Walker570 Posted May 23, 2022 Report Share Posted May 23, 2022 Just checked the diary from this week last year and we had an influx of five over this same week, so yes I will keep my eyes peeled and instruct my 'scout' to spend more time down there. Keep whacking and stacking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep whacking and stacking. Yep the influx has occurred and had two more this morning. Checking back three diaries and the same, end of May influx. Killed 5 to 10 and then goes all quiet again. I'm pretty certain the Old Man couldn't 😃h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amateur Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 Absolutely nothing for months. No garden intruders at all and the live traps are empty, apart from a fluffy grey cat who looked rather bemused. It was either nosy or attracted by the peanut butter bait. Once released, it didn't seem too discomforted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you manage to shoot a squirrel with a 42grain bullet and there's not a mark on it? I shot her this morning, big female, 10.5 grain pellet went in at the ear and out through the lower jaw with an almighty whack! It was certainly a wet and windy one this morning. and my new shooting accessory. I filled up last night and got a tick on my arm!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s happy to have Rimfire shot squirrels because there’s no residual lead in them for his bird of prey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pass straight through the heart then there’s nothing to pump the blood out. The exit wound was on the back. Head shots and the heart will still pump until it works out it’s brain dead, that can be quite a while and all the time it’s pumping blood out of the wounds, very messy!

leakyseals Posted May 29, 2022 Report Share Posted May 29, 2022 1 young female taken this morning in the live trap, an absolute bruiser too and in prime condition. 1st live one i've bagged for a while, the Fenn trap has been doing the heavy-lifting of late. Im still not seeing anything like the same amount of activity I was, this time last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisheruk Posted May 29, 2022 Report Share Posted May 29, 2022 (edited) And three more girls this morning. All with the CZ at about 50 metres. Before the greys arrived there was a Red feasting on the feeder for about 30 minutes. Edited May 29, 2022 by Fisheruk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandalf Posted May 29, 2022 Report Share Posted May 29, 2022 You are a busy boy my friend. Well done. Getting so we can't see anything below the size of a jumbo down here in Suffolk. Harvest will improve things. Squizzles will have to wait a bit. Baited traps still work of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I went on to his website and found the one I wanted and ordered it and paid for it and waited for it. And I am still waiting. Contacted them yesterday and they said everyone else was to blame and it wouldn't be long. So much for brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
