About 25 years ago, a mate of mine had a 2 bore blackpowder wildfowling shotgun made by Alan Myers, gunsmith of Preston.
This gun had a 42" barrell if I can remember rightly and fired 5 and a half ounce of shot.
I test fired it at a tree stump on the Solway Firth and ploughed a huge furrow in the ground about 2 thirds of the way towards it, it was that heavy!
Big Jim got several geese with it though and it was supposedly the biggest hand held gun in the country at that time. Cheers, D.
There's about 5 programs a night on Freeview, the worst offenders get a 12 month ban and 3 month's youth custody. Big deal, they know how to steal cars easier when they come out!

Anyone Liverpudlians get upset about these, please rember the "Famous Liverpool sense of humour"! Yours in jest, D.
Only set the traps when I see signs of rats about. Had seen some signs last week and usually get regular results with Maltesers but after a chat with MT the other night, a bird feeder fat ball produced 2 adults in the catch alive this morning. Cheers, D.
Only if you get caught!
If people can get fined for throwing fag butts and sandwich remains out of car windows (both bio-degradable), I am sure any jobsworth copper would be looking to ensure that you got the same.
Find a quiet spot!
When I was a kid, Mother's cat used bring home, shrews, mice, rats, chicks, birds, baby rabbits and drop them all live in the house!
Used to have a piano back then and the feckers all seemed to go under that!
That about sums it up.
I've worked bloody hard for over 30 years. Kids grown up and moved out. Mortgage almost paid. Own 2 businesses (well me and the bank)
Why shouldn't I have a few toys? Haven't had a (proper) holiday for 3 years and work 10-15 hours a day 6 days a week.
Each to their own. Cheers, D.
Again, start amateur, if your any good go pro.
But it's an art not just a job. That's why there are so many few good pros. See the posts on this site for confirmation.
There's a web site (found through Google) which gives a multitude of collective terms for all sorts.
"An Exultation Of Larks"
Very good in a quiz. Cheers, D.
My Casio XLM 1200 is far clever than me! 4X optical zoom and loads of "Pre set" Modes
£450 for the real deal. £150 reconditioned from Ebay. HTH. Cheers, D
