Ok so what did i miss? Rogue male always gets a mention on any reading threads so i got a copy for my hols, i won't spoil anything but i liked the start and end, but nothing in-between?? Is it an age thing, obviously its an old book but normally a book of this size would be a quick read but i was actually putting off finishing it?
first blood is a similar story ish and a book I've read a few times, and will read again , rogue male though will be heading for the charity shop.

just spilt my brew?? I'd have picked it up and put it back not knowing what it was.

If you change your mind im heading to norwich in a couple of weeks time, could bring it down with me.
What a tease ??
probably a waste of time ditchy but have a look around the car boot sales you never know what might show up.

perhaps it was saying run away there is a bloke with a gun, have you not watched peter rabbit, although peter rabbits squirrel friends are reds ?

I did look nice as well
is that a typo or are you saying that you were there? It does ring a bell as well.
I was quite enjoying the would you take the shot thread, seems all those with vast years of experience have just decided its funny??

It could well be a unicorn?? No picture ?

we supply to airbus and were warned before the vote that airbus would look at taking there work out of the UK if the vote wasn't remain, if they could get the level of quality done cheaper in France then they would already have taken the work elsewhere.

worth having a look at traps as well, I prefer live catch in the garden, if your neighbours aren't playing ball sling the dead rats back over there side.

Dave, walker570 is using the same rifle with a pump, and said in a post this week he's pushing 78. Few quid on a pump and your sorted.

If you think Horsefly bites are painful you want to try a stab from a Scorpion
If there is one about chances are TT will be the one who gets stabbed.

Another thought hamster, have you tried baiting the rats to a spot that suits you? You could get yourself a fishing catapult and load an area up with sweet corn or casters, might give you more chance of shots?

Knew it wouldn't take long for my suitability at holding an FAC was questioned. Feel free to contact my FEO so you can tell him I took a photograph of a rabbit with a pub in the background.
I didn't take the shot, as it happens, I stalked round and shot it from a different direction.
Was hoping for more reasoned discussion but then I should have known from this forum that the drama queens about the loudest
Always going to get that, I'm just glad no one said yes why not.

seems to be the answer to everything these days turn the other cheek, and have some scrote whack you from behind?? I can see how a head butt sounds bad, but also shows how in your face he must have been.
-
never shot the caliber but I would think no, shooting in the direction of people is always going to be a bad idea.

We keep a very firm check on greys in the immediate area and trap and shoot all the year round. As a result, there are generally never very few about. Getting 10 to 15 greys in a month is a high score, 5 to 8 is more common.
I am back from a short holiday and suddenly we are catching/shooting large numbers of greys all around. I have had 22 in 10days, my colleague has 28. They are nearly all adult, very few juveniles. They are fairly easily trapped and we are getting them in woodland and houses with a lot of mature trees. We are not getting them in the suburban houses with bird feeders that have previously been are main catching spots.
I have heard that colleagues covering other villages nearby are experiencing the same explosion of greys. Has anyone any idea why this is happenings? One idea is that we have had 6 weeks of very hot weather and a lot of the becks and rivers were drying up and possibly greys were now able to travel further distances from F.C. woods in search of food.
in the meantime, we have now got every trap out, in the hope of getting as many as we can before the natural food appears.
certainly seems a strange one to get such large numbers suddenly traveling into your areas. Do you think their coming from an area that isn't shot or trapped on? Is there a lot of forestry work going on which may have driven them out? 50 squirrels between just two of you seems a lot of squirrels on the move.

Nobody really cares I know, but I just wanted to say that since the format changed I hardly ever use this forum now. I used to be an avid poster but just find its current format user unfriendly so click on and usually go no further. I find the likes of AirgunBBS much more agreeable and easy to navigate. There, I've said it
I'm sure if you were used to the old style it is strange, but it's lots easier now to post pictures, you have missed some great threads such as walkers knife auction and the making of it, with lots of pictures banter and stitches.
I'm on a couple of other sites but find PW much easier to use and find things.
Quite a few folk disappeared with the update, but some have come back.

you be careful walker, with your recent adventures you will be shooting the windscreen ??

Do you need a reason in Scotland? If so and you shoot clays ask them to put up a target and use it with your lads as you say. Considering how much money Scotland makes from shooting restrictions on seems crazy.
-
have a look on the bay for the pellet samples you can get, I can't see you having problems with chest shots looking at your accuracy. Those bisley mags will probably go in at the chest and out the back end some place. They might flip about but they are going to be dead.
I was shown some pics a while ago of rats shot with a .17 hmr and they had big nasty holes in them despite the rats being small soft targets.
-
what fps are you getting then? Is it possible your going to quick? I would think that the barracudas and bisley mags make a great mess of the rats though at 32fp

The magpie has probably got young that are just about to fledge and thought the crow was up to no good ?
