While roost shooting pigeons yesterday , two came running towards me . Shot one head on , the other raced off 10yds but then stopped on a stump to see what had happened. Shot him too. Good old BSA Scorpion. SE. 662.

So , where do they want us to go with cutting emissions. And saving the earth. Electric cars, charged from where ? No flying ,except in hot air balloons . No meat production/consumption . So empty fields , (no Animals/livestock ) just crops. Compulsory contraception , (all religious constraints on this banned?). Non recyclable, Plastic production banned . There is an old saying ," We don't own this world , we just borrow it from the next generation". Every species is designed to propagate , and as we all know , if one species over runs the others and its environment , its signs its own extinction certificate. As will we .

JD , If you liked archery , have a look for your local Field Archery club, through the NFAS , website. There will be a club near to you . Instead of just shooting arrows at round targets , field archery is 'simulated hunting' which takes place in woodland. All types of bows are used including 'crossbows' , (not compound crossbows). Targets are usually 3d replicas of animals , so you could find yourself shooting at anything from a meer cat to a moose , or velocaraptor.. Its not expensive either. Most club competitions shooting 40 targets on a Sunday cost £7.00 , for an entry fee . That's all day for £7.00. With nice folk. Be warned ! i=Its highly addictive . PM me if you want any info.

Dog fox and a Vixen this evening . 187

I can help , most nights . If you need a hand. Open ticket , and NV.

2 Jays on the bird tables Saturday.

I got up 5.30 am on Saturday to get hidden in the shed overlooking the bird feeders, I didnt have to wait long, and the Grey's turned up at first light. I bagged all three , and two Jays that were raiding the feeders .Good old Scorpion SE .22. 636

Good heavens 22 ! I have not seen 22 in the last two years, and I have half of Cheshire to shoot on . So jealous! !Empty freezer!

Our two trail cameras have captured three at first break of daylight , on the bird tables and feeders . But, nothing when we are there. The clever little beggars have learned when we are not about and adapted their feeding times.. So I put some fatballs in a live trap and bingo one each morning. It didn't feel very 'sporting' when dispatching them though!

1 today in a 'live trap' , dispatched . 402

Spring powered air rifle will do everything you require it to . pcp's will do the same but just much easier. There are also new pre charged rifles appearing all the time. A friend has just bought a Krall NP02 . Now I can hear the nay sayer's already! And to be honest I was ready to be 'scathing' before I saw it and shot it. But , it really is quite good , and, comes with, 2 ten shot mags , side lever cocking, adjustable power .adjustable but pad . 200 plus shots from a fill , In a hard case for under £320. Now that's value. Some of the guns mentioned , have been around for donkeys years. And are very good, quality and accurate . But, have a good look around before you spend your cash.

Mine too, its a twelve by eight shed. 18 yds from the feeder.

Love mine too. HW95K .22 . Walther Terrus. 177. Walther LGU .177. The Terrus is very underrated .

I set a trail camera over Saturday night , and yes they are on the feeders , but not when they used to be. Now its early am , from 7.10 onward . Squirrels , pigeons and crows . Next Saturday morning we shall meet.
