    Hi Does anyone use anything other than subsonic ammo for rabbit control on here? Cheers

    thanks for the input chaps, all very intersting. bottom line is...why use a shotgun when there are more than enough people out there who have the correct tools for the job!

    Please can you guys help settle an argument I have been having with a friend. Are shotguns legal to shoot deer with? I say no, if not legally then certainly ethically! But he says yes dependant of cartridge!? Can anyone clarify?

    Hi lads, Im in need of some help from a ratting crew, we have a couple of acres of land with stables, some pheasant pens, chicken houses etc. we are starting to get over run with rats! My dogs have a crack at them but I need an experienced terrier crew to get then numbers down. There is a few really big feckers! If anyone can help please contact me and we'll have a morning getting it sorted.....pastys, tea and biscuits and maybe some home brew cider will part of the deal! Cheers

    No its not anything to smirk about...but......who the feck pays farmers to shoot vermin!???? Come on...seriously? the people I shoot for all give me a xmas bottle or a few quid, I wouldn’t be spending money on guns, fuel, ammo, clothing etc etc etc if I then had to pay for the shooting as well! Unless its is a lease on deer stalking!

    Hello boys and girls, what’s you views on proven running dogs, and buying pups with little known background? For instance, a friend of mine on here "bullmastif" had a cracking lurcher called Roo who he got from a home, he didn’t know his background but the dog was a class act! Anyone what knows bullmastiff and Roo will vouch for that! Also a friend of mine bought a pure whippet pup last year, from an advert in the paper with record of a working background and dog is retrieving live to hand, and is a little corker! So the question is...is it really the breeding stock or i

    I’m in St Austell, but I have a couple of thousand acres dotted over Devon and Cornwall. I gave got quite a few hundred acres with either barley, cabbage ( sh*t load of pigeons there, I guess they like cabbage!??) and various other crops. I can travel anywhere really…company fuel card comes in handy when running a 4x4! The barley won’t be cut till mid July usually, but I do have some other ground where i see them regularly. dannyboy - I have replied to your PM.

    Hello boys and girls, I am sad to say that I have never been pigeon decoying and I am desperate for someone to show me the ropes! I am an experienced rifle shot, and spend most of my time lamping for rabbits or deer stalking. However I have loads of ground "going to waste" with barley and various other crops. If someone is willing to help get me started I can return the favor with a couple of outings looking to a roe buck, or a few nights lamping etc. if anyone is willing to help it would be much appreciated. ps: I don’t have any decoying kit, apart from a 12guage!...Iâ

    Hello everyone, Just a quick poll to see who cleans their centre fire rifle etc, been a long debate within my shooting friends! Cheers Happy hunting

    Hello bullmastiff! I to have had issues with the atlas joint on the past....and your right, it isnt "always" instant...end of story! As previously mentioned you have to change the method according to the situation. When I went on my first impala hunt in Africa I was faced with a VERY lively buck (the one as my profile pic as it goes), I managed to avoid getting severally injured (god knows how, I was so inexperienced back then) and straddle the buck so I could use a knife... when I stuck it, it only seems to anger the beast even more! It quickly turned in to a "buffalo bill" and the

    I know what you mean about elusive deer...I saw a cracking 6 pointer last year twice...I now haven’t see him since last season...admittedly im not the most regular stalker in the world but it is a fair point about taking a deer when you see it.

    Hi I am in st austell PM me if you want to sort something out.

    Good point re Charlie. I was talking to my local gamekeeper this morning. He told me he has killed more foxes with a .22LR with subsonic ammunition (head shots)than any other rifle he owns, including his state of the art .223. He puts this down to the fact that he always has it with him and his fieldcraft allows him to get the foxes in to about 60yds, which he considers to be near the maximum for the rifle/bullet combination on foxes. It certainly gave me food for thought, as I am having rabbit problems in our horse paddocks and was getting a .17 HMR for that, but now I may spend more
  20. langouroux
    I personally would never have a .17hmr over a .22lr for the the following reasons: .17hmr is pricey to run if you shoot a lot .17hmr is fecking noisey compared to the .22lr .17hmr is rubbish in the wind to also have to clean a .17hmr barrel I know it is a cracking round and a lot of my friends swear by them, but its not for me i'm afraid. and just to put the cat amongst the pigeons, .22lr is also capable of handling charlie at reasonable ranges with well plced shots. cheers
