Thats the funny thing, I have shot or had the chance to shoot, a few of things people list on their wish list but I still miss rabbit shooting, and really look forward to squirrel bashing, or ratting with a terrier :blush:

 

And hopefully most of us still feel the same fella.Even though my shooting has progressed i still miss the days of sitting in the old fellas car all night with the slugger waiting for a rat coming to the barley bait.

Yeah but how many were at 800 yards? I mean, if you can barely see your quarry with your naked eye then you're doing it all wrong old timer :lol:

 

All except the bull and the lurches were shot at a few feet . The bull was shot at about 60 yards with my .308 . The veterinary turned up with a captive bolt and a .32 pistol .As soon as he saw the bull was on his feet albeit with a broken leg he said let the stalker shoot it . He didn't want to get to close and I didn't blame him . I shot off the bi-pod and killed him instantly with a shot to the base of the neck .The vet did insist on shooting him again in the head with the .32 pistol ,proberbly to justify his bill .

same here but lamping foxes still gets the adrenalin going more than most things. Though I still have trouble sleeping before a driven day even beaters day :lol:

I have trouble sleeping after beaters days, but for all the wrong reasons!

That reminded me of another type of shooting I enjoyed, some might say the purest.

We walked through a drive on the way back to the vehicles as we did it we flushed some birds and then those same dogs retrieved them.

As a terrier owner you can only dream of having sport like that with a steady dog by your side :blush:

All the UK legal species except:

 

any grouse

Sika

Goat

Boar

 

Don't want to shoot a goat, and I do not want to shoot a boar, as I think in many places they are been overshot. Once we have a few thousand and not just a few hundred living wild I will be happy to shoot one (in the right circumstances).

To be honest I don't go out of my way to shoot stuff, I have no interest in doing the Africa thing.

 

I have now shot 4 of the 6 deer species, so I wouldn't mind shooting Sika & CWD sometime, but I am not going to pay through the nose to do it.

 

Seems a lot people who have responded want to shoot Boar, out of curiosity I just wonder what is stopping them?

 

 

 

 

Simple in my case, never had right equipment nor the finances to. :no::lol:

there must be an insult in there somewhere but i have no idea what your on about

 

Why do you take everything as an insult? I simply mean your proclamation that you know how to shoot X/Y/Z is an opinion not a fact, no insult just that your method is not automatically the way it should be done by everyone...

Calm down Ackley and take a chill pill . Just spend a little time on your PC and read some of your posts . You do seem to have the ability to get up peoples noses and raise the hair on members necks . The marquis of queens bury rules do not all ways apply .
