  1. Radio 4 this afternoon Open Country

    Oh you love a scrap , so you do! ;)
  2. Whats in your stalking kit?

    I think that's called "paying in advance". No bad thing.
  3. Whats in your stalking kit?

    Watch the old boys. Always worth watching the old boys. They didn't get old by being silly. Like old stags.
  4. Whats in your stalking kit?

    Don't forget the A-hole remover and the clickety-clackety ratchety-winch thingy you need to scare off all of the other deer for 5 miles around. New boy looks like a one man band. As time goes on, he slims down. The field kit rapidly shrinks, the box of once-used and never-to-be-used-again...
  5. Whats in your stalking kit?

    Archaeology is always interesting. I walked into the shed on one occasion and thought "funny, there are an awful lot of flies in here". I thought no more of it until a few moths later when I decided to wear my Cecil B De Mille coat for a foray. I put it on and felt something in the left-hand...
  6. CL55 Night licence delays

    AH! OK. So that is probably different. It makes perfect sense that he could have had NFU evidence in respect of badger culls - they were involved in its administration. I took it on face value in respect of deer and CL55 licenses. No, the NFU have not upset me -any more than they have the vast...
  7. CL55 Night licence delays

    I love the idea of tfe NFU providing "proof of competency" for anything. It seems like the ultimate irony, on a number of fronts. Firstly the NFU as a body wouldn't know one end of a deer (or rifle) from another. Secondly, they are almost certainly forbidden from vouchsafing anything to do with...
  8. Lead - EU Reach Meeting/Proposal

    Depressing in the extreme, but the answer is to fill your boots while you can, then bu**er off to Alaska when the shutters come down.
  9. Lead - EU Reach Meeting/Proposal

    Anecdotes based on real life experience and science, rather than BS legislation based on reports written by antis and puffed by their useful idiot friends in BASC, GCWT and CA etc, all followed by a large coterie of credulous cretins voting to have their straps tightened.
  10. Potato cannon

    We used to make them from two bean tins and use lighter fluid for propellant. Great until someone demonstrated it in the common room and put a king Edward straight through the ceiling. Though we'd got away with it until our housemaster tripped on a newly raised floor board in his study directly...
  11. Which thermal monocular?

    There is an axion xg35 LRF for sale on classifieds now. Has warranty. Looks mint and good value. Word of advice...DO NOT BUY UNLESS YOU GET DEALER'S ORIGINAL PROOF OF PURCHASE from the vendor. Without that, Pulsar will not honour warranties etc.
  12. Which thermal monocular?

    Pulsar Axion for me. Just bought the XG35. Really chuffed. Service and parts support far better in my opinion, especially if you bought through a recognised agent. Simpsons for me. When we finally admit we're at war with China, EU built units far more likely to get spares and repairs.
  13. Lead - EU Reach Meeting/Proposal

    Mostly as a result of naturally occurring deposits...oh Dear God. I cannot be bothered.
  14. Lead - EU Reach Meeting/Proposal

    What a sensible post.
  15. Lead - EU Reach Meeting/Proposal

    Horse manure.
