In one of the rabbits I shot yesterday, I noticed that the liver had two fluid-filled cysts inside of it. They were about 1-1.5cm long and about .5cm diameter. The rabbit looked (and acted) healthy and there were no other signs of it being anything other than OK. The rest of the insides and ofal...

Well my ticket finally came through, and I'm now in the market for a rim-fire (.22lr). I've managed to track down a Sako Finnfire but am not sure if it's worth spending 150% :eek: of the price of a CZ (the 'style' in synthetic and nickel looks the business) when it's essentially for...

Does anybody have a copy of the Deer Stalking manual which they would be willing to loan me for a short while. I am hoping to do the course either later this year or at the beginning of next year (it would be easier to do it locally and I think that the only course this year is in a couple of...

I'm currently waiting for my 'ticket' to come through for a .22 r***e for rabbits, and a .243, initially for foxes and ultimately for deer once I've done Part 1 of the deer course (necessary with the local constabulary). Both will be fitted with sound-moderators and as good scopes as I can...

Sky Travel Channel (139 on Sky) 9.00pm tonight. "Six people who almost died in New Zealand's bush return to the wilderness for an action-packed weekend with survival expert Mike Spray. Can they survive a second time?" I imagine they will, but could still be worth watching (I hope). David

I don't know if it's all branches, but my local t.k.maxx (Brighton) have just stocked a good number of Barbour jackets at about 40% of retail price. Might be worth a look if you're in the market for one. :) David

I'm just getting back into shooting after a break for a few years, and have been extremely fortunate in having permission to shoot on a large downland farm (shotgun ... for rabbits and pigeons to start .... and hopefully smallbore rifle in the near future for rabbits and foxes (yet to see any...

I'm looking to make my first knife, and notice that many makers use 'stabilised' timber for the handles - especially burr. How do you stabilise it? I have a lump of burr (not sure what sort) which was bought for turning, but never used. Cheers

Does anybody know where I can source a (reasonably priced) double bit axe, similar in size to the SFA (or slightly smaller). I have a 'hunter' and have just ordered a 'mini'; and am looking for a 'big-brother' for them ... and love the double bit shape. Cheers. :)

Hi all. Thought it was time to introduce myself. I'm now in my 50's and have been a huntin'/ fishin' /shooting man all of my life. In my 20's and 30's I spent a lot of time with a small group of friends rough-camping and 'living off the woods' at weekends, and even got a little involved in some...
