decroyffe Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 very good, i like. while you've got the .22 out kill this topic. That's a very good a positive idea Maldwyn, really what should have been said to start with, thank you. far better and more productive than someone with nothing to say, so they post a yellow icon because that's the best they've got. regards kieran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandersj89 Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 If you have Greys in such numbers that they are proving to be a nuisance and causing economic loss then can I suggest that: a. You inform the Game Conservancy Trust so they can come around to learn what is be done right to boost the population. (I have never heard or referred to Greys as a pest, their numbers are too low in most of the country.) b. Suggest that you talk to land owner and try and educate him in the ways of the Grey (English Gentleman). They are not a pest that should be treated in such a way. My family are farmers, have been for generations. I have never shot a Grey, and never will until such time as their population is sustainable. We struggle to maintain the correct conditions for a covey or two on the farm, and that is with adding beetle banks, not cultivating field boundaries, controlling foxes 52 weeks a year, being careful when cutting hay, etc..... Please dont shoot them, they are a rare resource that needs looking after. All in my humble opinion. Best regards Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edd Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 netting grey partrides iv heard it all now ( im sorry but that is totally a great way to treat game( not) get the game con to come out and they will trap the birds humanely and move them quite happily as their not in a great population in the country ( maybe you do have lots in your area, but we together are not looking for your area its about the whole population, learn about game and treat game as game AND NEVER GAME AS VERMIN) i sugest you learn! rant over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digger Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 ive got plenty to say but having read the tripe you have posted i know it will be a waste of time.so you are the only one who sees that its not just black and white ? did i say id never broken the law ? no,but i dont post it on a forum that is read by friends and foe.you want to go round netting a bird that is in decline and biting it to kill it,fill your boots.want to be about the only person who considers english partridges vermin ? go right ahead. major differences between foxes eating chickens and greys eating crops is foxes arent declining,it is legal to take them at night and they are on the general licence.

decroyffe Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Did you find yourself typeing faster towards the end of that last post, thought so, came down, count to 10 and breathe. Digger, i have the unfortunate task of working tonight, thats when i think the most. i'm in charge of a railway gang working out towards Manchester. There's no need for you to worry, i myself have only ever killed one grey partridge, and thats was a case of mistaken identaty. i think somewhere we've left the beaten track. there's a time and place, i chose both wrongley. Get ya sen a brew and think nothing more of it. Best Regards to you, kieran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazooka Joe Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 You'll have to kill them whilst there under the net ( bite the heads) to get the lot of them, it's very effective and you'll have enoufgh in the bag to share with the land owner and your mate. We did this twice in November but i'm not sure how much luck you'll have this time of year, good luck anyway. There's no need for you to worry, i myself have only ever killed one grey partridge, and thats was a case of mistaken identaty. i think somewhere we've left the beaten track. there's a time and place, i chose both wrongley.

deadeye ive Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 If grey partridge are eating sprouts then it's time for the landowner to get a Gas Gun or a chap who is a very poor shot .............Must exhaust all other methods first especially when vermin are'nt the problem .

caplock Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 It's not the pheassy and partridge pics that are offensive it's that vulgar plastic spewing contraption you have taken into the field in pursuit of em! Keep it for the clay ground, or better still locked up so as not to offend the eye.

beatingisbest Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Guys, i think that we should all think about what we are going to put on here as we all know antis look though these forums, this kind of writing is fuel for the antis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decroyffe Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 quite true, and please, if your going to quote me, look at the facts, i never said grey's when i went out. there's a lot of guess work going on here, and your no very good at guessing. it's also nice to see so many biter's, i said sorry for the comments a while since, and also said sorry for my timing and chosen place, if you cant leave a simple rant take a look at your own personel problems before you digg at anyone else's. i'm going to leave you ladys to finish this one of, or if you've got owt about you then lets just leave it regards kieran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPARKIE Posted December 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 even so i dont think its worth the hassle sometimes posting where and what and when you been out shooting so i think ill keep my self to myself and i think some others should do the same i also think there is 2 much negativeity on the forum and if peolple can only criticise then they should keep quite as i said before not everyone is the best at hunting there are a lot of beginers on here and im 1 of them and mistakes are made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 I have nothing against you sparkie mate, I think you are a good lad and it looks like you made a mistake, perhaps, shooting the grey partridge. My view is don't shoot unless you know what you are shooting at, not lecturing you mate just saying what I think. I have shot things I shouldn't, anyone who has been shooting long enough will have done as well and anyone in that situation who says they have not is probably lying. It happens and once it happens the only thing you can do is make sure it won't happen again. You gain experience by never making the same mistake twice Don't be discouraged posting pics and accounts of your shooting, we all have to learn and can't all be experts from day one.

wickedandlazee Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Sparkie mate - dunna worry bout it m88 - u've done nothing illegal, those greys are put down by the game shoot for bloody shooting and thats what you did. I personally would have too if i had been in the right place Keep puttin the pics up mate as ur cameras better than mine As for all this **** about what gun u shoot - who gives a monkey's as long as you use it sensibly and know what your doing who gives a flying ***** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These word are completely true, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone" comes to mind. Dont let it worry you. Just do not make the same mistake again. Learn from this one. It is considered alright to make a new mistake. However else are we we to learn from them, if we did not make them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wickedandlazee Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 I don't mind tradition but at the end of the day its only one shot and we can't all afford two guns either. He can always put two up if people are that bothered and put a red flag in to show its empty like they do on clay grounds. I personally don't think it should matter but then i don't go on formal shoots anyway I won't stoke up the old class argument don't worry thats been done before and i don't beleive it anyway.

digger Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 last post,greys released for shooting ? *** if thats the case why are they in decline ? English/grey partridges are not bred or released for shooting.if they were that easy to release as french partridges would they be in the state of decline they are now ? sparkie,keep posting your pics.dont let the ignorant put you off next week ; why badger baiting is ok,cock fighting cool and shooting your own dog will teach it a lesson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
