Hello, have these both sold now?

Yes, ich habe been offline for a long while so missed the replies.

Hello, apologies for the belated reply. I had dropped off the forum since last september. Yes, i still have it.

Are there grouse moors in lincolnshire? They’d have a bit of a drive to get to one surely. In derbyshire the police around here have been quite firm in protecting legitimate hunt activity. The sheffield sabs posted something a while back which seemed to imply the police supported their views...

Within a couple of days too.

Thanks for this. I did think about that, buying ‘steingrau’ clothing for our terrain. In winter between my knee boots and smock a lot of them won’t be that visible.

I’m just back from a holiday in Austria, where i found a decent shop on the village which made their own range of hunting clothing. I came away with a pair of loden kniebundhose, picture our standard breeks but with cargo pockets on the leg in a grey loden cloth. The washing label says do...

I was flying out of gatwick in 2003, to meet my Brother in sydney for the rugby workd cup final and was stopped at security when the swab machine bleeped. I assumed it had run out of paper. When I asked if it had tested for nitrates he got excited and asked why i would ask that? Then two...

100 year old threads? That sounds like the ‘buying once-used brass’ one to me. I’ll get my coat…

I have a 6x42 bought 2nd hand off here in 2019 and an 8x56 bought new three years ago and both are ‘made in hungary’, if that helps. Personally, i would like one that says W.Germany just to be ‘picturesque’. But I still say Ceylon and Malaya despite being born after their independence so maybe...

I have used loden felt ones for a few years (like Bavarianbrit posted about). They don’t fit in a pocket but mine goes in roe sack or just hung over shoulder if it’s a short walk to a high seat. I use them out hiking as well, and anywhere i might be sat for a while. I’m only in the next...

Hello, after a few years of thinking about it i realise i am probably not going to go on a driven boar shoot in europe and this scope, which has lain in my trunk for the last 5 years, should probably go. It is an immaculate swarovski 1.25-4x24 pv-i ( illuminated) scope. Glass is perfect, the...

Your ginger idiot looks perfect. But I seriously underestimated the long haired general’s firm dislike of wire coated hounds. And as it will be a live-in servant i must be willing to compromise. Or change partners. The responses here have been a great read, thank you all. The search continues...

Are we still talking about long dogs here? 😳

I have worn these, salomon speed6 i think they’re called, 3x a week for the past two years on muddy farmland and on the moors and they’re holding up well. The sole is like a motocross tyre and they’re the best cross country shoes i’ve had. They are funny with sizing - im an 11.5 in these and...
