matt101 Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 i went out this morning with my airgun while i was feeding my birds and i saw a few squirells at the bottom of my garden which were eating nuts from the hazel trees.i shot three in a row in about 5 minutes and then finished feeding the birds. after going fishing down the road and catching two brown trout i saw even more squirells in the haxel trees and shot two more. since it was at the bottom of my garden and it only took about 15 minutes in all i am very pleased. me with the squirells me with a magpie that i shot at the bottom of the garden a few days ago. my birds pekin cock old dutch bantam cock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wookie Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Good job on the squirrells... We need to shoot more of them, they are true vermin and need to be culled! Ok, rant over. I just hate grey squirrells. Wookie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Master Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 (edited) Hi, Me and my Dad hate the greys as they nick all our wildbird seed and chicken, duck, geese and pheasant food. A .22 accupell sorts them out nicely though. P.S We don't keep pheasants they just hang around and eat the bird seed!

turk101 Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 Hi matt101 well nice pics mate,my dad used to keep bantams,ducks & all sorts of other birds.you must have a massive garden,he sold all his as there was to many & the avairy was not big enough in the end. Just curious as to the law regarding shooting vermin in your garden(with air rifle) is it legal? i'd imagine it is as lots of people seem to do it. Any info would be nice. turk101 mem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
