  1. Tie a piece of cloth onto the bait spike and then rub peanut butter into itπŸ‘
  2. Think it's a very old conger eel hook, conger eels are renowned for spinning when caught and the eye of the hook was made like a swivel to allow the spin without throwing the hook. I think the hook shank was made very long to prevent it being completely swallowed so the eel couldn't bite through the fishing line.
  3. Talking about shooting somebody's dog is not the best way to start a conversation I completely agree. A dog can only be shot if actively worrying livestock, it cant be shot just in case it does.
  4. I frequently have issues with dogs off the lead especially this time of the year where I work. The problem is simply that we as the land managers and the surrounding wildlife don't know which dogs are well behaved and will stay at heel and recall if needed. The main problem is other dog walkers see dogs off the lead and will regardless of how well behaved their dog is will let theirs off, so it is a case of following by example and one rule for all. I don't think it's wrong at all to question why a dog is off lead, and unfortunately it maybe useful to remind some people of the consequences.
  5. As you well know it's all about shot placement and the shooters compitence. Your not going to kill a goose if you shot it in the **** with a 243, however a single shotgun #3 pellet to the skull will.
  6. I no expert nor ever owned a gas ram so hopefully somebody with more knowledge will help. I know the HW90 uses a Theoben gas ram and I just assumed that they were identical.
  7. I don't know but is it worth looking up HW90 for possible parts and diagrams? https://spares.bagnallandkirkwood.co.uk/weihrauch/weihrauch-hw90-spare-parts-2/
  8. Don't know if it complicates matters but I guess your gun is FAC and subsequently what parts of the pressure system are covered under that ?
  9. No issue at all so long as you can create a backstop by putting yourself in a suitable position, shoot from an elevated position and the ground becomes the backstop. Look at how foxes are shot in urban surroundings from upstairs bedrooms etc. Shooting from the same level as the geese with no backstop obviously not safe. 22lr subs head shots only at 60-70yrds in my experience, 17hmr chest shots out to 85yrds. I'm sure other will have their own opinions but for me this works. If noise isn't an issue I would choose HMR, your never going to shoot more than a couple each session even with sub 22's as the impact noise alone will scare them off.
  10. Just what I was thinking, not that that's a bad thing.
  11. The original advert before it was edited was along the lines of "Gun for sale, pictures later" and that was it, why not wait until the pictures, price, caliber, and what is included in the sale could be provided?
  12. "However, it is very clear that he is spending money on a scale quite out of the reach of any 'normal' farmer " Your not wrong, Β£25k for two chicken huts with 50 chickens, that's a lot of eggs to sell to (excuse the pun) recoupe the outlay!! It is amazing why people still farm in this country with all the problems associated around it but thank God they do.
  13. No because it can be used in a non FAC gun, don't forget only the silencer registered with your FAC airgun can be used on that gun.
