It quoted 2 things Believe me - i dont want an argument either You stated - "mainly ..... "That is not an odd speculative shot

Grow up You are shooting - no wounding live animals - get a mentor or another hobby the way you seem to treat things is appalling

Yes - but i sent you guys the response from the parliamentary one Thinking about it - you had it on the website because i sent the manifesto from there

And to be honest thats not good either - "mainly frustration 60 yard shots" You should get a mentor

Just google him and its on his website mate

Thanks Conor And i know you guys are doig your best but to still not have the email of Toby Perkins - who was the shadow for rural affairs seems .. well unfortunate ?

Me too ! Im out on the crows in the morning at 4am - We decoy them in and 25 yards is a "long" shot - but we have issues with the neighbours and perhaps rightly so - They also complain about the crows ! Would we be able to buy some from the OP i wonder ? @Watch Hill

Good to hear ! Excuse the pun May i ask what cartridges they are please ? We shoot a lot of crows - usually at very very anti social hours

# Are you defo turning it off mate - sounds daft but had mine on standby a few times rather than off Always worth carrying a spare battery too !

No need to apologise to me mate - you are the want wanting ideas on how to raise money

Ours have bred really really well this year - with a lot of help Duck tubes - meal worms - chick food - predator control Literally have hundreds - very very happy

You disrespect your quarry - "targets for us" - sad

Sent last night for Conservative candidate Good man he is

Conservative emailed straight back Wont sign the manifesto as he says he prefers to use his own words States he has visited shoots - which he has - and if re-elected will try and help more and support shooting and conservation further All good Got my shoot friends and colleagues on it too Circa 100 asked to respond tonight - all in various constituencies

You guys maybe know more than me but its the same on some of their homepages Just looked as i type and an update has happened so a few more of mine are contactable but you now have the MPs name wrong for Labour Conor Will PM you

Fair enough but for some of the candidates email addresses to be not up to date seems a bit odd My local MP is the shadow for nature and rural affairs and we dont have his email on there

No problem Conor I have lots from our shoot ready to engage - just a bit puzzled why its so hard for you guys to get the email addresses on there

Good shooting ! Look a good size those 2

Hello Yellow Bear - i have not had anything back yet - although i have only contacted Ben - because the Link to Toby and indeed any of the others is not up yet I have had Toby, Lee and Ben all visit though - i think all found it worthwhile

Thanks Smudger Any thoughts on Tungsten or copper coated shot

Thanks Konor

Morning Konor Post on the new thread - then in fairness we are not spoiling Conors post - but yes i do agree - force feed enough water and they will die too

As below from Windswept Also if its harder and does not break down in lead but stays in the gizzard - long term will this mean birds cant eat as much (enough) or get other grit in there for vitamins and minerals ? But i wonder how we know / quantify too much ? We aet magnesium / calcium / potassium and so it goes on - but in tiny doses If a duck - that can live for 20 years has been eating steel - how much may ot have in its muscles / flesh / bones ?

Chaps Thoughts please - and i know some have commented on another thread - about the potential for steel shot to be ingested by birds - ground down slowly in the gizzard but then end up ultimately in the meat - potentially causing issues for animals and mammals eating it Studies found only seem to have monitored ducks for 30 days which seems no time at all - this also used lead and the ducks died quickly - hence the chance of them ever entering the food chain is slim if still not good

Sorry for taking off topic lads - i will set up a new page and if anyone ants to discuss further lets please try and keep things civil I hope that does not come across as condescending as thats not my intention and i am really interested in peoples thoughts
