    Logun. I think stock fence would not suffice as a "tunnel" and although I accept that your view about the trigger wire being the same thickness as a snare, to me, a trap is a trap, and a snare is a snare. (or a "wire" where I come from) I may of course be proved wrong!

    He will have to go to court to get one from a magistrate, but this can be done out of hours if urgent.

    We are the same, all we are shooting and trapping are dogs, we havnt seen a vixen for some time. Getting a lot of quite black ones as well compared to normal. In fairness though this always happens at this time with the dogs looking for a mate and moving around.

    Let's not forget this lad has space on his ticket for a .17hmr and a .222. I am not quite sure were the talk of a .22rf is coming from. The lad will quite clearly get more shooting done with a .17hmr on rabbits and pigeons than he will with a .222, and at considerably less price, and meat damage. The other thing that needs to be considered is the environment different people shoot in. Up in the hills on sheep farms where I shoot, the .17hmr is far more use to me than a .22rf, and as far as wind goes, the .22 gets affected more than the .17hmr. It isn't as easy as just suggesting a cali

    Reason for the mod, is the same as the rifle. I.e. vermin control. Your feo will ask any further questions on your interview.

    It's funny, but when I was a kid, I made all sorts of traps for anything I thought I could catch. Nobody told me I shouldn't do it, and my dad thought it was great, because it exercised the mind. My 7 year old is now doing the same thing without any prompting or story telling from me. If I still had the time, I would probably still do the same now, similar to Logun. His traps may not be approved, but the fact he is looking at different ideas is great. imo. Pointless posts on here that argue about the law, do nothing but harm to trapping generally. Accept the design, love it or lik

    Well, I have had a Bushnel Banner 3-9x40 on my HMR since I bought it, with a standard reticle. During the time I have had the HMR, I have discovered that in the right conditions, with no wind, then it is a superbly accurate rifle, allowing me to take crows and rabbits beyond 250 yards. With a little wind, then I have to start earning my crust and work out my calculations for range and deflection, and adjust accordingly. That wind is a b...... when you are used to a 168g from a .308! Anyway, I have been toying with the idea of upgrading my scope to one with slightly more magnificati

    Interesting, and I know how you feel. I have a few permissions I have been doing to recently that have between 2-8 hole sets on them, and usually loads of bunnies, but although plenty of rabbits seen, at night, very little bolting during the day. Even the ones I am bolting from bracken, heather and bent, are not going to ground. I can only assume it has something to do with warm weather.

    I dont necessarily agree with it but it goes on, and I know a few sporting farms around me that are doing it. That is, the landowner is doing it! They want rabbits for sport, and owning 5-8000 acres of land, I don't see an issue. Even if they leave the land, the surrounding areas are just moorland and rushes. One of the farms I control corvids on, will not even allow me to take rabbits and hares, because of their sporting value. There is a big difference in doing this up north in the hills, were a big population is never going to build up, and doing it in other parts of the country w

    Ideation. If its like the scum security trade in Manchester, the next thing that will happen is that they will start arranging undesirable low lifes, coming on your permissions with guns or dogs, and then they will either turn up then and be the hero, or they will approach the landowners the day after, when the landowner is mighty pissed off with unknown people coming on his land. It's a ploy that might work, but hopefully not.

    Lee. Because you say you want to use your new rifle for pigeon and crow, with the occasional fox, then out of the two rifles you can have then in my opinion the hmr is ideal. You will take crows out to 200, with practice, in ideal weather and the wind effect is true, rbut learn to read the wind, and that is just somehing else to add to the equation, and your bullet will be on Target. If you are more fox than crow, go with the .222.

    Nice one and its great what your son has achieved. He will remember his first bunny in his own net for years to come. A big thumbs up to your donator of the equipment, Shaunpaul.

    I'm sure I used to use them in 6's for pigeon. Are they spelt Rekord.

    Awesome. One of my mates always tells the story of when he was a kid, him and a couple of his mates were messing about on the moors just outside Glossop and recovered a large machine gun from an aircraft that had crashed a few years before towards the end of the war. They decide to take it home and clean it up, so between them they start to haul it back over the moor. They then get a bit hissed of with carrying it, and realised they will probably get a rollocking of their dads, so they toss it away into another boggy marsh! He doesnt know whether it has ever been found by somebody else,

    Demand that the images they have of you are destroyed, or you will sue them for deformation of character if they use them again.

    Where the locally well known poem , "The Brown Hare of Whitebrook" originated. Or just underneath 'Pots and Pans' anyway.

    I use one occasionly and they are excellent as a hide stool, minus the support, and they are ok with a spotting scope on them. With a light centre fire they are ok in the back of a pickup for lamping, but with a heavy rifle they haven't quite got the strength to be really stable for the longer shot. This is something that Darren from Idleback is aware of, and the last I heard, he was looking into attaching a sling to the back of the chair and the support. They are a well made bit of kit, and would be excellent from a static point with lots to shoot at, with an air rifle, rimmy or other light

    Not much use for the one you have, but if rebuying, then the ase utra Northstar doesn't touch the barrel apart from at the thread, yet it is still an over the barrel design, and much shorter than, t8 or wildcat.

    Good day! I take it Griff and Ash are the 2 chicks on your avatar!

    Nice one matey, I just love seeing rabbits threaded on a pole like that. Reminds me of when I was a kid and me and my mate would walk through the village with them, like a proper pair of hunters!
