I had a springer dog that was an excellent worker but would **** on anything indoors to let everybody know he was in charge. No drama in the Kennel, his mum kept him in line. A very clever dog who I swear could count gunshots and give a disappointed look at the guns if the bag was too small for...

I’m really not sure what all the fuss is about. There really is no need to squeeze silly velocities out of cartridges especially when they are perfectly adequate already! If you are developing a new cartridge then you may well need to stretch its legs or I suppose at least attempt to match...

She identifies as he until the end of doe season! You aren’t supplementing feed with the wife’s HRT meds? 🤭

I took a fallow doe with a single thin growth on the middle of her skull. I’m hoping I didn’t shoot a unicorn!

I’m just curious if the proposed or even current requirements by some for lead free ammunition will also apply to despatching wounded deer with a pistol or revolver?

I find that weight is immaterial, it’s all about feel. If it feels right it should shoot right. Those who shoot clays a lot tend to prefer long weighty barrels as that’s what the discipline has developed to tackle long distance targets. Driven or walked up birds tend to need less gun if you know...

I’d still rate Harriman above Barrington Barnes! Not a high bar I’ll admit!

I have a Huglu 28 side by side multi choke. I shot a whole season with it and missed as many birds as I would have with a twelve or a twenty! It’s on loan to the shoot captain’s grandson at the moment!

I’ve had a weekend on them up in Cambridgeshire and it was enjoyable. They do cover ground rather quickly

Thanks, our northerly neighbours in the FC said they’ve taken some but so far we’ve only heard them!

Afternoon, just downloaded some pictures on return from the farm and I’m curious as to the identity of this deer. It’s the first time I’ve seen this one, I’m leaning towards Muntjac although this would be the first visual confirmation if it is. I don’t think it’s one of our Fallow as they are...

Problem solved thanks

Before the OP follows any advice may I suggest that they discuss it with either their GP or if allocated their diabetic nurse!

They do, it’s called a private ward. Most NHS trusts have one in each hospital. During 2020 I found myself spending a two week stay as it served double duty as an isolation ward. My pic line became infected and the hospital was keen on proving it wasn’t them. The food was the same, the managers...

I asked to be left an extra night in the Covid ward as it was Curry night
