it was raining quite heavy last night so decided to check on a magpie roost,it was about 9.30 when i ventured out and it wasnt long before i thought to myself"bloody idiot" any way the cloud cover was perfect for roost shooting and the 1st wood presented me with a lovely wood-pigeon which dropped without as much as a flap .i jammed it in the fork of a tree to collect on way back and went deeper into the wood ,woodies were every where and started taking off my aim was to find the magpies so i left a few easy pigeons and walked on .right at the edge of the wood i could hear them chattering so

just been on a ratting invite usingsmokers and it was great sport what i noticed was sometimes the rats didnt come out straight away but several miutes later they were appearing at the hole gasping for air so the other replies are correct in saying you could be killing them beforethey can bolt
-
i watched it and liked it and wouldnt fancy a scrap with that butcher fella but i did think the other fight was a set up because if iwas the same size as that other lad i would not go down that easy

sweeneytodd the pup retrieves to hand mate and gives me every thing i send it out for this pup is very food orientated and it gets treats for each retrieve i believe dogs that like there grub are easier to train thats just my opinion tho mate ps koda is a bundle of laughs when im out just for a walk

muck boots for me -
went out 1st thing this morning with aheavy frost on the ground in the hope of a few corvids down on the farm .i pulled up in the landy and walked 5 mins to what the farmer calls his tip,i knew where i might get ashot so i sneaked up to a small embankment and peered over to see a few crows scavenging so i slipped back and loaded the rapid and slowly edged up the embankment and set my scopes on a crow about 30 yds away and after controlling my breathing i was ready to take the shot anda gentle squeeze of the trigger it just let out a shallow "caw" and lay there .i never got another shot at
-
here here gadge i wouldnt either im sure you will find some where good luck
-
I'm pretty sure it is illegal to use live animals as a lure to other animals to be shot well dont tell any body and you wont get caught simple as that !
-

my kind of read that mate well done for perservering but i also tried the owl decoy to no avail what i did find really good was a ferret on a harness left to eat the remains of a rabbit give it a go and see if it works for you once again well done
