Till I can get out and get some pics from around rugby where I moved to a coupla months ago. Here's some more stuff from my forays in Essex earlier this year. If anyone can tell me what the white flowers are, I'd be grateful [i suck at flower recognition ]

woodies are built like little tanks, headshots are the only way as Taff said. I've hit em with .22 hollowpoints at 10 yards or less and despite firing from elevation and hitting beside the neck putting the round deep into their chest they get up a few seconds later. with .177 you just dont have the punch to drop them without hittin the little buggers in the bean. good luck n happy hunting

-
This is what i'm stuck with till my new weihrauch arrives at the gunshop

The only woodies left within a mile of me are the ones that aren't daft enuff to see free bread on the lawn outside my bedroom window and think 'oooh look free bread.... that looks safe'

How old are you and how many years have you been shooting air rifles???
Jef66 replied to Timelord's topic in Airgun Hunting
I'm 41, Only ordered my first rifle about 10 days ago :) I spose this makes me an agein noob -
If you put the rifle away in the gunbag/case without letting it get to about the same temperature as indoors or inside the bag, it will attract some condensation [even a teeny bit can be enuff to let rustspots start] If you bag your gun in a lovely fleecy bag and it gets all snuggly n warm moisture thats seeped into gaps or the like can 'sweat' out and start rustspots too.
-
If you can get hold of some little bags of silica gel [the stuff they put in boxes of electronic goods etc] and keep them in the gunbag, they suck up moisture like nobodys business. outta make sure the inside of the bag is as moisture free as poss. Try askin in a local PC shop or currys, thasts where i got the ones i use.
