I am so envious - I am lucky if I find a spot of ground that doesn’t have a 45 degree slope! 2 trapped today and as I was dropping off a new loan trap, there was a grey hanging on the feeder - seemed rude not to shoot it. The owner was delighted, the grey had been bugging her for weeks. If only life was so easy. Total 721 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 1 today off bird feeder. Very old buck. Peanut butter. Total 722 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 Yep, planted this 10 acre plot 24yrs ago with a Farm Woodland grant and then as it developed I built four purpose designed cabins for a) watching wildlife and b) killing vermin. That one isn't but the others are built from timeber grown on site. 2 more today out in Lincolnshire 724 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sciurus Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 (edited) Went out this morning for a wander with .410 and thermal. Difficult to spot greys in the beeches and oaks due to the full leaf canopy, but managed to shoot 3 in the ash and tree stumps. Finished off the morning with 2 more in loan traps. A beautiful morning to be out , Total 729 Edited June 9, 2020 by Sciurus Poor arithmetic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last week, One of our villagers caught 3 in the first day with a trap, which I thought was fantastic but 5 in an hour is just brilliant. - Watch our Walker, you have competition!

Another 3 from the same trap, in under an hour again. Ive recently moved and the garden backs onto a park. The squirrels are everywhere and have literally demolished the bins looking for food. Very few songbirds about so hopefully I can help them a bit. 845 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My garden is now packed full of songbirds 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 Yes, excellent work, keep whacking and stacking. Things have gone a bit quiet round here but I suppose you can't keep killing 'em. I know one wood I shoot has gone very quiet these days where my first visit there resulted in double figures in about a couple of hours, now I may see one or two. BUT that is the plan isn't it ? Things might pick up when the pheasant feeders get filled. I'm 50 down on what I planned on 1st Jan but still on my average for last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
