    I was a bit obsessed at one point watching Roy lupton flying his eagles on mountain hares and goshawks on rabbits and even on game birds, it’s something you don’t see a lot of and is stunning to watch ?

    Welcome, that sounds an amazing thing to be involved in, I’ve done almost every kind of country pursuit over the years, even the ones that are now banned that sadly people coming into this now will never get to experience but I’ve never been lucky enough to go out with someone who works birds, I’ve watched a lot of videos on YouTube and to see them chase down hares is a fantastic thing to watch ?

    Good choice that man ????

    They say that Jesus saves but he did nowt for these little beggars ?

    Haha, they are ideal if you want to kill it and skin it in one shot ?

    A mate of mine asked if I would like to remove a few rabbits from a church yard with him tonight, not to wipe them out but just to thin them as the congregation like to see a few about, so on arrival it became clear that a lot more shooting opportunities would of been had with air rifles but only having the little .22 rimfires we made the best of it, I managed 14 of all different sizes and all shot in daylight, I think my mate was around the same number, the church is surrounded by horse paddocks and looking over them there was double the amount of rabbits in them compared to what was in the

    Have you asked around the local farms to see if they are after beaters for there shoot, that’s always the way on my shoot, if you want to be a member you need to put the work in, saying that I’ll always give them a bit of shooting for there efforts ?

    The problem with the GL’s that have been released is they are to grey and can be interpreted in to many different ways, it wouldn’t work for the shooter or if someone was deemed to be not following the GL they would never secure a conviction because of how it is worded, on the other hand if pigeon was classed as quarry there’s clear guidelines as to when they can be taken and if you are not shooting for crop protection then you would not be effected by the GL also been seasoned this makes them a very sustainable food, it would make perfect sense to go this way and also to put corvid on as verm

    That’s what I want to see, by putting them on the quarry list you can take them for food in a season and they would still be covered under the GL for crop protection out of season, win win ? saying that I’ll believe it when I see it

    I’ve had the same problem on the sheep farm in the past and as I tell the farmer “ you can’t kill them all” this is no consolation when they are taking livestock especially when the livestock is essentially the kids pets, one saving grace is at least the cubs will still be hanging around the earth but it’s still never a nice job

    Could be time to bring home the bacon Bernard sausage ?

    http://www.wild-boar.co.uk/WILD-BOAR-POPULATION.html check out this site SD, they seem to be spreading quick, a lad I know said they have started to see them in South Wales, where he is, we get a few pigs up here but you only ever see them around the pubs on a weekend ?
  14. Stavross
    There’s a good few around here at the minute, we normally get a good go at them once the crops come down for the first couple of weeks, I don’t think we’ll ever see it how it once was, it’s been a lot of years since I’ve been out and taken 30’s

    You must be quackers to be represented by a lame duck ? they will give you a massive bill ? there need to all follow the same line, my doctors don’t charge for this

    I’ve messaged him for some pictures, I think this right up my street ?
  17. Stavross
    Yeah, sometimes it pays to be married to an accountant and one that won’t do anything less than five star ?

    A lovely way to spend a couple of hours on an afternoon and a couple of hoppers for your efforts, nice work ?

    By you live the life, I hope you paid for extra leg room ?, my missus has just book us a week in Cape Verde and I’m glad she’s paying because I almost fell over when she told me how much it was, don’t waste all your pennies on beer, shooting show next Sunday mate and you can soon burn through cash there on all manner of things you don’t need ?

    Haha, I’ve always called them puff guns, but didn’t want to offend anyone on here, I’ve read loads of the write ups on here and these lads have some lovely looking rifles and they certainly know how to use them, to me it will just be a tool for a job, if they ever got this GL carry on sorted out ?

    I’m terrible when it comes to parting with money ( it’s the northerner in me ) I’m off to the shooting show next Sunday so I’m going to have a fiddle with a few and make my mind up, it’s looking like a 99 but I do like the 97 stainless, I’m a bugger for a plastic rifle ?

    The one I seen last night was the wrong side of a boundary for me to shoot and I would of been shooting towards a campsite, I probably would of shot it if it was on my land but to be honest I really don’t like shooting them until I know I can take the cubs as well, the problem with this place is it’s all forestry surrounded by fields so until the crop is down there’s only a few places you can shoot, once the have combined at the end of July it’s game on, it becomes the easiest place I know to call them

    After receiving a call from the lovely old girl that owns the land where we have our pheasant shoot telling me about her rabbit problem and ringing around to see if anyone fancied a wonder out and been knocked back by everyone ( that includes you long one ?) I decided to go on my own, so I arrived around 7, after spending 30 minutes or so talking about this and that with my favourite old girl I went for a wonder, I had another reason to go up and that was to check out the fox situation I seen one about 60 yards from an earth I know to be active so as I don’t shoot them until June when I know t
