    I shot a few foxes during harvest with 50g 3" No. 1 lead and it cycled them fine.....in fact it ejected them about half a mile
  2. Ratsmasher
    healthy looking foxes

    Well if it works for you then fair enough and as I said im no expert, but for me it would be too open because I roost shoot and flight as well as decoy so sometimes the ranges would be too far for an open choke. But im also of the opinion that its better to fill a pigeon with lead as cause wastage (I'll add at this stage that the only things that shoot and dont eat are rats foxes and crows and I hate to waste) then to prick and wound birds.

    7's don't have enough velocity to justify 3/4 choke 6's or 5's do but I use 1/4 and 1/2 mostly. I'm no expert but that doesnt sound right, and anyway I didn't say it in the first place, I always go No. 6 for pigeons, I was just suggesting why he might have said it IMO As long as your not using full choke or cylinder, and your shooting between 28g 7.5s and 32g 5s and your sensible about you and your guns limitations then you cant go wrong

    7s will give a denser pattern but 6s are better in popular opinion

    get down your local RFD preferably with a knowledgeable friend just so you don't get had and they will sort you out

    brinded nets look good, although I havent dealt with them personally

    your certainly not wrong about them causing damage to wildlife forget all this rubbish about lead shot and rat poison killing songbirds in the UK they should just ban cats
  10. Ratsmasher
    well thats the end of that theory then

    Maybe you could ask him about roost shooting - then you could set up in the morning and be sen to be trying then up sticks at 2 o clock and go and roost shoot? unless there is a shoot on the land
  15. Ratsmasher
    likelyhood is that the farmer has asked him to set up where the damage is being caused - and the pigeons are going to feed where they want to no matter how good your pattern is

    Hello everyone couldn't find anything about it on the search, so sorry if its been done before I basically need another long net for my ferreting, 50 yards and im planning to buy 100 yards of sheet netting and put it onto my own top and bottom lines and poles, and I wasnt sure whether 4oz would be suitable or whether i should spend the extra tenner for 6oz. My main concerns are with it picking up more debris then a 6oz and the durability of the lighter netting. thanks Ratty

    morning everyone first i'd better apologise because im sure this topic has been done to death, but couldn't find exactly what im looking for on the search. Basically I've just got my first ferrets, two 16 week old jills, very lively have been hand-reared, and so are pretty good biting wise, but one does like to have the occasional nibble not particularly hard, just putting her mouth around the end of my finger really). Ive tryed giving her a tap on the nose, but she then tries to bite even more, will this just stop in time because I handle them twice a day for about 10 minutes. another thoug

    ideal would be 32g 5s but 28g 6s you would be fine with as long as you show restraint with regards to range Ratty
