    Chinning is the best way for me if they are in the net. Take hold of the bunny around the back of the neck firmly with the web of the hand as close to the base of the skull as possible, then put the heel of the other hand underneath the chin, and force back until you feel the break. The hand holding the bunny, is what is stopping the head bending back without breaking so If you dont have this high enough up the neck, it will take longer and cause unnecessary suffering. ( like it is easier to snap a strong stick on the edge of a hard surface) If they are not in the net, then stretch the

    Good answer.

    Yes, thanks, I was just looking on new posts. I genrally look at the topic and then click on it, if it looks interesting, and I was then confused because accuracy international was mentioned.

    Are you talking Airgun, rimfire or centre fire?

    Mike. I use a CZ452, with a heavy weight 16" varmint barrel. It should easily group on a 2p at 100 yards. I zero mine at 110 yds and it will do less than this. We all shoot poor groups occasionally as well, but the majority should be good. Even in the wind, the .17hmr should group OK, but mean point of impact will change. A friend of mine has an anschutz .17 hmr, and I think it has a shorter barrel than mine, and doesnt feel as heavy as mine, but he shoots well with it, and uses it on corvids and foxes with excellent results. I see various people shooting AI sniper rifles and one

    Maybe this post should be called spookey but true!

    It was about 1980, and I was sat in the middle of a rhodedendron bush in the middle of a wood called White Sytch in Shropshire. We had, had a spate of nights were we had been picking up 2" .410 cartridges around the roosts, and I was with a fellow gamekeeper called John. We were on poacher watch, it was after midnight and at a cross roads, in the wood, were it would be reasonable for poachers to pass across, and the ambush was ready (or, so we thought! Pick axe handle at the ready, and two way radio linked to Barry another keeper, near by.) All of a sudden, a stout figure with a couple o

    I call it supper, and it would have to be smoked salmon on a bed of watercress mash, with a splash of pesto......... :laugh: :laugh: Naaaaah.....it's tea and its Corned beef hash, with worcester sauce, pickled red cabbage, and a poached egg on top!!

    What MOA does your scope have Tegater? Quarter minute of angle.

    Same as Hunter 1, I zero mine at 110yards, about 100 m. It squeezes a few more yards out of a flat trajectory. This is a little table I made up, for glueing inside scope cover, for the ranges I need to aim off or adjust. Good luck with rifle, you will have some fun.

    Its funny mate, but we get quite a few pockets of black ones in the pennines and wherever we find the black ones, we always find the odd ginger one. They dont seem to have any trouble surviving the bad winters we have had these last few years. Nice sport. A kind of Rabbit McNab I suppose!! lol

    Are you sure its a ferret!!!! LOL

    Liam. I dont know if this is any use, but I bought a harness for mine last year from Bridport nets, and its basically 2 collars linked together, but they can both pull out to use seperatley. One of the collars is slightly longer than the Deben ones, and the same width, and brown in colour. They may be OK. (£3.60) If you can wait till this evening, I can measure them, if somebody else doesnt come up with a better solution. PM me if you want me to do this. It might be easier than making your own out of sheet leather.

    Last one I was going to have done was April, they were still doing them then. Went for the OP option in the end.
  16. tegater
    I say don't go without one, and the Deben mk 3, is bob on, if you use it as its meant to be used.

    It looks like "Robins Pincushion" which is the home of the Gall wasp larvae. Would probably have been green a few weeks ago. Not 100%, somebody else may confirm. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Diplolepis-rosae.jpg

    Shooting sticks are brilliant in the right situation and for the right reason. I generally use them only for shooting over high cover, such as long grass etc etc. Using a pair of sticks is better than no support, but if you can "lock out" the rest of your body as well, by leaning against a wall / tree etc they are superb. I have never bought any as I cant see the point, and my first ones were made of two lengths of hazel cut to the required length, and tied together with a thin bungee, so that the shooting height can be altered easily. I now use two lengths of fibre glass pole, with a cycl

    Well said that man. Feeeel the love!

    Thats neat, I have one or two places I could use that, but otherwise its stock fencing and open runs for me aswell. I like the idea though.

    You could attach a swivel either way, direct on the snare or twine. I've never bothered with them, but the wood tealer/swivel setup works well.. Thanks
  22. tegater
    Cracking photos those. I take it you are using a fast lens for those with your dog chasing the ball. They're pin sharp.
  23. tegater
    Good website that, for anyone interested or learning knots of all descriptions.
  24. tegater
    Interesting this one. Have you attached the rabbit wire to the swivel, by the twine, or is the wire attached directley to the swivel like a fox wire? Looks a good way of doing it. (I cant tell from the photo)

    What is the point of phoning them if they still turn out anyway? Police my way dont seem to find it a suprise, that people go shooting in rural areas. They will soon get fed up turning out to the same person shooting, on the same farms, on the same days or nights of the week!
