There’s plenty of chemicals used now obviously not toxic 🙄 however they kill all the bugs insects and caterpillars on the crops because people won’t buy a cabbage or cauliflower with a caterpillar in it

Back tonight, camera up and the squirrels are on it, plus you can't see the feeder from the footpath 👍 Looks like the deer may have moved the ledge? Camera will soon tell me.

Surely there is some support for Conor’s views on the forum. He has already stated opposition is limited to a minority. Perhaps the majority are in agreement with the minority and feel no need to add to the criticism Conor is receiving. It seems reasonable to me.

Are parents available to meet are they both working? was this a planned litter ? There was someone on our shoot after one many thanks Agriv8

Have a Spanish master SxS been cut down to 26”, double trigger, non ejector, about 14 1/2 lop, chokes are around 1/4 and 3/8. Located just outside Bristol. Need the space, currently on my mates ticket but he also needs the space. Rough and ready but works fine. Free to a good (or bad) home. Need it gone asap!

I have seen a proposal that pellets are made exempt (whoopee thanks for that), why would that be if they are so poisonous. No I don't know what will happen because nothing has been put into law, but I would hazard a 99% guess facilitated by BASC and the other Org's. I haven't made any outlandish statements just fact. Why do keep lying about not including expanding lead rifle ammunition in your voluntary 'transition' that virtually nobody is volunteering for. You couldn't make this train crash up in your wildest dreams.

I think it means Working Cocker Spaniel

working cocker spaniels i assume 👍

We had 2 years lockdown which in my opinion affected all, even though we didn't realise it. I started to become so un interested in just about everything. I decided to give myself a kick up the backside and get out the wife's way. I decided to take the rifle out and just sit out in the truck and watch the world go by, it was enough to kick start the interst I had before. I lost 3 really good perms, in that time of moping unfortunately.

Over the safe limit for what? Pressure? that can’t be good - I’ve shot 500 of them so far - could they be harming the gun?

Of course they are, looking at the laughable state we are in, it's the ideal time? Possibly they have had lobbyists behind the scenes working towards that?

Please find the quote. So basically you are not up to speed on policy developments but you see fit to make outlandish statements on a public forum?

I don't know but as you declare lead is toxic and needs phasing out maybe it will be, why should this lethal poison have any exemptions? BASC have recommended expanding lead rifle ammunition is phased out which the last time I looked isn't Lead Shot for Game shooting. The whole thing is a total and utter farce. Don't worry Conor you will be out of a job if Lead is banned because a huge number will give up on a bad job and those that are left won't thank you for betraying them.

Back in the day we had all sorts of toxic chemicals being lauded and used to improve food production and those suggesting that this was impacting on insects and birds were ridiculed as antis. And now we know the truth thanks to GWCT and other orgs. Rethink and unlearn. GWCT advises us to move away from lead shot so let's not be the dinosaurs that prevent a sustainable future for shooting.

Wcs?

All you have ever said was 'BASC doesn't work like that' And that Conor, isn't an answer.

Pm sent

Shame it’s not a 22!

Do you think that the use of lead airgun pellets for live quarry and target shooting will be banned thanks to BASC?

And mine most arable land is turned over and cultivated before the birds nest probably the biggest threat to wild game birds is farming practice sprays planting methods and predators not lead shot

Look like maple peas to me, one of my farms grows them for bird seed. If not, put us out of our misery!

the bolt rules it out for me as side lever is faster and smoother so a must have imo

Sorry that happened to you. We are trying to put firearms licensing on their radar in these elections so if you could consider putting the latest crop of candidate PCCs on the spot there is a website to make it easy to do so - see link below. https://basc.org.uk/pcc-contact-page/

Has any these Organisations looked at how much land in GB is actually shot over. I believe i've read somewhere 75% or there about is farmland and woodland so would it be safe to say at best 30% would actually have lead on it, and most arable land would be moved every year for drilling hence buried or mixed into the top 6", woodland it would be buried under the foliage in the fall. So in my opinion a very small risk

I have not given you any reason in this thread to post personal comments about me. Fourth time of asking. Please stop posting personal comments about me. It is unwarranted and unwelcome.
