  9. How about he saw some of them thrashing/mobbing a song birds nest in the woods. I have the same problem myself. A pair of magpies moved in a niegbours garden. They soon discovered a birds nest with eggs/chicks in it. That was it. I am not an air-gunner, but am considering it. I'd also welcome a few bunnies each weekend !!

    USA sounds good , as does Canada. The problem is that it is so expensive to take a pig there. I think France, Poland as also as expensive. I am just fishing for ideas. I am thinking about a cheap place, like Thailand. GO TO WHITLEY BAY BUD Whitley Bay ? Where is that ?

    As many already know, wild pigs were released into the British countryside some time ago, there are several sounders of feral pigs in Kent, The Forest of Dean, Sussex and Devon. As wild creatures, I suppose they belong to no one. The state says they can be hunted, firstly with the land owners permission, and secondly, with suitable fire power- rifles. I am wondering what others think of the bow ? It is light, almost silent, cheap, and need no license. It might be illegal for hunting purposes in the UK, but it is allowed in France, Poland, Turkey and others countries. Has anyone be
