Say it out loud. I doun't think I will be allowed to type the word. Up a certain creek without a certain instrument

Sadly, everything to do with the management of sporting estates and hunting here in Britain has become very politicised and attacking them is a easy vote winner for an urban public. We have three devolved legislatures, all led by left wing nationalist / separative parties and a UK Government...

The whole rewilding thing here is hugely political. It is mainly driven by left wing politics and a lot of foreign (mainly Scandinavian) money. The government and some of the locals (who are mainly English retirees - the best US comparison is probably Californian s moving to the Rockies)...

I don't know if this helps at all, but I had the same thought process as you a few years ago but when I applied for a variation, my FEO told me that it would only be granted on the condition it was not to be used in the UK, as my local police force have a rule that they will not allow anything...

I my opinion, Rigby put in a lot of effort with visitors but might not be viable with the time available. Rules, Boisdale or Simpsons on the Strand for a first class lunch, if time allows but the traffic is terrible and the tube apparently shut in places today so might be risking it. As others...

@WyoBull I saw a poster with the Code of the West on my last day there and I don't think anything could have summed up the people I met better.

I have an Artemis 2000, I think 4-12x50. It is absolutely bomb proof and has been on a 22 Hornet for around 10 years. The objective actually has a dint in it and still functions perfectly. I have two Meopros as well and I really like them. I haven't had any loss of zero or other issues with...

This is exactly what one of my best friend's Democrat voting Californian wife told me.

To be honest, my expectations were clouded by several experiences I have had with Americans in the UK and other European and African countries - we have several American families living in my area who are very vocal about almost everything! We also do a very good line in exporting bad behaviour...

I recently spent just over a week in a small town in Wyoming. This was my first visit to the US since I was about 10. My illusions of the US were totally shattered. The people I met were almost entirely welcoming, genuinely kind, very courteous, smartly dressed, healthy looking and very moral...

My brother and I have some land on the edge of a large village. It is full of roe, but we don't even try to manage them as it just isn't worth the trouble.

I would certainly go unarmed to investigate here. If you were seen carrying a firearm and acting in any way that could be perceived to be aggressive or threatening, it would almost certainly result in a lifetime ban on firearms ownership and probably a criminal prosecution. That is the issue we...

I tried Miller High Life, that was good, as was Coors Banquet and light. Busch was just very different

I have recently been to the US (Wyoming and Colarado) for the first time since I was 10. In short, I was amazed how quiet, thoughtful, polite and friendly everyone was. In terms of what to bring back, I had planned for this badly and ended up being back about a dozen pairs of Wrangler jeans...

Kambaku near Otjiwarongo in Namibia is worth a look as well. It is fenced, but a very large fenced area. Excellent PHs, a choice of a comfortable hotel owned by the same people or a very nice bush camp. They have a lot of UK guests and a very sound, ethical operation. We did drive in to areas...
