Nice pictures and some nice trophy stags too!

The Arran scheme is a great idea, I hope it comtinues to be such a success and perhaps further areas can be opened up in the UK, who knows?

Going to Arran this summer for a wedding,looking forward to seeing some of the island,haerd good things about it.

I am finding those pictures sorely tempting....

Do you all drive up to Arran?

Nice pics PG,the luck of the Paddys is only there to keep you Brits honest. Looking forward to seeing some familiar faces on week 3 and, of course, the new recruits .....

If thats the case I will make sure that all, and excuse the politically incorrect terminology here "paddy's" get really good beats
"honest"

try christian.nordin.jurkand @ gmail.com

I´ll get them pics sorted for you..

Best regards Chris

Ah Griff, we all accept that your honesty is only exceeded by your ample charm and good looks. The boys from the Emerald Isle will be quite happy whatever beats we land. Good company, good "food", and a week in the land of the free with a good rifle shorten a long winter. How is the Italian coming on, have the young fillys at Cloudbase swooned before your latin chat lines? ...

We"ll hold you to that Griff!
The load development and and practise will begin in earnest shortly, anticipation mounting.....
good shooting

Guys these are the pics Steve Latham was talking about, btw I take no responsibility for them













Best regards to you all/Chris

Many thanks to Chris for his willing help, just a quick footnote, I wrecked the landscapes I was trying to send out, so substituted these, acknowledgements to Tony W. he's the guy with the Imperial on the first monday p.m. shoot, I'm the little fat guy in the background helping to get the argo in.

Okay it's time I had a go at uploading some Arran pics


Recovery Griff style; Gary's left and right.


Recovery Bob style; Alan's right, left is in the larder.


One to remember in my old age

October seems a long way off but already looking forward to walking the hills of Arran one more time.

Jeepers is that Saddam Hussein with a stag?
Actually Alan and I are in Hungary right now and I cant resist doing this !
Ps he missed a fox last night

Great trophies, sir, but Are you a question you can hunt with silencer?, I have seen in a photograph a rifle with silencer.

Thanks and congratulations,

Oscar.

Yes Oscar, in the UK and Ireland we can use sound moderators. I would not hunt without them.

In Spain are totally prohibited for hunting, because they are used by poachers. I understand that are useful for example when hunting at a time when some animal species other than what is permitted hunt is raising. Congratulations again for trophies.

Oscar.

Suppressors(not really silencers) are useful but they make the rifle awkward to carry and unbalanced.
Yes, they are used by poachers here too(that"s why 308 has one!)
good shooting

Now Now Girls!!

At least I dont use a barb wire fence to catch out of season deer!

I"m sorry, that was"nt true, he does"nt use it for poaching.
It"s so he does"nt break the winscreen with the muzzle blast!
good shooting

Ha Ha Angus! having sat for the first two nights freezing my buns off waiting for pigs to appear, the silver/grey coloured fox was irrestible. Is the Hungarian eqivalent of "buck fever" known as "swine fever"...? If so I am guilty, and there is one very lucky fox awaiting the halls of Valhalla next time. Your hunting package, ex Ireland, was superb and the social activity wasn't three bad either.
Many thanks .... Alan
