Blaser ones. Nice to carry but the rabbit ears are a nonsense.

I have been working on it's development. I have been using one, albeit a prototype, for foxing and stalking as part of the testing. The Hunter Pro is far more stable than the z sling, particularly when crossing gates and leaning over fencing. There is more to it than the z sling so it takes a...

Surprised people a carry so much gear for Roe. A manage with rope as a drag and hoist and a knife. I never open the chest or the throat.

Not deer but other quarry using a thermal to find multiple targets shot in long grass and hedgerows. They work pretty well. Close up to thick bramble cover they can be confused by water in the bottom of a ditch and by the vegetation which can appear warm on an XQ38 close up. So if you suspect...
