Guest Bubbleduck Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 so far this year, place was heaving with the buggers in every tree. They don't respond to baiting either, not many left now though lol! that has got to be a record number, your trigger finger must have been sore, I thought my 35 was high as a lot of the controllers here try to beat it, I will now go off & find another day job sob cry throw my toys etc, just out of interest I see you were shooting them out of trees but were there crops near by that got them gathering or humans leaving food scraps like a picnic area, either way you are the Top Man come down here & work for me. Atb, Foxon, PS, did not go back out on the Fox it pissing down & blowing a hooley. There are houses nearby and one of them puts tons of food out for the birds. There are flocks of collared doves hanging around there as well. BTW I'm a lass lol Quote Link to post

Some say it is not very sporting to bait birds, I know the RSPB frown upon this sought of thing, but then it is quite legal to get them in a larsen & you know what happens next. Atb, foxon.

I have to admit that due to the lack of recoil and being so silent I was sceptical that it was the same power as my Airsporter... but a few pellets burried into a fence post suggested otherwise! I also tried the SAS silencer and its extremely loud compared to the logun. I think I'll keep it on permantly. I put a post on here earlier with the full story of the two magpies for you and Charlie.
