Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Need a bit of grub for the ferrets so dusted my daystste off this morning and nipped to a permission down the road. First gate I looked over there was a rabbit sat about 20 yards out. First shot, head shot. Happy days. Walked a couple more fields and saw nothing so jumped back in the motor and just as I was leaving a wood pigeon landed on some hay bales so I jumped out of the car and took my shot. About 20 yards again and dropped with a head shot. Ferrets must have been getting fed up of left over dog meat. Lol... 2 Quote Link to post

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted July 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 My missus had never even heard of eating rabbit, venison, pigeon, pheasant or hare before she got with me. She thought chicken came in packs from tesco. Lol. She eats the lot now as long as I cook it. She loves rabbit and pheasant roasted whole in red wine and I think her favourite is my rabbit and Stilton pie. 2 Quote Link to post

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted July 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Out of interest what pellets do you lads reccomend for rabbit and pigeon? These have been spot on what I'm using but not a clue what they are. Just in a plain tin. I've had them for years. Air rifle is Daystate X2 Sports in .22. Quote Link to post
random 659 Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Well worth popping out for that is,i take the breast off before the ferrets get a look as well,too good to give away and there's plenty left on one anyway,for the pellet question id say light dome head as they seem to be good whatever you put them through,h& n ftt,accupell Superdome sort of thing,jsb and air arms are apparently good as well,some will be better than others depending on your barrel...
