  1. 'Hunting' with an air rifle is a great skill and good fun, but in reality a poor form of pest control. 'Shooting' with an air rifle can be a handy form of pest control, but pretty much, just for lamping/n.v work for rabbits, or for shooting ferals indoors (i.e barn). Other than that if removal of pests was a priority, there would be far more efficient methods. But not everyone needs to be a pest controler, and needs to shoot all they can most efficiently, at the end of the day if everyone did that, there would be no more permissions to get, and very few bunnies to hunt.
  2. How many was there in that litter? As we know litters can vary in size, can't see a small litter getting through 2 rabbits a day so I'd imagine that was a fair sized litter? Not sure, but i think maybe more than one communaly raised litter
  3. Read above mate, your repeating yourself.
  4. Lets not ruin zinis excellent thread with any kind of off the point argument. I think it has less to do with the morals of shooting them, sometimes it IS needed, but has more to do with folk sticking loads of photos up of it and laying them out, to show how many 'kills' they have had, thinking it somehow makes them the 'great white hunter' or some kind of 'scout sniper'.
  5. I know what your saying mate, but i think in this case, the law effects peoples attitudes towards the weapon. I think a lot of the folk are not even idiots, just ignorant and a bit foolish. All the gear, no idea, and dangerous with it.
  6. Not sure with rainbows, some monsters about, and had some very decent blues, but i think my biggest brown, was 7lb something (12 maybe?), taken on the tweed, with a tups indispensable dry, which is basically wool from a rams nuts.
  7. Good afternoon with the dogs, made a rare pub visit, swum in the river, people watched. Dog tried to eat a westie tho.

  8. The sad thing is that someone off here will probably be down argos tomorrow looking for it!

  9. "I'm sure some folks will be filling there boots on a glut of young magpies soon and won't bat an eyelid." Not if they killed momma and dadda magpie first. . . . . . and anyhow, if there are kits about, there are adults, if your only ever seeing kits, it's because your scaring away the adults before you get into sight.
  10. Cheers for replying in a civil manner, rather than assuming that if i am not over whelmingly gushing in my positivity, then i must be a 'wrong un'. I know what your saying about the nature of illegality, being illegal does not stop something happening (rightly or wrongly), and as you sau there are plenty of folk shot dead with had guns despite them being illegal etc. However my argument is more from the point that, without any kind of licensing, many folk see air rifles as a kind of toy, a cool toy, but a toy. The kind of parents that buy 'little wayne' an air rifle and let him go off
  11. FECK SAKE ...... GET OVER YERSELF PEST CONTROL ? ..... CERTAINLY NOT HUNTING ........ MORE LIKE AN EXCUSE TO KILL SOMETHING IF YOU THINK DIFFENT ALL I CAN SAY IS WE ARE POLES APART ....... A LOT OF THE YONUG LADS I SEE OUT HUNTING TODAY HAVE NO RESPECT FOR THE QUARRY THEY HUNT ....... AND MORE OFTEN THAN NOT IF BORED ON THE WAY HOME WILL SHOOT ANYTHING IN THEIR PATH FROM BLACKBIRDS TO FREE RANGE HENS AND THEN KIDS WONDER WHY THE FARMERS WONT GIVE THEM PERMISSION ? DUCKWING I agree with a lot of what you say most of the time, but you do occasionally hav
  12. Definatly mate, i been checking out your you tube channel, some good vids.
  13. he never mentioned killing anything from a shop with no licence , what the feck you lots taking because it must be strong stuff . . . . . and it's interesting that you call me retarded, when you obviously struggle to read.
  14. I do wonder what your motives are for hanging around here blessing us with your wisdom. Out spoken hypocrite with a dislike for air rifles. trolling is all I guess. Boredom or some f****n one man army to get legislation on air weapons tightened? Karpman Alright sunshine. SOrry was i not invited into your private members club. . . . oh wait, no sorry this IS still an open forum. I spend time in this section because i like to read the write ups and posts from some of the VERY knowledgeable, and very skilled folk I don't have a dislike of air rifles, i own 3. What i
  15. Is fire-bombing a website not a bit strong?
  16. At the end of the day, photographs and arguments are more interesting to look at than arguments on their own.
  17. Disgusting isn't it, it's a shame the public didn't know the extent of whats going on, cos i bet more of them would be pissed off about the waste of government / police money than they would be about the dead hare. The police respond in, in numbers. Sniffer dogs (multiple) are called to the scene. 5 dogs to be DNA tested. 3 men arrested, processed and detained over night. Two dogs kept, housed, fed etc. Any one want to guess what that lot costs, with the man hours added?
  18. Just harvested some asparagus!

  19. I think the only points you can take from it - is that it is really worrying that ANYONE can go out and buy a firearm capable of killing from a shop with no licence, training or skill, and that lamping with a rifle is also (half the time due to the shooter) f*****g lethal.
  20. At the end of the day, a lot of dogs have the ability to be an 'all rounder', it's usually the owners lack of time or motivation that stops a good dog being a great dog.
  21. Those burrow blasters are f*****g evil, you will agree when you see someone use it on inhabited rabbit/rat runs.
  22. Animals all done, garden/yard tidied. . . off fishing! Yay!
