What were you using, a punt gun ? to be fair that is one of the stupidest statements NE have come out with and wave a gun shaped stick at them and dress as a scarecrow, no wait I retract that, there’s loads of them all as equally as stupid as the next ?

I have been guilty myself of not following the GL and also not understanding some of it, if you read into it there is so many grey areas that can be interpreted in many different ways, what I would like to see is pigeon and corvid classed as a pest species and treated in the same way as rabbit/fox/gray squirrel, I don’t think we would ever get to a point where the numbers were low enough to remove them from the GL or to go back to this mess we are in now, I also wouldn’t have a problem with the need for a personal license for the control of Canada and jays, I would also accept Canada’s to be s

Yep, I was thinking both those things ?

Just a generic letter no doubt sent to hundreds of people, what gives this away is I used my name on the letter yet I’m referred to as the complainant, they haven’t even done what they said by starting the release of the licenses by Monday, this just goes to show the complete ineptitude of these people, they didn’t need to act in the way they did and create this mess, WJ asked for license changes in 2020, giving plenty of time to get this right, I’m sure if I was this incompetent I would be for the chop but I’m guessing these people will carry on taking there excessive pay while making a bigg

Exactly

Well, a reply from NE complaints department and I don’t know why they bothered, the link in the email is to NE’s press release saying they are working hard to sort the new GL and this is there final response on the subject, I would of had more respect for them if they just told me to f*ck off ?

I’d didn’t know that lapua made .22 subs and at that price I wouldn’t want to know, I’d definitely give the Norma a go ?
-
Jesus, that’s way over the top lapua for a rimfire ?
-
Keep at them chap, by protecting the livestock in accordance with the GL you are also looking after the native bird species at this nesting time, nice work ?
-
Well it’s been 5 days now since the licenses were pulled and all NE have managed to cobble together is one GL for the control of crows, we were told that the licenses would start to be reissued by Monday but have seen nothing, I suppose this has something to do with the people running NE have a server conflict of interest regarding previous employment, at this time of year the nesting fowl are having a hard enough time without there nests been raided, so what to do, do I wait it out for a couple more days or do I go through the rigmarole of the personal license form with the bloke who owns the

The behaviour of some people is disgusting and they are not part of any shooting community I belong to, I can’t stand the man and when horrible things happen to him it gives me a warm feeling inside but these acts are not helping one bit, I’ve never been of the opinion that you should shoot it just because you can and there should always be a reason for doing so, on some of my permission we have jays, I don’t shoot these because they are not in significant numbers where as the magpies are a major problem, I feel if more people were aware of what’s around them then the different species could b
-
I know for the foreseeable future I will be doing what is asked of me, I’m not saying I’m going to break the law or go against the GL but for me the people who work/farm the countryside know how to look after it, it’s just a terrible shame that it has to be such a taboo subject and god forbid you actually enjoy what you do

I had that discussion about decoying with my farmer mate yesterday and he agreed with me that the best time to shoot pigeon is on the stubble and to decoy them in, although at this time they are not coursing any damage, he would argue that this is prevention and a very good way of knocking the numbers back before the winter/spring crops go in, you know the problem is coming so why wait until it arrives ?
-
I read it as, as the last resort is to shoot them the owner of the livestock will of taken the preventative steps before asking the likes of me and you to dispatch them in a humane manner and as for a record of the steps taken what do they want “ on Tuesday I waved a flag at them nasty crows and Wednesday we used a banger until they wised up to it, as for what has been shot I’d leave that for the owner to document
-
I like them cci’s for chucking at rabbits because they are as many as you can carry for about 10 quid ?
-
You will not have to carry any licenses, the rest of the licenses will be issued in the coming weeks and as it is a general license all you will need to do is act in accordance with the license
-
Here’s a few that are worth a look in that budget, all adjustable parallax, the optisan is a cracker
-
That’s GL26 the first revised licence to be released by NE, it allows the shooting of crows only for the protection of livestock providing that you carry this out within NE guidelines
-
Haha, I love my trigger sticks ?? saying that I was out with someone last night and his fell to bits ?
-
You won’t go wrong with bushnell, although they are American the optics are made in Japan, they also make Tasco, browning optics and them primos trigger sticks ?
-
Nice shooting Bernard sausage, it’s nice to know there’s still some things you can legally shoot and eat ?
-
It looks like I may of mislead you there, Ive just had a look and the new scope all seem to use the same coating, I was told when I bought mine the coating was different for use in low light, maybe they have updated the rang and changed to the higher quality lens, if that’s the case and it has got the multi coated lens I wouldn’t recommend it with the pard and I’d be tempted to look at the Nikon
-
I’ll have a look at that mate, cheers, I’ll join just to have a look at what’s for sale, I stay out of the general forum on here, if I want to listen to people giving there pointless opinions on pointless sh*t nobody really has any interest in I’ll pop round and have a cup of tea with my old Mam and her mates ? they can talk sh*t for England ?
-
I think it’s the coatings on the lens that are different, the scope that’s on my .243 works really well in low light, I think the cheaper vortex scopes don’t have the same coating on the lens so would work better with the pard

I was wrong on that Dave it was a 4-16x50
