It might be that you are restricted on the terms of your FAC., and if so you must abide by the terms of your certificate. It may be that your own FAC is restricted (or as some may say - closed) without Fox as a condition except on your centre fire guns. For those who have an open ticket and condition of “All Lawful Quarry” it is perfectly Ok. From the evidence of the post it did the job. The use of a .22lr near to housing is often preferable to avoid disturbing residents, always assuming there is a safe backstop and it is safe to use the 22lr.

WelshMike Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 Well done mate. When you get your renewal through maybe look at swapping the .22 for a .338 Lap Mag or something similar, that should be good for fox shooting up to 100 yards The only thing worse then shooting a fox with a .22lr is shooting it in the head...you would get loads more abuse lol. I for one object to shooting fluffy foxes...honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have this `common sense` discussion a lot of the time - on several subjects. It has now been decided that common sense is developed and moulded by life's great experiences. You aren't just born with it. Common sense is in fact `the use of judgement based on previous experiences/learning points`. After many years of scientific research and shouting at people (I nearly typed `shooting`....), it was concluded that most of the time, my common sense had been influenced by life experiences and is not a born trait (sadly, not as smart as I thought I was). The correlation between me saying/shouting/(shooting?) "you should know better, where is your common sense" - was in fact based on me having learned that `common sense` at some previous point in my life. So - yes - it sounds like common sense, but I have learned that (or been taught that) at some point in my informative years. I still see people popping off at pigeons in the next postcode, doing `dumb` stuff with guns, clay traps etc We need to take it upon ourselves to educate people, de-dumb them and make them CS Ambassadors. *gets off soapbox* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) Close and quiet the 22RF will do the job in spades. Shot quite a lot for folk living in towns troubled with them. Just sit in the bedroom window till they show up. Job done and neighbours don't have a clue. Edited September 19, 2019 by Walker570 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I caught a bit about foxes on the one show last night whilst I was waiting for some sensible TV, aimed very much at people who dont venture into the countryside much lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
