  1. I bought 4 of these yesterday, so much cheaper than proper hide poles and look much stronger aswell, I bought 4 hide poles for £40 last year and snapped 2 of them just putting them into the ground!!
  2. I looked at the general licences and no it isn't
  3. We shouldn't film birds being killed? You are on the video section of a hunting forum get a grip
  4. Thanks we caught about a dozen in the end
  5. Not great but thought we would put it up! It is the first video in a while but we should have a video up soon of the annual rough shoot, and squirrel shooting after that..subsrcibe to see more!
  6. How do you make the pigeon hotpot!?!?!
  7. RM2508 The name of the section says.......Wildlife and General Photography-Discuss wildlife sightings and topics from mammals to birds..including photography . Well it is good to know that it was probably magpies then because atleast I can say I got some revenge! I still have some suspicions of a mink hanging around though as there is just almost no small water fowl life, just the odd coot, duck and those bloody canadas! Does anyone know of what other signs I could look for as evidence of mink? Because although I cant see or trap them I am sure there must be one hanging around, and a femal
  8. Well ive had 3 fenns down around the lake for almost a week now and I have caught nothing, caught 7 magpies is the larson trap by the lake though so thats something! lab-tastic I didnt know coots killed ducklings, ive heard rumours of moorhens doing so but never knew whether to believe it...
  9. Definately not a squirrel, no way of them getting to the island..I havent seen any rats about there either, what do people think of mink? Any signs of birds killed or any fish eaten?. If not then i'm still going with crow The lake isnt stocked with fish but thought it may be a mink as I have not been seeing the usual amount of birdlife on the lake recently, there seem to be alot less coots, moorhens and duck! I did find feathers and remains of a coot and tufted duck on the side of the lake though this could have been a fox as apposed to mink, I also found a dead mallard duckling of abo

  11. I found 4 tufted duck eggs on the island of a small lake today which had been predated, they were spread across an area underneath a low bush on the island and no nest was visable. Each egg had a whole of on one side where presuably the contents had been sucked out. Now as it was on an island it couldnt be a fox, so I suspect either a crow or mink...any ideas? Thanks
  12. Just started making some shooting videos, will be uploading alot more over the summer, here is the link to a rough shooting video. Enjoy...
  13. Is £58 for a box of 250 20 bore game cartridges (28g 6) a good deal or can i get them cheaper elswhere? thanks
  14. Over the last few days i have seen a pair of carrion crows on my shoot a couple of times, one of which though has partly white wings and a tail, i have never seen this before with corws although i have seen it a couple of times on blackbirds. So how rare is this and has anyone else seen a crow like this?
  15. Thanks, i am going to take it back tomorrow,there is a three month warranty on it thankfully! And it was bought second hand
  16. I had planned to go shooting the young rooks up the rookery today with a mate so i got my gun filled up at the gun shop yesterday, where the guy filled it up to 200 bar. When i got home i fired 10 shots to zero the rifle and put the gun back in its case, the pressure gauge still read 200 bar. When i arrived at the rookery this morning i looked at the pressure gauge on the rifle just take make sure, and i was horrified to find that it now read just under 50 bar!Anyway i put this down to a broken pressure gauge which i was pissed off about because i only bought the gun 2 weeks ago and i have b
  17. Isn't it abit early for branchers?
  18. Well people, i have just made the leap and purchased an air arms s410. So far so good, the accuracy is phenomenal and it is so quiet. However having never owned a pcp before i was wondering at what point will the power start to drop and will need refiling, judging by the pressure gauge on the gun. 50 bar??Or less. cheers

    You shouldn't shoot at any ducks this time of year, even males because they are NOT IN SEASON. The seaon runs from 1st sept - end of january. look at the date of the post atb sneeky Yes, i know the original post was made during the shooting season however i was replying to "MickyB" who's post was on the 24th april (out of the shooting season) saying "this time of year i'd only shoot males". But to shoot male mallard in april is against the law

  23. BSA R10 looks a great gun aswell, of course that would also have to be second hand.what do other people recommend, should i go for a more expensive gun like the r10 or s410 in second hand or get a cheaper gun like the bsa ultra or hornet new?
