JohnGalway Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Too right Chard! I was out yesterday with the .223 and what did I come across? A couple of trees with at least 40 greycrows in them all quiet as pets!! If I had my shotgun? They'd have been landed 100 yards away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greycrows, are they Hoodies? We don't get them here, just the black ones. If a Hoodie strays over here, there's a traffic jam of twitchers wanting to look at it :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anywhere a farmer is feeding horses or cattle these lads are there in droves! Ah well, I never have the right gun with me in the day, must get a combination 12ga/.22lr/.223 I'd say it'd be wonderfully accurate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FM Ive got a wood backing onto the farm that is 1/2 mile wide by 1.5 miles in lenth, i could probably shoot over a hundred of them if i had a walk round with a poking stick and a gun, they are everywhere! the odd one does get blown apart on the bird table Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Master Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Fair play. Potting them with an airgun is good sport though! FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 But as other colleagues on the site warned me - if you're shooting them in your garden have your reasons ready for when any of your bunny hugging neighbours call the boys in blue. I've got a, long garden and can shotting up the garden without any danger to neighbours and those of either side of me know what I do and are quite happy with it as long as I don't kill the tree rats in front of their kids. Wildebeest in manchester eh - why do I pay to go to Africa on safari! Happy Christmas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
