  1. bit of a tricky one, i think its a case of you cant do right for doing wrong, do you leave the animal to suffer and die a slow painful death, or do something that is very much frowned upon to put it out of its misery, I DO NOT IN ANY WAY AGREE WITH SHOOTING FOXES WITH AIR GUNS but an fac rated airgun at 15 yards did the job, it may not be classed as humane , but is it humane to leave the animal suffering?

  8. hi people of the hunting life, have any of you ever decoyed pigeons and used a .22lr to shoot them. one of the farms i shoot on wants the pigeons gone and doesnt care how its done, he keep asking me why do i use a shot gun because for ever bird i shoot im scaring 10 away, he knows thats how pigeons are usually decoyd but he says there must be a different way, which has got me thinking, i know people shoot pigeons out of sitty trees with air rifles ( and before anyone says it i would never do this with a .22lr) but i was wondering would it work shooting pigeons with a .22lr as they land in the
