I remember that I carried my first salmon home on the bus. Was not old enough to drive but I would have thought that they would draw the line at a big stag. Anyway, how would you get the antlers through the door ?

Well admittedly I haven't yet worked out how to do it with the larger species, but a muntjac remains completely out of sight in a Harkila roe sack that to the untrained eye just looks like a rucksack. And a roe deer folds down into my large collapsible ice box. Inside the folded flat icebox is a similarly foldable luggage trolley. So that just looks like I'm going to a large picnic. Which isn't hugely off the mark. The key thing is that all of these things are watertight and there isn't blood dripping off the train's overhead luggage racks or anything like that.

Similar approach to wildfowling only it's mud that's the problem, not blood.

The remark about the overhead luggage racks on the train reminds me of the time a friend of mine shot a seal when on holiday up north.
He was desperate to get the skin home so he skinned it with a stanley knife which was all he had, and when travelling home on a steam train , put the skin in a bag up on the luggage rack.
All went well until a well dressed lady got on and sat opposite him right under the bag with the sealskin in it. After about half an hour, sure enough the bag started to leak and the blood started dripping on her hat. At this time he decided to beat a hasty retreat and grabbing the bag, legged it down the corridor and got off at the next stop.
I think that the moral to this story is make sure that the bag is not going to leak!
 
Sauer 202 6.5x55. Sauer 202 .308W. Navara V6. All I can say is I bought the best I could afford while there were deals to be had. And hope only to change the motor in a few years. I suppose you might say all 3 are pretty slick bits of kit, and I've even had a nice roe buck with the motor.

It is easy to forget that minature rifles-ranges used to be found in all sorts of interesting places. Were they common in the larger factories of the Midlands, or were Armstrong Siddeley unusual in having one?

It used to be quite common.
I even worked at Saab Valmet in Uusikaupunki in Finland and they had a .22 range in the apex of the roof which was not being used at the time. So the local polis gave a Finnish FAC to bring my kit over to use there. That was 1986.
