The Airgun Hunters Chronicles - Book Now Available! For some, hunting is a hobby, a past time, even a 'sport'. Within the pages of this book are a collection of accounts and essays written by a man who wished to reinstate hunting to its passed glory as his and his family's only means to...

Will do my best! Let us know how you get on, not used an AS392 but i converted an SMK XS79 CO2 to PCP using a regulated paintball tank http://1nomad.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/qbxs79-22-co2-conversion-to-pcphpa.html. Superb little gun, yours looks similar. Happy Hunting.

Thank you Niels, I'm certain we will. Like your signature :)

Not sure how many more posts i'll be making now i'm afraid :( http://1nomad.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/d-day.html http://1nomad.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/a-bitter-blow-111212.html But never say die!

Like so many hunters, I have previously opted to wear British Army Surplus DPM. That is, until now, with the addition of the HSF Stealth Evolution Camo Jacket and Trousers to my 'wardrobe'. Why the change? Well not only have my well worn and now very faded field jacket and trousers...

Thank ye kindly.

Many thanks for the kind sentiments.

How funny! I've just finished reading James Douglas' With Gun Rifle And Bow and now I want to stalk dear!! Shall we do a 'Wife Swap'?!:)

It's a shotgun sling, and thanks for reminding me of it, i haven't used it in a long while. £9.99 off eBay. The magpies and crows are not my favoured quarry for the fact they are less palatable (though edible I'm told). I will take enough to ensure future permission but pigeon is by far my...

Tuesday 4th December 2012 For a town mouse, the opportunity to venture out is never as frequent as desired. My accounts, as they reportedly do for many, had the motivations of my friend Mawders enlivened. I cleared his presence with the landowner, and we were set. Keen to capitalise on...

Glad you're enjoying it, you're very welcome!

Saturday 1st December 2012 The bite in the wind has been relentless and unforgiving. Time for hunting may have diminished in direct relation to the temperature, but needs must. The need on this occasion was not meat but material. My friend and occasional shooting partner told me he had...

Thursday 29th November 2012 It is evident that this year we have entered testing and trying times. For the first time, due to heavy cloud cover and protracted periods of rain, the battery and solar array have failed, plunging us into the dark both technologically and...

Friday 23rd November 2012 Much time has passed since I last ventured out to the fields with the air rifle, though I have not been left wanting for meat and game. Most fortuitously, my quarry has come to me! I have not executed all trespassers. Only when the 'hunger' has stricken, have at...

Friday 9th November 2012 On a walk through the woods to setup the trail camera, I received a phone call from the owner of my permission. She wanted to know whether I had been using a shotgun on the cereal field. I informed her that no, I hadn't and I didn't own a shotgun.Her enquiry was...

Thursday 8th November 2012 My ventures of late have been... How shall we say? Unproductive. As a result, I have been left with the odd photograph, but not much to report. Well, today I felt the lack of trophies and any incident of note, was in and of itself, worthy of note. Not once...

Tuesday 30th October 2012 Keen and eager to utilise the bodies of the fallen magpies (my research tells me they are edible, though "fishy chicken" is not an appetizing proposition for me) I was up this morning before dawn. Daybreak is surely the most magical time of day. The peace, the...

Saturday 27th October 2012 As anticipated, the grey wet that has lingered over the valley and been woven among the trees, passed. With it went the warm it trapped. In spite of the chill, the sunshine that was cast was most welcome indeed. The light lifts the mood and aids my motivation, though...

Thursday 25th October 2012 By noting the date of the first frosts, and comparing to my observations, I can say with some degree of certainty that we are approximately two to four weeks ahead of schedule this year. Every so often, the trees seem to randomly and spontaneously shiver, dropping a...

Minge bag Haha I like that. I equally upset i didn't leave the plate. Presentation could certainly have been improved...
