Question from a simpleton......
Simoman replied to Simoman's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
Baldie, would 4's be overkill. I've got loads left from fox shooting........... -
I run a large animal collection containing companion animals, livestock and exotics. I also teach a variety of animal related topics. I left school after several years of staring out the window and spent 7 years unpacking books in a grotty warehouse on minimum wage in the centre of Nottingham, my now wife bullied me into going to University at 23 and I graduated after studying animal science(god bless her), I then worked as a dog warden before coming to my current job. I also do a bit of dog training, training dogs for manwork, tracking and obedience.

Thanks baldie, its a friend of a friends last day as a keeper on a big estate and we are walking it with dogs, hes told me to bring my shepherds but I think i'll just take the terrier and have been told that rabbits, pheasants, foxes and crows are to be shot. It's just for a few of the beaters and us, looking forward to it. -
Almost all my shooting with my shotgun is for pigeons, for the first time this week I have been invited to attend a shoot where I will be shooting my first pheasants, what shot size is best

I can't understand why people have a problem with killing a fox but not with a rat My main quarry are rats as that is a more common species on my permission. I think we all kill animals and to try and justify it by degrading another mans quarry is wrong. I didn't read Poachers thread but don't be put off posting because of a few idiots.

It was a collie I used for lamping, he was fine apart from being a bit sore. Always wary of horses after a friends Russell was stamped to death.

I try to avoid livestock if possible, I am a bit wary of horses but had a bad experience several years ago when a group of bullocks tried to kill my dog, he outran them around the field and escaped by jumping over a dry stone wall, the worrying thing was the 10 foot drop on the other side.

It's unlikely that your dogs would get fleas from a fox that is just passing through. Are you sure it's just fleas? not mange or another skin condition?

Get advantage, although I think the name has changed. DON'T dip your dogs in Jeyes, who suggested this

Salclalin, I think hes either wrong or winding you up?????

Best laugh i've had this year

I watched it, not bad. Seems the whole series is about dogs in New Zealand, something different
-
Wow, some good numbers I like the photo of the rats escaping through the mesh. I got some new permission for rats unfortunately i'm not the only person taking terriers so the huge numbers are being split

BARF, without question.......

" King Rat of 2007 " ~ Shall We Go For It?
Simoman replied to a topic in Snaring, Trapping & Pest Control
Well ditchy I've only had a couple of rats this year and they were only average, i'll see if any monsters turn up on a ratting trip next month. The rat in my photo was one of over a 100 that we caught in a few hours, a large number of the rats were above average size with some real monsters, they were decimating the farms corn and maybe the corn diet helped them grow?? -

Just finished it Jonno, the book would have benefitted with more information, I enjoyed reading about the guns and equipment although stalking isn't my thing. Thanks for the info on the other book
