Neal 1,784 Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 I've had two in the last week, though it was the kelpies rather my aim that got them. They have different approaches. Noggin tries to live retrieve them while Ned shakes like mad to break the neck and then repeatedly crunches their heads until he gets bored. He was bitten by one last year so now he takes no prisoners. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
big napper 3,559 Posted January 20, 2021 Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 Nice one pal, bet they must be awkward to get with a catapult Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tatsblisters 7,915 Posted January 20, 2021 Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 Good shooting Mr Wilkes . The woods near me are crawling with them an hour and half walk around them is not unusual to see high double figures i find it a right buzz to knock one out of a tree with something as basic as a catapult and a steel or lead ball more so than with an air rifle with scope's on. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Neal 1,784 Posted January 20, 2021 Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 I can remember an air rifle being kept in a cupboard in the kitchen alongside the hoover. Well, I say hoover but it was actually one of those push along ones which wasn't plugged in. This was back in the 70s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
