Shotgun Mike

the cages work well on cubs and urban foxes. if your after the adults the traditional things like shooting, snaring etc. Mike

Opinions on the best choice for a working gun? Thanks

Mine seem to get this during the summer, usually a thinning of most of the fur on the body as if it is a summer moult.

I have a 'nest' with eggs in one side and an egg on top and a dead rabbit in the otherside. Works pretty well.

Watch out for the springy piece of metal that should have come out with the trigger block, its a real ****** to get back in.

I was out this early this morning over drilled barley and shot 7 rooks, 3 jackdaws and 1 crow. I was only using the single camo net but with a fairly thick shrub behind me, the gun had no camo on it either. As long as you sit perfectly still until they are quite close (20 yds or so) then stick your barrels over the net you can take them as they turn away. Although I had some that didn't spot me and were just looking at the deeks.

Looks very nice BTMS. How does it work out with your FLO?

Corvids won't usually land close to a pattern of decoys so I find it easier to take them with the shotgun.

I agree with Cranfield on the point of them breeding for most of the year as I shot one or two young ones in January. I will shoot pigeons all year for crop protection.

Which club are you in pike? Im Ashdon and Saffron Walden (Essex)

Has any one got any ideas for shotgun slings apart from drilling both ends?

£1.50 plucked and gutted, 18p for the bird.

Im out with the Essex on Saturday. Have fun everyone and keep an eye out for the anti's, you will probably have to look very hard.
