"The Dromia Rule"
Deer Stalking… reliable word of mouth recommendation from someone you know has undertaken such stalking being offered by a specific syndicate is best. Like other walks of life, stalking has its scammers. E.G., make sure there is deer, of the species sought, on the land being made available; that appropriate insurance is in place; that there is recourse for recompense if it all goes wrong. In addition, obtain and understand terms and conditions; consider the implications of allowing a syndicate leader to be a FAC mentor; make sure ‘coaches’ are suitably qualified; consider the quality of deer management, the construction & execution of a shooting plan and safety; determine if the land is over-shot.
If in doubt, contact BASC or similar.

Anyone considered to be a scammer will be banned without warning.

UK Legal Knife Law
I know this has been discussed before but I'm maybe going to buy a new folding knife and need to know if a UK Legal knife can be carried all the time regardless of what you are doing or do you need to still be engaged in some sort of hunting/shooting?
It's not the pace of life that concerns me, it's the sudden stop at the end!

Re: UK Legal Knife Law
Non-locking folding blade of no more than 3 inches (76mm) in length. There is often debate between how the length of the blade is measured, be it the length of the cutting edge, or the straight length (not taking any radii into consideration) of the blade. Essentially go for something about 2 3/4" (70mm) which is non locking (a la a Swiss Army knife style of backspring) and you'll be fine. Any more than 3", a fixed blade or locking blade of any length and you will need to provide "good reason" should you be stopped and questioned by the Police.
edit: I should point out that of course "any where" isn't always straight forward, walking around day to day shouldn't pose many problems, but if you often work in schools, official buildings/law courts etc or other places where certain items may be prohibited (airports etc are another example) then it would still be wise to leave it at home or in a workbag etc depending on the environment.

...and ALL KNIVES are banned from football grounds regardless of blade length - even 1/2" ones would be an arrestable offence!!
Re: UK Legal Knife Law

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools!!

Re: UK Legal Knife Law
That is interesting, I had to watch it a couple of times and look at the knife again to see how it worked. Are they available in the UK?
