Old farrier Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 I think that many of you are missing the crucial element here. Is this suitable for .177 or .22? Only at over 738 yards 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 Only at over 738 yards Oh God, are we up to 738 now, I could manage 700, but that is just too far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stonepark Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Would you want to remove Boar, fallow, Muntjac, Sika and CWD then. Boar are native...... just were wiped out by farmers to protect domesticated pigs, just like wolves and sheep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 So you see a wallaby on your permission. You have not seen one on there before. So you think you need to shoot it. Mmmmmmmm, If all else fails, read the instructions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davyo Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 It's an invasive foreign species, nice to see maybe but in the same league as grey squirrels, mitten crabs, green parakeets, signal crayfish and rabbits. Personally I think shoot and eat is the best policy. It's not a native species so we should do our utmost to remove it. Do we include the Common Pheasant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonepark Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Do we include the Common Pheasant And redlegs, lets get back to proper management of native partridge........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think shoot and eat is the best policy. It's not a native species so we should do our utmost to remove it.1. Is it causing damage to native species.2. If the answer is no, why give ammunition to antis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 If all else fails, read the instructions. Yep and again. So if the first paragraph from the first post had been omitted, then I would not have put in my last sentence the bit about shooting it. Simples the mention of using a shot gun need not have been posted if there no intention of using it. By the op or anyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savhmr Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 I wouldn't worry about shooting it.....they soon bounce back to an area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washerboy Posted January 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 I have been watching it feed for the last week. It's stripping off fallen branches . Tempted to put some extra food out for it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 (edited) That same question could easily apply to the parrots round where I live, they don't do me any harm so why would I want to kill them? Are red kites a native species? Edited January 9, 2017 by Vince Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 As long as they stay up north away from your southerns then they are save .you can have your horses in new forest We will keep the wallaby in the Peak District Yes but do you know what happens to the New Forest ponies every year? they are rounded up and sold to France for meat. You can't class them as 'in the wild' just agricultural animals in open grazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oowee Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 I will take it. PM sent. They would look great down here on the Mendips. If I had one i would feed it, pet it and tame it. Call it skippy and teach it to dance. Hip hop of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
