Why? you're F****** obsessed man! Obsessed i tell ya!?

How do ferrets help with squirrels?
-
Peanuts, my mate gets them from a wholesale place. They can't resist peanuts, they soon find them and every squirrel in the neighbourhood comes for a feed.
-
I usually feed them for a week or so then have a few hours one morning on them. Three hours generally see's me getting a dozen to fifteen. They make good fox bait.
-
Either a shotgun whilst mooching about or my 32ftlb BSA R10 off squirrel feeders.
-
Get some sheep interfered with or something, stupid boy!? -
Fortunately i am not in a club. I wouldn't be in one that would accept me as a member anyway.?
-
I just shoot off the roof of the vehicle using a 4" bipod and rear bag. Same as 95% of my shots.
-
I always have them in the jimny and weigh them as a matter of interest.
-
That looks to be a lump of a fox. Have you weighed it?
-
Network rail are f*****s for it. Everywhere they go myxy follows.
-
If you have kept records then you will know exactly how many more foxes where shot using n/v. How many more per year was it?
-
The cullers culling what shouldn't be culled?
-
It certainly is. A couple of years ago a farmer i know proudly proclaimed that he had secured and released several myxy rabbits. Within a few weeks there wasn't any to be found anywhere. Every sheep farmer in that area began losing lambs at an alarming rate. I didn't need any encouraging to tell them why and who was responsible either.

If he does another video when you go, try not to talk. I thought i was watching an episode of "when the boat comes in".?
-
Can i have your autograph? i don't know anyone else famous.? I see in the comments you have the usual armchair hunter criticising. I couldn't let it slide so i have given him the benefit of my wisdom.?
-
This is where your argument/opinion falls down. The problem isn't whether thermal/n/v is used, the problem is shooting five foxes in a night. Whatever method is used, shooting big numbers in areas where the vacant territories aren't repopulated quickly can only lead to one conclusion. Foxes only have one litter a year and eventually the pressure of year round shooting will show in the lack of foxes. Some places i go to seem to have a never ending supply, usually adjacent to a town or in the middle of several big villages. Other more rural places it would be easy to wipe t

Well no need to worry about that. You haven't bought any because you are tighter than f*****g cramp! ?
-
You can only shoot them once and when you have that's it.
-
You would know if it was me, they would be dead!?
-
Yes.
-
The steel i used are sixty five pounds a slab.
-
They are plastic for now but in the new year they will be biodegradable. However, as a committed "eco terrorist" i don't much care about that, i am looking at killing ability only. Not only do they kill well they are cheap! ? I can hear the ears pricking "in't north east" as we speak.? It is only thirty pound to have the bore opened up by a proper gunsmith in Sandbach. I sent Three sxs guns to be opened up ready for steel.
-
Seeing as it was a dry day i thought i would take the opportunity to try some steel cartridges on the pigeons. These cartridges are loaded just down the road from me and the company is called Empire. I have been using their lead cartridges for a couple of years but decided to try their steel out. They are 29grm 5s and in a clear case. Because it is steel (which is copper coated) you get twice as much shot as lead. The birds weren't feeding on the stubble but it doesn't matter at this place because there are a couple of decent flight lines and if you set up decoys there is a good chance of pull

During the week, Wednesday, i thought i might go and have a look for foxes to a farm about nine miles away. This place consists of three farms together that belong to the same owner. It usually produces a fair number of foxes during the year so i thought i had best have a look. We set up at the bottom of a field right by the river and set the foxpro off with pheasant distress. Where we had set up is kind of at the end of an elongated bowl, so the ground rises all around except behind. Anyway ten minutes in and a fox had snuck in and was sat down in front of us listening to the caller. I quickl
