My WiFi went AWOL yesterday so I've got to catch up on what's up. I love the photos Jay and great that you got a bit of woods loafin' in especially with a couple of special firearms with a personal history :D OS I haven't seen many Bats up here strange as there are lots of very old buildings around....

Have a Great Day.....

My son found an old ESSO quart oil bottle in a wood where he was fencing, I don't know how old it is but I never saw them when I was a Grease Monkey back in the sixties, anyway they are now selling for over $40.00

so I'm hunting for more.

You won page 288 Walt.

I've only done a little casting mainly for muzzle loading and over a campfire, slow but fun.

gamekeeper

Jay I always appreciate your photos of camp (my Idea of heaven) as I have hunted in some beautiful places but I have never owned anywhere to call my own. Watching you build the cabin from that old trailer was inspirational. One thing sprang to mind looking at your last photos is your nicely cut and ...

My son liked mine so much as a teenager I gave it to him.

Easter was just a case of going next door to my son and daughter in law to exchange customery chocolate eggs and as it was sunny we had tea and cakes in the garden :D The estate has several vacation cottages so holidays are busy with strangers walking through the woods, not a good time to go hunting...

gamekeeper

Beautiful view Walt, I wish we had Hummingbirds over here but the Swallows have returned this week.

gamekeeper

AIN'T THAT THE TRUTH.......

gamekeeper

Looks like you've modified the handle..the number 7 is illegal to carry in the UK on two counts, the blade is 3.1" and the locking collar

gamekeeper

I popped into the local farm supply store today and they have a display of Opinel knives although I intended to get the number 10 this little number 7 caught my eye.

IMG_20250419_161455670.jpg

I have never owned a Buck knife, had a few cheap knock offs must remedy that.

gamekeeper

I once had an Opinel number 12 but unlike any Opinels I have used the blade was easily damaged, must have been from a bad batch as I've never seen a knife with such a soft blade. If I can't find my number 9 I too might try the number 10 with the carbon steel blade. The number 8 is a favourite rabbit...

gamekeeper

My son dressed his first Deer with an Opinel knife. I have found them extremely easy to sharpen and they are very light in the pocket but I prefer something a little sturdier as back up. My Marbles folding safety knife with a 4.48" blade is a good compromise between a folder and a fixed blade b...

gamekeeper

That reminds me I haven't seen my Opinels since I moved, I had a few over the years my favourite was the number 9. I recently bought this Antonini Maniaghese slip joint but not very impressed with the quality.

I am extremely wary of armed British police officers as I have witnessed some bizarre behaviour and attitudes with firearms, I have seldom had a problem with civilian gun owners.

gamekeeper

Some mouthwatering stuff in those photos Jim.....

gamekeeper

I hope your granddaughter recovers quickly from the surgery and you enjoy being back in the sticks.

Jay my friend you are definitely in the wrong job , you should either be competing or designing those bikes...

I only ever modified one motorbike and that was way back in 66 it did however attract a bit of attention when I was a marshall at different motorcycle scrambles and trials.

Over sleeping as caused me to miss some good shooting opportunities too :oops: Glad you got to test the Navy, I have never been to a Cowboy action shoot but I watched a few on YouTube amazing stuff 8) one thing I'd like to know is does shot size matter? I know pattern isn't a problem at that range a...

Many happy returns Jim.....

The wooden post that my mom hung her washing line from was about 75% lead with the combined pellets from my brother and me

Looks like I'll need a new air rifle my gas ram Norica has lost a lot of power, I could get it fixed but that's not as much fun as buying something new

gamekeeper

Yes good times. It was similar where I grew up in Birmingham, everybody had airguns and the local park was like Dodge city on a Saturday night...

gamekeeper

I got to do some pistol shooting with my son today but only with UK legal CO2 pistols, I had a .177 Luger and my son used a .177 1911, I also got out my .20 Benjamin and my gas ram air rifle, we had fun but it just ain't the same without noise and smoke...

gamekeeper

Glad you got that 2nd Gen Navy back and good luck with it at the match...

gamekeeper

Wild horses wouldn't get me on two wheels in the winter now..

Temps here are around 65f in the day and 33f at night so I'm not using so much firewood.

gamekeeper

Have a Great Day Mike.......

gamekeeper

Congratulations on the brand new granddaughter Walt... :D Looks like you've a lot of miles ahead of you even before you get on two wheels :wink: As I've said before all year round motorcycling was for a few years my only means of transport, I hated snow and ice but learned to respect road conditions...

gamekeeper

Clean and shoot would be my choice unless I could sell it on quickly for a good profit as it is. Good find

gamekeeper

Jay, I hope you don't regret putting the snow blower away, the weather here is unpredictable bright sunshine with a breeze that cuts like a knife. Still this is first year in the north east so I expect it to be cooler. I've been fighting off a cold virus too, taking vitamin C and zinc seems to work ...

gamekeeper

I like the wood....

gamekeeper

Where I used to live in Hampshire the stands were much higher, I think these stands are more for Deer drives, I prefer hunting on the move or using natural cover for ambushing quarry.

gamekeeper

Went for a long walk ( without a gun ) beautiful sunny day clear blue sky and 57 F good to be alive on days like this...

One of the Deer stands I passed.

Now I come to think of it ..........

I remember teaching my first serious girlfriend to shoot, in the end she could outshoot me with pistols, rifles and shotguns.....

since then I have noticed that females seem easier to teach than males, especially males addicted to video games...

gamekeeper

Have a Great Day....

gamekeeper

Glad you had a good day

. I took my .410 for a walk and only saw butterflies

gamekeeper

Nice to see you in action Griff, my old Uberti 51 never got used that much but was my favourite BP gun.

gamekeeper

The Camp is looking good and it's survived the winter without a scratch

what were you shooting the .22s out of

It's been nice and sunny here but I had chores to do

gamekeeper

gamekeeper

Thank you Jay, if only I were younger and fitter :wink: I would swap anywhere in Britain for the freedom you enjoy. Living over here is like being a three year old with a domineering mother who insists on wrapping you in cotton wool, of course our biggest problem is diversity, now we have to tolerat...

You can't help but be an outlaw in Britain even posting something on Facebook can get you arrested :roll: Comrade Starmer our prime minister is a wannabe dictator, a heck of a lot of Brits want president Trump to take him down with the rest of the swamp. Vance has already exposed Starmer on freedom ...

Jay believe it or not these are illegal in Britain but I saw them on sale mail order and couldn't resist... :wink: The genuine German made ones from the 1940s are selling in the US at $175 :o mine is a Chinese copy for a couple of bucks..... I'll try to use it safely and keep it locked up when not i...

Hey guys here in firearm unfriendly Britain I have just bought myself a handgun, I can't give a range report because I quit smoking years ago

Walt the cottage has oil fired central heating but a log burner with free firewood is my main source of heating, I only use the central heating first thing in the morning, my son is a woodman on the estate and keeps me supplied and the estate owner put a brand new log burner in when I moved in :D Ja...
