Bullseye...................knew i had seen it before

The only reason I asked is I found an old article about the guy using this air rifle to kill a squirrel (some may remember it) and it took five pellets to kill it, I just wondered what air rifle it was?.

he was prosecuted….http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2263806/The-Verminator-Pensioner-hauled-court-taking-air-rifle-squirrel.html

What that article demonstrates is that if the rspca get involved they will push very hard for a prosecution .

On the grounds of making the animal suffer and failing to dispatch the animal humanely .

Some thing we should all be aware of when decoying or game shooting .

How much time is it deemed allowed to pass between shooting a pricked bird and dispatching it .?? 

I guess that depends on the persons resolve to end any suffering as quickly as possible .(going out shopping for 3 hours between shots isnt really taking the matter seriously ) 

One of the reasons i shoot with a dog. Especially over standing crops and cover .then i can say ive done all i can to be humane in my pest control .
