    It’s getting silly I have never really kept records of the general vermin I have controlled, but I have controlled it for the right reasons as have most people, do we now have to send for these licenses, as I sent off last time when they revoked the general licenses, and I never even got an acknowledgment from natural England, mind you I think by that time they would have been a little overwhelmed, ??

    I have a Remmy 700 in 223 I hated it at the start after chopping my 222 for it, however once I found the round for it, and shortened the barrel, what a tool I love it now, I have it as a dedicated night vision rifle and won’t be changing it, I have had tika in 243 many years ago and they are very good guns well worth buying ,

    I have two of them don’t really use them, but I have, and they do work far better with a tunnel trap,

    Once they find it you will be ok, feed twice a week and shoot once a fortnight small ponds are the best as the birds are more concentrated, and within range I have a few small ponds and they are very productive, if you put some whole maize in your feed you can see it better on the bottom and so get a better idea of how much food they are taking, I had issues with one of my ponds where the birds wouldn’t come in so I strimmed the grass down around the edge so the birds could see what was approaching the pond, must have made them feel safe cos I get good numbers off that pond every year,

    I have had them, over the years and found they didn’t suit my shooting as in I didn’t do a lot of hide work, most of my shooting then was walked up, however they were good and very reliable on the marsh, anyway now I do loads of crow and pigeon shooting, but mainly use semi, I did however buy the mossberg hushpower 20 gauge and 410, and love them, Once you get used to cycling them you don’t notice it, and it stops you firing 3 shots rapidly in the same spot, it makes you adjust your swing I find them very useful indeed and thinking of getting un-silenced barrels for my 2 mossbergs they are wo

    Hi fox dropper, what kind of ranges were they, I like the look of them apart from them being add on’s, it wouldn’t be so bad if they added onto the front of the scope, I am not sure I will get on with one,

    DSC 1and 2 are not needed to shoot/ control Deer it is a money making game, I have both and I can tell you the standards of some of the witnesses / are not very inspiring to say the least, if you want to qualify to tender leases With the forestry commission or its contractors Then you have to have the DSC qualifications, or you will not be considered, I have stalked since the mid 80’s, and I can tell you there are stalkers out there That will run circles around most of the DSC so called professionals, but live there lives quietly, so long as you can prove you have need for a Deer caliber, they

    I have fancied one that will for a while now, I recon that would be very handy, you could place it over certain runs, and it will ping you when the fox is on its way,

    I sold mine because, it wasn’t that good in wind, and I shot loads with it, ammo supply was unpredictable, anyway I replaced it with a 22 hornet and never looked back I love the caliber,

    Totally justified in a situation like that, and that’s where the problem lays proving it’s justified, but nowadays we all have mobile phones, with the ability to take video, it’s crap when farmers loose lambs all the time to what’s in my view idiots, then they turn around and play the victim,

    I would say very few of them have ever seen a man, Australia’s vast never ending supply of foxes, dream place to hunt,

    I know what you mean about finding a gun, but a lot of 410 are now multichoke and it seems 1/2 choke is sufficient for the slug
  23. 3175darren
    Which one have you got wilf, I have been looking at them Korum barbel rods they are cheap and that is what makes me cautious, but they do the 1.75 and 2lb test curves

    I have dispatched animals for yr’s and have been asked this a fare few times, mostly road casualties you are right at close range a 410 is my preferred tool of choice, and nothing survives it, or a .22 rimfire is ample, the problem you have is when the animal has antlers, or you can’t get up close, when they are antlered it’s hard to cover there eyes, as in a jacket over it’s head, to quieten the animal, I know most are laid shocked up and to dispatch is easy, it’s not that I will choose to use a 410 slug as a first round of choice, but I believe it has its place, and to be frank I have seen p

    Human despatch, destruction of vermin, why would they grant 12 gauge slug, if not 410 ??
