I went out shooting today and shot 135 rounds of ammo. I only took one break about halfway through and noticed at the end of the day my groupings were opening up a lot, from 3/4 of an inch to up to 2 inches. Anyone else experience eye fatigue? As I think that is what was causing it.

A bit curious on that 14, how fast does it shoot? It seems that it would be a pretty quick little round with how small of a bullet it shoots. Does it hit the 4000 fps mark?

I have used both the 17hmr and the 22LR. If you want to hunt the occasional fox, I would say go with the 17hmr. It has a lot more power at 2500 fps vs. the 22 LRs 1200 fps and should mean you are able to make about a 150 yard shot on the foxes. The only downside is that rabbits shot in the body with a 17hmr hollowpoint or Vmax tip tend to be really badly damaged and may have a lot of edible meat ruined. Of course there are full metal jacket loads that will reduce the damage or you can always just aim for the head. Personally I would go with the 17hmr as it is more flexible and you can cho

Or just give guns to me :11: No but in all honesty good luck with that hope it turns out!

What is the most unique rifle cartridge that everybody owns? By unique I mean obscure/old....I feel I am very boring with only a 17hmr lol

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by a deer stalking dog. However, in America, in the states that allow it, they use hounds such as redbone, bluetick, black and tan. I have also heard of people using smaller dogs such as beagles with success. By deer stalking, do you mean actually hunting and killing the deer? What is your deer gun? Is it the 22-250 and if so how effective is it?

Why are a lot of people here worried sick about muslims?

Good luck mate and don't get discouraged...it took me three years to get my hive going strong

OK so I am in the US and this whole wedding (Prince William and Kate) is getting a TON of coverage and stories and reports....I was wondering if it was getting as much in the UK

Real good...best fried and breaded...bony as hell though

HAHA Thought they were great.....I guess I have a pretty low mental age as well according to lab tastic

Well if they are like most other wildcats (I don't see why they wouldn't be), you seem to be doing everything right. All I would suggest is to keep running those snares along the game trails (as I got a bobcat like that once), and calling at night should probably work as well. You could probably look into other types of traps as well such as regular steel foothold or padded steel foothold traps if they are legal, and baiting them with some sort of bobcat or mountain lion lure, or if nothing else just some sort of meat. Just make sure you check to see if you would be able to use these. Anot

Ok guys, as I am from America, I am not real that aware of the whole "big, black cat" thing in the UK. I have heard though on the discovery/history channel show Monsterquest that allegedly there are black panthers that roam parts of your country. I have also seen reports of this on this website on various discussions. So I would like to know, are there really black panthers that roam the UK or are they sort of like our bigfoot? (I don't mean to offend anybody that has actually seen them, I would just like to know more about them). I know we have mountain lions where I live in Iowa, so it w

Especially if you use the full metal jacket bullets at close range (I use CCI Full metal jackets). They work very well for close range hunting of small animals such as muskrats, and they don't make a real big mess of them like a CCI TNT hollow point will.

Thanks Fenlander....yes there are a couple of different ways to live trap foxes though....like I said, as far as cages go, it seems that most any kind of meat/animal bait would work such as chicken, fish, rabbit or beef....are these foxes really used to people and going after trash? If they are you might want to try just plain table scraps and other kinds of food that they might be going after in your garbage. If they are country foxes and not too used to people though, you might be best off just using chickens and rabbits and more natural types of bait.
