Thats very cheap How many guns please?

NFU ?

What time are you checking them at night ? Are they being killed before they go up to roost or during the night ? Gos has been killing a few of ours and daft as it sounds leaves very little mark - until it eats them - i know because i actually saw it On second thoughts If there is no mark on them - and you have thoroughly plucked them - i suggest taking to a vet Maybe they are not been killed but are just dying Pray its not avian flu

Sorry to hear Take care

If he is sleeping ok - it may be a vet can sort him out for you

I think a horse has to eat about 10 or 20 percent of its weight to harmed ? Ragwort is very valuable for wildlife though i do understand peoples concerns

Please keep it going

Great stuff See if the farmer will knock that balsam over - another invasive species nearly as bad as the squirrels !

I thought we had stopped this To keep trying to justify it surely must even tell you something about the ethics of it I am actually probably a younger chap and have a syndicate of many ages featuring many teens and mid twenties. It is things like 20/30 ducks each a drive that will end shooting As i said before - i feel sorry for you

Sorry to hear this Keep your chin up best you can

Isnt that the truth !

I get that - but equally cut your cloth accordingly - and in my opinion- yes my opinion so you can quote me - dont just shoot ducks as a replacement for pheasant - They are not alike - reared ducks fly round and round and round - if they will fly - sad to see in so many cases. Pheasants are over and gone But the one point i do concede is this is a selling thread and i apologise for disrupting that.

It really isnt

Nothing to do with me If reared duck is your idea of shooting poor you

I think the release of mallard hinders the wild populations - in my opinion as they are far "tamer" they are less likely to be disturbed from ponds and eat more of the food available - they tend to bully the wild population and indeed stop them breeding. As is widely accepted - maybe not by you however - released ducks taking breeding space from wild ducks do not make great parents either and so the spiral continues. Anyone shooting birds at 80/90 yards should be asked to slip there gun and never return - whether that is a pigeon, a crow or a mallard.

I feel sorry for you - so a gentle bite back Luckily i do have a digger and the fuel Luckily i have dug over 20 ponds Luckily my duck tubes are circa at 50 percent occupany and i have over 40 up Luckily i only want to flight them for our beaters and helpers 5/6 times a year and shoot 20 ish or enough for a brace a man Luckily i dont mind waiting "till next season" and seeing the fruits of my labours blossom Luckily the habitat i have provided allows plenty of nesting cover Luckily i am out 5/6 nights a weeks controlling foxes / and everyday corvids Luckily i have hundreds and hundreds of wild ducks And finally luckily i would rather not shoot duck at all if the only option is reared duck ! Naive Rant over

Better off improving your pond - putting u a few duck tubes They breed like rabbits and better for everything else too

The real advantage of the accolade is no eye strain - black out so you can keep scanning for hours on end Having had both there is no comparison - accolades are amazing

Wasnt the buzzard but the Gos ! What a beautiful but brutal bird Also caught a fox on the camera trap with a couple in her mouth Met her end the nigh after thankfully

It is a young one

Tawny Owl 100 percent

Caught one on the trailcam last night taking poults that were out jugging Wont take any tonight

Canada geese at 40 yards - with a 410 ? Really ?

Many thanks
