Q) A few friends and I rent an area of woodland and have a small pheasant shoot there. We usually have no problems with our neighbours and make every effort to minimise any disturbance. Now an area of ground has begun to flood and attract numbers of duck. We want to develop this pond and have explained to our neighbours what we are trying to achieve. One neighbour with whom we get on quite well, and who is happy to accept a few pheasants during the season, has been seen at the pond chasing duck away, presumably to stop them flighting and so making the pond worthless as a facet of the shoot. Is there anything we can do to stop his actions? (Name and address supplied) Read more
Q) I have just acquired a 12-bore side-by-side non-ejector in fair condition. The maker is W. J. Jeffery & Co Ltd, 9 Golden Square, Regent St, London W1. It is nitro proofed and the serial No. is 38319. Can you tell me anything about the maker? A. WARD Hampshire Read more
Q) Our rather bad shoot neighbours have dumped large mounds of wheat tailings on their land close to our boundary. Some of my poults have already found it and I am dogging them back, but as a part-time keeper I feel I am fighting a losing battle. Do you have any suggestions? The neighbours do not release any birds but are only too happy to shoot ours! (Name and address supplied) Read more
Q) I have been advised that to sell our dead game we have to buy a refrigerated unit to store birds until the gamedealer arrives, but our gamedealer always arrives on the evening that we have shot. Is this not just another case of regulations gone mad? We do not start shooting until November, spread our birds out and use a game room that has served us well for years. Do we have to comply with this? F. HARPER By email Read more
Q) I have been given a Verney Carron side-by-side 16-bore Helice 33 shotgun,No. 0441. It appears to have a “fixed” foreend so I am unable to remove it to see any proof markings etc. Can you tell me about this gun and the fore-end also? A. COOPER By email Read more
