Never got past their sweet tushes mmmmm

Which legislation would they come under then ? ++ = > Deer are wild animals (unless part of a farmed herd), so are not covered by that legislation.

So far as I can make out ? >> The Highways Agency is responsible for "removing" and disposing of injured or dead creatures from the roads. but > If the 'creature' is a wild animal, that is, defined as any animal not "kept" by a human, so squirrels, rabbits, pheasants, hares and badgers are probably 'safe' to collect and 'use'; assuming they not suspected of having an infectious disease. however> The most relevant regulation is the EU Animal By-Products Regulation. So, animals that are owned, however, must be disposed of according to EU rules - which usually means they have to be processed and incinerated. This includes pets, circus animals, and farm animals. It would, therefore, not be legal to eat them.

If memory serves - The persons "using" the footpath/bridal way/road MUST USE IT - i.e. keep moving -- on your part -- you MUST NOT imped their progress ... (precedent case law) If you are "using" the footpath/bridal way/road then you have to follow the 'rules' ; covered/unloaded gun.(Firearms Acts etc.) If you are "using the land", then use it wisely .... if you shoot across or walk across the 'rights of Way'

I use a cell about a foot square to top up my electric fence on the pen.. you NEED some form of 'control' .. I have used this one for 5 years with no problems = http://www.selectronic.fr/article.asp?article_ref_entier=11.1420-9999 you will see that it has inputs for 2 12v solar cells - to charge a car battery you really need 15+ volts - that is a VERY bright sunny day - and you've missed it for this year you will notice ; if you search the site - that a 12volt 60watt solar cell costs 490,00 € :o that's a dim headlamp bulb you will NEVER get your money back !! only a 'helping hand' to keep your battery topped up >> buying a second battery and swapping them over is a far better bet, "like wat I do", with my lowish cost cell the battery last about 8 weeks. ( PS - the Maplin ones are short lived )

Skunk - it looks like a fat ferret that's been 'reassigned'

probably here ---> http://www.pelapapas.com.mx/htmls/capturar_palomas_en.html

neat solution

pop down to Maplins - (on line ? ) they do just the thing you need .......

I use the bottom 3 inches of the tubs that cattle/sheep feed comes in .. 12 > 15 inches across - VERY SAFE to recyle ( oh - you have to cut it off yourself , I use folding garden saw / keep the cutting angle shallow or it shatters )

This years birds are to wood and doing well. We are still 'looking' for someone and their dog - Please PM as soon as possible

Out of interest - my wife's Certificate is "the same" as mine = i.e. she OWNS the guns listed on it = I also OWN the SAME shotguns that listed on mine simples also - our three Certs. are all "co-terminus" ( that inc. my FAC on same date keeps cost down ) reason = if she carries any of 'our' guns in person or in a car - she is 'covered - (and in the untimely death of either of us - we are 'covered' :blink: )

Nestle Condensed Milk butties - dipped in the sugar bowl -- then a Robertson's thick cut marmalade one - - heaven -- You had to collect (10 of the paper one's I think) of the Golliwogs off Golden Shred Marmalade jar to get a metal badge one.

a quick web search of images show them both likely to be boxlocks Sidelocks look like this =

as above - usually they have a "coating" of white on them after a frost or two (no - not the frost!) that makes them change from shiny black to a dull grey ... 2 lb sloes - pricked or burst 2 lb sugar 2 bottle vodka (better than gin - really) all into a wine making 2 1/2 litre 'Winchester' - shaken everyday till the sugar has dissolved - then left in warm/dark place for 2 months

this may be a clue as to it's origin - Wild rabbits moult twice a year. Many moulting rabbits have a noticeable "tide mark", and if you blow into the fur at the moult line the skin appears dark in colour where the new hairs are growing through. just a thought

Aigle Parcours - 3 types 1 = plain summer wellies 2 = Vario - side gussets for "big boys" 3 = iso - neoprene winter wellies you will never look back they seem to last for ages - 10 year !! and are designed for 'walking' in - very comfy and great grip in ice / mud etc. If you feel like pushing the boat out - look at Le Chameau Chasseur Boots

There's plenty around Parkgate / Gayton Sands area -- looks like this It would go well with one of these If you know how to catch one

Maybe help -- wipe the wax of any sub-sonic rounds - Winchester used to 'stick' in mine.. or better still - use "full" rounds and a moderator .. and as above keep it CLEAN ! tiz a great bunny bashing carbine, faultless using the EAGLE 2230 (30 round magazine)

Sounds like your LONG RANGE shots are a bit TOO long range - and the round is tumbling (head over tail - not spinning round) The tip is to assist the round to 'mushroom' thereby releasing it's energy to cause 'trauma' and death QUICKLY. Get closer ! ! ! and I agree - I don't want to see blood and gore - I am sure others don't either -
