It would only need to be done once, just as a warning!
I threw a tin of beans at one once. It just bounced off the topsides.
The intention was there but I think a good torpedoing would send more of a message.

No but, again from what I hear, UK boats seldom venture into "French waters" (some of which are UK territorial waters) to avoid conflict
Well that and because the French have fished them to oblivion.
Why do you think they want to be in our waters?
We actually have some fish!
The Spaniards are just as bad.
All of our inshore fleet should be fitted with torpedos so when one of those big ****** trawls through your gear within a mile of our coastline you can legally sink the ******.

Always get the gloss you can knock the finish back to how you want.
You can knock back gloss varnish with fine wire wool and it looks really nice.
Personally I use pure Tung oil for stuff like this. Those pieces will pull it in like hell though so be prepared to apply plenty of coats.
I also sometimes wax over the top with a mixture of beeswax, carnauba and tung oil to finish.

Sorry I must have missed that whilst dodging the wildly flailing handbags 🙄
Haha!!
Mines got a really heavy purse full of coppers in it.
You wouldn't want it 'round your lughole.

Just a note on a point nobody has picked up on. It is illegal to "take" a game bird outside of its defined season which, as well as lethal methods, includes trapping.
Due to the amount of knickers which seem to have found themselves in a rather twisted state as this topic has progressed, I think it's quite futile to add any fresh opinion on the original subject!
That was mentioned within the first few replies and Gas seal mentioned it a page ago.

But you don't HAVE to do that either,,,, 🤔 Why not just leave them alone in your gardens, or do the 'dirty deed' and don't tell everybody on t'internet 👋
There is nothing "Dirty" about it. If there is then all of our shooting is dirty.
I shoot them in my garden and around the farm with my rimfire for two reasons, one. They taste good. 2, they eat my bloody veg. They are worse than Pigeons.

There’s a slight difference going out enjoying a days sporting shooting giving the birds a fair chance than shooting game birds on the ground in your garden, why not encourage this guy to pop off the songbirds as well?
Because that would be illegal.
There is no reason why he can't shoot gamebirds in his back garden if he wants.
Personally I'd trap them and ring their necks like Rimfire says. Way more efficient. Annoyed I haven't thought to do that before.

Can you not just enjoy seeing the game birds in your garden, just because you own a gun you don’t have to kill everything you see 🤬
Can't you just enjoy seeing gamebirds in the woods instead of having 20 people drive them to a line of guns?
Just because you own a gun you don't have to kill everything you see.

Probably someone who asks PW a question 😂😂😊😊
Fair enough 👍😊
Now you know you can go and wilfully blaze away at them before they leave the ground! Enjoy.

Agree. I was taken on a turkey hunt down in Texas and as long as you sat still they would walk right up to you. The CANNON I was loaned would have been over the top for goose shooting on the wash. I was not ungrateful for the opportunity obviously and tried my best to show how I had enjoyed it. On a couple of occasions when down there I saw them flushed from a ridge and that would be slightly better fun.
I have watched a few vids of Turkey shooting in the US and have always wondered why they enjoy it so much. No different to shooting pheasants with an airgun in your back garden!
I asked once why they don't just use a rifle and apparently in a lot of states that's illegal.

Wikipedia is not the law.
Can you find the act or law that makes that statement fact?
It's not even credited in the references for that article.
It's total toss.
You can shoot game birds on the ground.
-
It's not illegal. Doesn't matter about being "Sporting" or not.
Personally I'd prefer to head shoot with an airgun, you'll get less meat damage.

Should have been using tear gas and rubber bullets. Terrible thing putting a dog in harms way like that.

Iove pickled eggs. My mum used to make them when my old man had 30 or so banties.
Same "Recipe" as Ditchman.
Trouble is they give me huge amounts of toxic farts. Imagine a Sulphur mine next to a maggot farm, down the road from a sewage plant.
Great if the inlaws are visiting and you want rid of them sharpish but not great in polite company.

You grind it to fine, I use the plate with the largest holes for game meat.
No need to mix in other meat or fat either, for seasoning and binding just add a bit of salt, let the ground meat rest for a bit and then press it in a burger press, the harder the better. No good burger press? Then go get one...
Season the burger with a bit of pepper when frying them and don't cook them for too long, keep them pink in the middle.

This is how I do it.

I must be the exception to the rule. I'm super intelligent AND practical.
Last week I describe Pi to a million decimals for a laugh then I built a small frigate out of old fosters cans and a Fiat Panda engine and then I made a 98% effective vaccine for Corona virus out of stuff from under the sink.

There is a torture test on YouTube of a fella getting a selection of pump guns wet muddy and sandy.
The one he hates as cheap junk turned out to be the most reliable and worked when all others failed. It either a Mossberg or Remington can't remember which. The video is well worth a watch.

Think we are moving away from the OP, so perhaps it's best to put this one to bed.
1 hour ago, Graham M said:Absolutely correct. A deer should be completely unaware of what is happening until it gets hit by what is basically the hammer of Thor. If the shot has been taken carefully it will drop on the spot, or at worst run for a few yds and then drop.
I have found that most of the deer than run for hundreds of yds are the ones shot by shooters with too much adrenalin flowing and a bit of a tremble. Surely it's better to stalk slowly and then settle yourself for that all important shot, rather than work yourself up into a state where you need to get the shot off regardless.
I have watched deer move off rather than take a shot where my heart rate was up and the crosshairs were all over the place.
I think this is the problem. Some shooters have paid for a stalk and are determined to shoot something even if the shot isn't really on, only to find that for a couple of extra minutes they would have either had a deer move off, or a great shot to remember.
Yep.

according too them it was a bad shot before why was that not on video, your quarry should have a sporting chance and that video proved it was NOT humane
You'd have to ask them why they didn't video it.
No. You shouldn't give your quarry a sporting chance. I assume you would like telescopic sights banned? Firearms?
You would prefer to run your quarry down on foot and punch it to death?
Have your say on complete lead ammunition ban
in General Shooting Matters
Posted · Edited by ClemFandango
Personally I'd accept an all out ban on lead.
I already shoot non-lead in my big rifle
I use Steel and Tungsten in my shotguns
and I use tin pellets in my airgun.
I've yet to find a good alternative for the .22lr. I'll be sad to lose it but it will be worth it if all of the ******** posted on here and other forums stops.
by and large the non-lead alternatives work and are viable. People are just too pig headed to accept them.
If people start using them my hope is that they will actually realise that it's not as bad as they have been told or convinced themselves and maybe the total ******** spouted in the non-lead threads on internet forums will be reduced.
That said. There is also reams and reams of ******** on lead ammo so maybe that's unlikely.
Also BASC will have to stop grandstanding about it. Claiming victories that aren't theirs and generally taking the **** out of their members.
