  2. How to strength test a trailer

    Had a small half ton trailer, made a mistake by not checking tyres 🤯. Yes blown tyre with a washing machine in 🫣. Great fun trying to get it out in the road as it started to tip over . Lesson learned the hard way 🥵
  3. Is this the end of army mechanics 🤔

    Well after 70 years of loyal but troublesome service its gold watch time for army landrovers. Babcock are offering something a bit more reliable 🫣
  4. Someone doesn't like wolves

    Serious attack on Italy's wolf population, under investigation.
  5. Theoretical Perfect Stalking Road Trip?

    Been very lucky stalking with Sikamalc ,taking Fallow,Roe ,Muntjac and Chinese. Will miss his knowledge, banter and great stalking grounds . Bedfordshire is the goto for Muntys/Cwd at the same time. Fallow Sussex and the Midlands so your hire car is a great idea for stalking flexibility. Good luck 👍
  6. Post your random nature photographs.

    Lived here 18 years ,1st hedgepig I've seen in town 😳. Plenty on my friends farm but hens teeth here.
  7. Birds are dying!

    They don't get theyre not helping at all .By creating dependent animals, and the mouse/ rat problem is off the scale. My shed is a monster pile of baits to stop them.
  8. Whats in your stalking kit?

    Rifle, thermal spotter ,knife, deer drag ,sticks ,couple of pairs nitrile gloves ,protein bar and most importantly ammunition 🤣. Not admitting to leave it at home 🫣🤫🤣
  9. Bipod/sticks.

    Started with garden canes ,tried Bushwear sticks switched to 4 stable sticks very good but restricted movement. Now in tackle tart mode treated myself to Viperflex styx whilst laid up awaiting another operation. As already said get the best you can but try them 1st ,most shops have a variety...
  10. Birds are dying!

    The mad bird neighbor has about 10 feeding stations in the garden But . And yes its a big But theyre feeding every pigeon, crow and magpie in the area . Songbirds don't get a look in . Her roof in the summer is pigeon schitt central. A nice idea gone horribly wrong unless your a fat pigeon
  11. Recreational stalkers only

    Around 32 deer ,Reds,Roe,Fallow, Muntjac and Cwd . Shot far more rabbits and foxes ,years of shift work meant going out about once a month. 99% of deer where I shoot are Muntjac, everything else on paid stalks . ILl health slowed me down the last 2 years, amputations and sepsis aren't stalking...
  12. Fuel

    Spain leads by example, though it will be challenging watching him carry a 100lb wild boar 🐗 home 🤣
  13. Weshenfelder tomato sausages.

    Like the garlic n herb chopped tomatoes for extra moorish 😋
  14. Carcass handling and butchery course

    Did my first Red with Buckbones at Melton Mowbray. He was a butcher at Sainsbury's and he stripped the right side whilst explaining how to. Then I did the left under his instructions, great way to learn. Did a carcass handling course with Ian F off here and learned sausage making at a college...
