With having this present breathing problem i was a bit fed up of staying in the house so i thought i'd do a little shooting in the back yard. so out i went and set up some cotton thread on some of those pins that you use for pinning up messages on those cork boards set them against white paper to see results. I started shooting on the first thread starting right to left was not pleased with the start anyway here's the Vid watch untill end as i moved on to a grouping shots: Dave -
congratulations Elliott, hope you get loads of Bunnies, and Photos for us to see: Dave
-
Carl good bit of shooting, a brace of each, the photos are good don't worry about the orientation we drop goolies i do plenty, at least you made the effort to show us: Dave

The camera Is a JVC EVERIO G 32 x OPTICAL, 800 x DIGITAL HDD 40GIG. Billy, I am a very very nice man, so much so Alan W that now shoots with me is from Royston West Yorkshire about 13 miles from me. he joined on a forum i was on and one of his first posts was discussing were he was shooting which was on a railway line near his home, i told him that he could get done for armed trespass and as i did not want that to happen to someone who had just started shooting. I told him to stop, sent him my phone number and offered to take him with me, Then found 800 acres permission near Ware he lives so

Hi Si, yes i have a 1000 acre permission that is virtually arrable quite a few Rabbits on it that are inaccessible due to the high crops, its were i shot that 60 yard Rabbit in the horse Paddock if you remember my post a few weeks back it as not been shot much for that reason. David the farmer should be combining any time now, as i passed last Saturday i noticed it was ripe then, The trans pennine way runs right through it but no detriment as there's lots of place's to get out of the way. There's also the golf course that backs on to my backyard permission as i call it, there's also a small 2

Hi my grandson is 8 and i am teaching him to shoot, he is exceptionally good, only had 4 x 1 hour lessons on targets at 23 yards lased, and he can put an average of 8 in the area of a new penny. but i will only teach him when he's good for his mum as he can be a bit of an handful, I'm trying to teach him discipline through shooting it'll be a long haul though, watch the Vid on my channel just search my user on here on you tube: Dave

Bedlington what part of the country you from your profile don't say much: Dave

Hi Si, Thanks for the comment, to appear with you on Verminhunterstv would really make my day, i don't no if you noticed in the vid i sounded like a stalker with my Breathing, i was in a right old state when i got home thats one of the reasons it wasn't a long Vid. I was really out of breath, been struggling with it for months now on and off, but got to see the Doc this morning as an emergency and i have a large infected area in my throat thats swollen and obstructing my airway. I'm now on very strong antibiotics for a week so won't be out for a week at least, I live in Castleford West Yorkshi

Hell fire £3.75 a bird, i wish i was getting that for my pigeon shooting I'd be able to retire, ho i am LOL never mind, good shooting keep it up and if she keeps paying out like that "you'll be able to retire soon" ATVB: Dave

Hi, never too young to get them interested, in shooting, get them a toy Rifle each and try and instill the art of stealth into them make them feel like they are actually hunting might work and make them quieter: Dave

Well yet again you've come up with a very educational Video SI / DAVY, and may i say excellent shooting Davy, your the best lads: Dave

Spring piston rifle vermin control with Si Pittaway and Davy Thomas
hotshot2me replied to zini's topic in Airgun Hunting
HI Si / Davy, i understand exactly were your coming from with snide comments, just gone through it on my Bad Hare Day post over the last few days not nice, but it won't grind me down Nore will it you two I'm sure. Keep em coming more the better as far as I'm concerned and take what ever shots you feel to get the job done i know you both have the skill to pull it off, so carry on doing what you do best: Dave -
For the Magpies make a makeshift nest about 25 to 30 yards out, put in 2 hens eggs one with shell cracked open the other in tact, but most of all remain concealed to the last minute. Once you've shot your first Magpie peg it out at the side of the nest looking in, you'll find this will then attract the crows, and this methods as cheap as chips: Dave

As The one says start at distance and gradually work in, but don't do this all in one session do it over a number of days, when you feel its steady at distance then move in closer. Its still a young dog yet so should be steady to your command at 13 months, just don't rush things or you'll put it off for good: Dave
-
Lew, are you using any Crow decoys in conjunction with your pigeon decoys, if not do so put a couple about 6 feet apart to one side of the main pattern, you can buy them on e-bay about £5 and they are flock so don't shine. you'll find this works well, shot a few like this, You see it works like this they feel safer when they see other Crows with the pigeons and same for the Pigeons, hope you have good shooting: Dave
-
Peter, as Ratty as said you don't need to go and try and get everything all a once, if you have permission on arrable crops, they will be combining in the next week or so. if you have some shell decoys use some rocker stakes, mounting stakes with the springs on, These work well in a fare sized pattern. And if your good with your hands make some cradles so you can stretch the wings out. out of the metal coat hangers if you can find some ask around friends they are still about. You can mount them on the thin garden bamboo cane's that are at graden centres, about six foot long. I have done this i

Thanks for the comments lads try to do my best: Dave

no problems with shooting hares, as i keep repeating, but do you not think it would have been better with hindsight to have done it in the winter before they had young or after they have finished rearing their young, its 4 months a year Paulus i have said that i do sympathies with what you have said, i can answer why they did not get shot through the winter, 1, we were controlling large fields of rape and i mean large, as the Pigeons had been decimating the fields, then not until the rape had got really well established could we then leave those fields for others. 2, The fields with the har

I agree Mawders. it is hard to do both Video and Shoot but its something I'd wanted to do, i would like to do it like Davy ans SI but we usually split up when we are Rabbitting, the fields we shoot are very large which again makes it difficult, its so easy to find yourself in the totally wrong place. Ive been trying to get my breathing sorted now for 5 months, Ive had all sorts of tests, chest x-ray, camera up and down pardon the French, I'm taking that much Ferrous Sulphate i think I'll turn into an IRON INGOT: Dave

Alan W and i decided yesterday to go to the Wheat field today for some Rabbits as it was his day off, as the field is nearer him than me i said i would meet him at 0600. I arrived a few minutes early and Alan was hot on my heels, we had to park at the top gate, Alan B who normally comes with us had something else to do, and he has the key to the gate. we got our tackle together and off we went down the path only getting about 10 yards on when Alan spotted a Rabbit near a puddle of water. I stood back with the camera running hoping to catch him shooting it, but the path is very gravely and it m

When you see anything on the news when someone as been shot, like man went on rampage killing 4 people, they never tell you whether the gun was held illegally, but no matter we'll still call for a total gun ban: Dave

Although it costs me a fare bit in fuel a month, i do have fringe benefits, when all the Veggies are ready at different time of year i am allowed to take what ever i want within reason. This included spuds, and rhubarb also, so you see i get the meat and 4 veg, and the pudding, at the present prices and may i say that there will be rises mark my words, i do save on that part of the deal: Dave

if you READ my comment on "dont kill them they have leverets to feed" you will see that it ended with coursing for lurcher lads IN WINTER! I wasn't aiming the post directly at you mate although your leveret bit did stick in my mind. The facts are if there a pest in the area then they need controlled. And if they are a pest that would mean there were sufficient numbers too. if there were sufficient numbers do you not think the farm would not try to make money out of it, the same with rabbits Plenty people do!!! if pests are in plauge proportions then they either pay for getting rid o
