I've recently recive a full pelt of deer hair I put it in the freezer when i recived it as it was still dripping with blood when I recieved it and I was too busy to deal with it. I'm looking for ways of making sure that any ticks or fleas are killed before I put it in my fly tying drawer. Any...

With reference to the deffinition of poaching it is ileagal to shoot anything unless you have the landowners permission, this includes anything from targets to vermin to game. That is the law in the UK.

When I say use cammo to stalk your prey I don't mean cammo colours but folage tied onto clothing to break up appearence as this is more important than colours as most animals see in black and white. :D

I got it off an ebay seller when asking him about clothing combos he told me about this one. Just keep your eyes peeled. :D Islay as an Isle of Islay on the west coast of Scotland, cos if it is then there are plenty of them there I know cos I live there! :D

I've killed a few rabbits and one phesant using my black widdow cataplut. It is very difficult to get the shot in the kill zone. Use one stone for ground targets and several for birds in the air. Also you can only really get into effective killing range if you have cammo gear by stalking you...

I recently bought a set of gortex realtree advantage clothing. This consists of a waterproof and breathable gortex jacket with fleece lining and multiple pockets. Waterproof, breathable fleece lined gortex trousers. Gortex waterproof and breathable gloves and gortex waterproof and breathable...

I great cammo pattern is the advantage real tree range. These have digital imaging of woodland and make you very well hidden. If you don't want to spend much you can get a cheap waterproof and breathable ones on ebay shipped straight form the U.S. for abut £15 for the jacket (dunno how good they...

oh sorry m8 i'm new to these forums so haven't seen many threads. But I have been doing bushcraft for some time and was just wondering what size of knife you carry as my m8 and I were having a discussion about what size should be carried. :D

What size of main and what size of secondary knifes do you carry when you go on a trip? Lets get some opinions on suitable and unsuitable sizes going here! :p

Antlers are great for making stuff. I'm friendly with the local gamekeepers and because of this i have a continueous supply of them. You can make knife handles, priests and walking sticks (amoung other things) Best way of getting a good supply or even a couple is to get to know your...

Yeah nice info there hubba. I carry my main on my belt cross draw and kept in a very strong sheath, but don't have to worry about concealment as where I live is very rural and most people carry a knife or multitool. My secondary knife is kept in my pocket which is just a lock knife which...

I'm good friends with a couple of gamekeepers and as a result i have a bucket of antlers in my garden, which i use to make walking sticks and priests for fishing, but have never thought of a custom made knife, great idea :D As for you getting a hold of a set, try any estates nearby and ask...

A good book which can be carried with you is the collins pocket series, SAS survival tips. Good book full of a wealth of knowledge to get you started.
