if your talking urban fox,then that is a different story,as they do not meet as many shooters as their country cousins and control etc is a different matter. so in the country it is not possible to be replaced quickly,as their breeding does not work to that schedule.what you may mean is that the void will be eventually filled if you wait long enough. proven fact where i shoot,shot a lot of foxes and you will be lucky to see 2,where before you tripped over them and no,i have not shot one since shooting that lot(14 months waiting time since shooting them),so not had to control them since ,as they are not a nusiance and they have not filled the void as quick as your saying,unless you have a massive fox problem,which changes the whole talking point.so is the proven fact not working on my shoot? you may get more trying to do that in summer,as the cubs are made to go their own way but,come winter time,this will not be the case.till summer time. so i shoot a fox and then next day another fox moves in quickly.wow great news for us fox shooters. al

to be fair to you billy,i have seen it before and had prior knowledge(so no need to rewind for me) of this programme and it can look decieving through a camera lens,as it happened quite quickly. did anyone else notice the 2 zz top blokes(as frenchie calls them) with that fox on the pavement,that had been run over and did i hear correctly that ,the RSPCA had given it an injection to put it out of it`s misery as it was in such poor shape,after being hit by a car. the thing i heard them say...was that the RSPCA left it there after injecting it..seems strange to do this,as the RSPCA would have seen the programme and would have defended themselves somehow i suspect. good programme and shown a before and after view on foxes but,it is a shame that the views had to be changed at the expense of 2 children. al

if people ask for foxes to be removed,who cares that it is a dominant male and prey tell how you came to that conclussion?. i think your talking about the old story about.shoot a fox and more will come to the funeral. bloke does a job and puts shooters in a good light and all can be said is negativety. al

mm..a few spuds and mmmmmmm al

this programme is a revamp and has an update tagged on it..the couple have now stopped feeding the foxes,due to the the recent events involving the 2 children. so it is an old view but,withe a new look on what people think of foxes after the attacks.. that is a very safe backstop for the shots,notice the ground was wet/angle of shot was spot on and the guy has many years of experience shooting urban foxes. we can only see through a camera lens,he can see far more and better than we can. he put shooters in a good light,so don`t knock it. al

very true and the chap in question has been doing it a long time and he showed how professional he was at his job. al

yes but,they tagged on a sort of update and views on foxes,after the attack on the 2 children. notice the couple that stopped feeding the foxes,due to the story on the attack recently. al

on more 4 at 10.05pm. looks interesting and may be worth a look. al

i had the same problem in my cz with cci..bolt was very difficult to lock down. turns out on my rifle,that the chamber needed to be reamed out and then they were fine..the other answer to it,was to not use cci and use the more pointy type bullets.like lapua,which were very good. cci did say to me that i should use their other cci bullets and not the ones i used,as they other type are a bit shorter(sorry cannot remember the ones they mentioned). al

when new it will be stiff..i was told to just sit with it(empty of course)and work the bolt..load and then unload.as it takes quite some time to become easy to use but,it will become easier..easier than firing shots to loosen the bolt. al

good luck and you may be surprised at the outcome,as most of us shooters have an habit of looking on the bleak side of things,when in fact they turn out to be the opposite. got to admit that some areas will not tell you if it is passed or not,until you have put a permission letter in.. hope it goes well. al

phone your local feo and ask them,s they will know.. as for what firearms can be used..difficult to say,case of if not passed,you will have to wait and see. al

giving up the cigs,after a heart attack in 2002..best thing that i ever did. al

i find the best person to ask is the greenkeeper.find the greenkeepers hut and seek him out. i never ask at the front desk. i have 3 shoots on golfcourses and the greenkeeper was asked everytime. al

that was funny watching it go over. i liked the fact that it was knocked and the damage was not that bad..suprised me. good viewing and shows you can have fun,without buying a supercar.. al

i`m getting there but,not quite to nick`s standard...yet getting noise out of it but,no cat or wife to test it on.. al

mine arrived today and i must say it looks good and hopefully less chance of losing it or damging it. need to learn how to use it now. the fun begins. thanks again meerside,for the great gesture and will let you know how i get on with it. atb al

i to had that problem and both are rented,so no skirting removal. i just cut some wood to the size of the bottom of the cabinet,after fixing the cabinet above the skirting. i then screwed these together,placed them under the cabinet and drilled four holes in the base of the cabinet and screwed through the cabinet base,into the wood. this has worked in both properties and feo`s were more than happy with this. i just had a visit this week from the feo,as i have moved and the cabinet was checked and using the blocks underneath the cabinet and he was happy with the wood underneath,as this prevents anyone from using a lever from under the cabinet. al

thanks wayne and look forward to trying it out. al

so are you getting a pellet in the chamber for every pull back of the bolt? if you are,then the magazine is ok(ie,indexing ok and the spring is doing it`s job). can you here a click when the bolt is pulled back? by the sounds of things,it seems to me like the gun is not cocked or you would feel it in the trigger pull. what mk is it..1 or 2? if you just bought it from a shop,as suggested above,take it back,as you may get frustrated and dump a very good gun because of this.once sorted they give trouble free shooting for a long time. :blink: al

as edited. :yp: al

open ticket=means they can shoot what caliber of rifle they deem safe to use on the land they intend to shoot on.(no land survey needed for their caliber of rifle,as it is done by the open ticket holder,who has the experience to judge the land for safe shooting etc). closed ticket=means the land needs to be passed(surveyed or checked out by the local firearms department) and passed for whatever caliber of rifle the local firearms see or think safe to use on that particular land(unless already surveyed or passed,they cannot shoot a firearms on that land). hope that helped. al
