  1. Border Force stop issuing export permits

    Does this affect in transit firearms that are going to Namibia through Johannesburg for example?
  2. Roe rut possibly starting?

    Hampshire again on the meadows next to the Avon. Supposed to be clearing a few fallow prickets but had the Buttalo and Cherry Wood with me so sat in high seat using both every so often. After 45 minutes a doe came in followed by an older scrappy buck with poor and abnormal antlers that I'd seen...
  3. Roe rut possibly starting?

    Hampshire again, about ten miles from my previous post. Turned up to farmyard last night just as a thunderstorm passed over and rain fell. Started a walk around, saw a buck and doe across a field but hard to get a safe shot, came in to the first pheep on the caller and maneuvered them until a...
  4. Roe rut possibly starting?

    Hampshire. This one wasn't interested in the call, he was covering a doe. Had a young buck come charging in under the high seat but he showed promise so hopefully he will take over the vacant space left by this buck. Does were semi interested coming to the call now and then or completely...
  5. Roe rut possibly starting?

    Last week on one of my areas, nothing happening. Drove along the A303 this morning as it was getting light and plenty of deer about in the fields. Buck chasing a doe in a field next to Stonehenge, a couple of bucks in the corn marching purposefully stopping to scent every so often and nice to...
  6. Ethiopian Airlines .

    To be honest, I've never had any issues prior to this trip, South African and Virgin have both been good to travel with in the past. And yes, had an absolutely great trip thank you. 👍
  7. Ethiopian Airlines .

    So, made it back. The trip bookended by typical British bullsh1t. A bit more detail on my departure, I had booked in, got boarding passes and joined the queue to check in luggage and firearm. In the queue a supervisor asked what was in my long case, I leaned in and discreetly told her it was a...
  8. Ethiopian Airlines .

    Made it on the plane. Massive communication issues within Ethiopian. "Book your firearm on the flight." "How?" "I don't know, telephone, email?" Showing them my email trail and list of phone calls to various numbers belonging to their offices. To and fro between different slopey shoulders...
  9. Ethiopian Airlines .

    By way of an update. Rang Ethiopian, sent emails, none were responded to. Turned up at Heathrow, refused at check in. To and fro between various people on the phone and airport, each saying the other is who should be helping. Still waiting for a resolution.
  10. Ethiopian Airlines .

    Has anyone flown with Ethiopian lately that can provide the details of who to contact regarding the intention to fly with a checked firearm? I've been coming up against a wall of no information, people who give me phone numbers that never get answered and emails that get sent and never replied...
  11. Cold smoked

    So will I need the curing agents to make venison sausage which will be cold smoked for a few hours for flavour but then cooked before consumption? Basically I make the sausages then hang them in the smoker overnight then vacuum pack, freeze and use them in casseroles or pot roasting them.
  12. Namibia?

    I've hunted with Khomas Highland Hunting Safaris three times, Omuramba Hunting once and Eureka Hunting Safaris once and would recommend all three. Namibia is a dream to hunt, easy to take firearms into and out of if you can get them there after the Covid-19 situation. I always flew with SAA...
  13. Jacket or Smock ?

    I just got a Deerhunter Pro Gamekeeper smock for the new season. Easy enough to get in and out of, large ventilation zips under each arm and the skirt it can be folded up and tucked under allowing for great leg freedom and useful on warmer days. It's thin so you can layer up or down underneath...
