Hi all, newbie to the whole idea of hunting etc though its something im finding myself more interested in. Im intending atm to purchase an air rifle to control pests on my allotment but the long term plan is to progress to deer stalking etc, the overall idea is to feed myself and family with meat and fish cought by myself as apposed to shop bought as im trying to do with the stuff i grow on my allotment.
