Exactly this ? This section is full of those that talk the talk but don't walk the walk. Only a small handful actually get their boots dirty . Meant to be a hunting forum but more like Mumsnet ffs
-
Well played ?
-
I knew it was dead but he made it even deader ? Have you put your dummy back in , I thought you weren't posting anymore ??
-
Too true , I am the same ,done it for years as nobody meets my high standard ? Nothing wrong with being a grumpy old man ?
-
Yep it's all about being seen to have done something
-
So you were right ...a dickhead. I've always used soft points with no problem , I've found v max worse with the bullet splashing and not killing the fox.

Wise words. The HMR is marginal on foxes and I see nothing wrong with another insurance shot. Personally if I was targeting foxes I would only use a centrefire ,the foxes I have shot with HMR were all opportunistic when out shooting rabbits .

You can take as much as you want but better invite Ben down ?

Balls deep in a ewe no doubt ???

Ffs you are only jealous. We share a common interest i.e. shooting. We actually get out in the field a lot not like you and the other pretenders on here . Now run along little boy and fiddle with your sheep ? It must be awful reading all these hunting threads when all you can do is wonder what if ? I pity your sad pathetic little life.

Thousands in Northumberland but still in big groups.

If only ?

They were shown this pic and well impressed
-
Pity we arent as some serious culling would be going on ?
-
Yep I would soon sort them but its not my ground. Good news as I was elected at the shoots AGM to shoot the pigeons and crows on 1000 acres as nobody else bothers. The area is great for both , place is alive with the blacks so cant wait to get on it this year ?
-
No mate Northumberland. Forester has just emailed my mate to say he saw 9 this morning in a new planting and to get them sorted.

Glad to report no drama on my outing last night with the HMR. Performed well again missing only 3 shots but that was due to me snatching as rabbits skittish and wouldn't sit still , consequently trying to track them on the quads isn't easy but I do like a challenge. Furthest shot was 108 paces ? Getting old though for stomping about the Durham hills carrying a full game bag but still I cant help myself.

Yep a trans roe ...the poor unfortunate soul ran out in front of the van and committed suicide.
-
I'm using Winchester , all cases checked but will be listening for the click.

Yesterday afternoon I set off with my mate to cull some of the roe on his ground. Only 2 does have been taken so far so a few need thinning out. The weather forecast had changed and the winds were now 40mph hence no roe out in the open where we were expecting them so a change of plan saw us heading to the lea side of the big wood where it was sheltered. Almost immediately I spotted 4 roe edging along the side of the wood heading for a rough corner where they always head to. We made a large circle to get the wind right and were soon within 60 yards of them in some cover . To cut

Thanks for that , out again with mine tonight but have all these thoughts going on in my mind now ,

The clue is in the name ...rimfire ?
