EoinGalway Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Well the last and final county vermin count took place tonight. Here in Ireland the National Shooting Body (NARGC) have county vermin counts. Each club is asked to return vermin. Works on a point system. 20pts - Mink 10pts - Fox 8pts - Grey Crow 8pts - Magpie 1pt - Crow 1pt - Jackdaw 1pt - Pigeon This is a picture of what was in the club freezer.. Our total bag (a lot not here) was 80 Foxes, 1 Mink, 315 Grey Crows, 166 Magpies, 27 Crows.. Not bad for 4 active members within our club..

EoinGalway Posted May 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Serious Shooting required for a serious problem. There is so many Grey Crows and magpies at the moment.. they seem to be going from strength to strength no matter how many we seem to take out..

Was this a typical amount Eoin good/bad total to usual and how long over? Well done GH The picture shows Nov-April bag..mostly done in March\April after the season is finished the rest was dried and bagged during Aug-Sept last year.. We don't bother collecting Pigeons\Crows as they are not worth too many points.. most years we would be looking at 100 mags\100 greys and about 75 foxes.. Our club didn't return the last two years though as I was working in Yorkshire and no one else bothered. Considering this is the work of about 4 people, two of which don't even have transport you can imagine the amount of time put in.. still looking at that picture puts a smile on my face every time!!

grasshopper Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Definately more satisfying than looking at a list Cracking GH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegeta Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 my god i wish there were 4 members that active in my club. I don't have a shooting buddy down my way and i find it hampers my shooting greatly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tikkamark Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 well done eoin i have something similar in my fridge collecting over the last 2 years though as the useless head of our gunclub was to lazy to find out when it takes place Do you not just cut the head off the grey crow and keep just the wing of the magpie saves a lot of space.

No we have to return the whole bird in regards to mags and greys.. but we have got permission to return just pigeon heads for next year.. so considering I shot over 600 last Aug\Sept should add quite a bit to the kitty!!
