Michaeli Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Hi All I need a fox shooter with an open ticket asap near white post farm, Nottingham. A client has a fox problem on a small bit of land she keeps about 30 chickens on. She lost one two weeks ago but has lost two in the last two days, one being only 20 mins ago (7:20pm) The problem is I'm away all week and then only back for a few days before going to Egypt for 2 weeks so unable to deal with it at the moment. Ideally local and must have an open ticket and a .22lr due to noise and houses around. Please pm me with your number and i'll give you a ring. Oh and if you have 1 or 2 post please don't PM me, i need someone who will do it and i can trust. Thanks Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunterdave Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Where in Nottingham, and how bigs the land and how close are the houses, has the land ever been cleared by nots firearms..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash72 Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) A friend of mine has an open ticket dude and would like to give it a go. Many thanks, Crash Edited May 20, 2014 by Crash72 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michaeli Posted May 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 The land is in the village next to white post farm. It's only a small piece of land but backs on to a big farm. All shots would be safe but land not cleared. Must be sub sonic rounds due to local houses and politics. A fox caller would be great and it would be a sit a wait due to the size of the ground etc. Ideal for some one local as I can't guarantee anything and would hate for some to travel really far for nothing. If intreasted please pm me a number and I will call with more details. Thanks Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matone Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Last thing you want is a fox caller if politics are involved,the chickens are going to a litter if cubs,best deal with that end if at all possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smig4373 Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) I'm guessing in farnsfield...i was brought up there, is Geoff brambly still the keeper up exgrave..?? Moderated 12g sounds more suitable.. Edited May 22, 2014 by smig4373 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RED BEARD Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Sounds like a cage trap might be a worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommo Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Jesus, It just needs someone with an open ticket with a .22rf and someone who knows what they are doing. Sounds like the keeper offer is your best bet. I've shot loads of foxes like this for people for the same reason in tighter situations, common sense is all that's required. Safe shooting T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanjipete Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 trap it .. check on your feo .22 are legal in the area to shoot fox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbiep Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 trap it .. check on your feo .22 are legal in the area to shoot fox No, NO, NO. The FEO has absolutely NO say whatsoever in whether .22 is legal for fox. The Home Office document is pretty clear. It states that 22LR is not GENERALLY suitable for fox, apart from in experenced hands and at short range The section is 13.25, and the exact wording is this : .22 Rimfires are generally considered as having insufficient muzzle energy to be used against foxes in most circumstances. However, these could be suitable for use at short range by experienced persons, and may be permitted in certain situations such as around farm buildings or paddocks. It is for the operator to ensure that the quarry species are shot at the appropriate range with the appropriate ammunition to achieve a humane kill. Combination shotgun/rifles should have the rifled barrel in a similar calibre. Expanding ammunition should be authorised for shooting foxes. If your FEO says differently, point him in the direction of that, and ask him to put his refusal in writing. I imagine a swift retreat will follow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
