Lawful Quarry..who in cheshire has this on FAC
murphymax replied to mickyfinn's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
GLAD i live in SCOTLAND england seems to have loads of different criteria on FAC, most that i know of in SCOTLAND Have open tickets on FAC no need for checks on land or what you can or cant shoot, its left up to the individual FAC holder to decide whats right or wrong. Must be that we are more intelligent up here in SCOTLAND -

Why pay good money for a centrefire rifle, then Piss arse with a cheap set of mounts and scope, you can get a good set of mounts a S&B scope 2nd hand for around 3 - 400 quid. Its like when you buy a new car.... you wouldnt fit remould tyres to it ??? SAVE your money DONT buy a cheap scope, if you look after them they will last you a life time, I use a 35 year old S & B 6 x 42, far better than the other one i have and its only 3 years old

Fair enough mate, i think it is only fair to make the effort (even gas them if need be). At the end of the day, im no hypocrite and i think it is the sporting thing to do. You wouldnt shoot a milky doe and leave the young, so why a fox. FTB Shooting a lot of rabbits at the moment, well NOT REALLY,went out on Thursday last week 1st rabbit i shot was a milky doe, havent had a chance to shoot any more as i am still looking for the litter she has, its a pure nightmare as there are hundreds of holes i just need to find the one that has only one entrance and the litter will be in there. -

Pretty much my take on it also. From my experience shooting fox, which covers more years than I care to remember, in areas where there is plenty of wild food about - rabbits, rats, voles etc, foxes tend to leave lambs alone, the only exception comes with old foxes that are too slow/going deaf to catch wild food - bit like lions that become man-eaters. I did shoot a couple of foxes last month when farmer found a couple of back legs of lambs. The first was last years barren vixen, the other was an old dog fox with ragged ears and not too many teeth in his head - no lambing probs after that. -

This weather is pretty demoralising at the moment either constant rain, snow or very high winds, there does not seem to be a happy medium!

A dog running around in a field full of pregnant ewes can cause them to abort there lambs, how the FECK does the ewe know the dog is not after her, after all she is a PREY animal, her instinct is to flee, i dont have a problem with guys running there dogs for rabbits cant say HARES AS THESE ARE ON THE BANNED LIST not that a lot of the lurcher men know this as they keep posting about there exploits all over the forum for all to see,THE PROBLEM MOST STOCK FARMERS HAVE ABOUT COURSING WITH LURCHERS IS THE AFFECT A DOG RUNNING LOOSE IN A FIELD WITH STOCK IN IT ie SHEEP, PIGS,COWS. When i was young

thats so big of you, what a crock of shite. WHATS SO BIG OF ME !!! That i dont see any poachers with running dogs, or unleashed dogs, i dont understand, we are talking about sheep farms here, the farmer doesnt have a problem with dogs on his farm as long as they are on a leash, he only puts the signs up as a warning and if owners dont heed the signs, and let there dogs run FREE then they will be shot on sight, if folk with dogs dont like the rule, then they dont have to enter the farmers land. Me personally i wouldnt shoot the DOG as it doesnt know any better, it would be better to sh
-
Never see any poachers with running dogs on any of the farms i shoot on, and dont have any trouble with dogs unleashed either, mind you there are signs around saying any unleashed dogs will be shot on sight DAY or NIGHT.

Once you shoot at a fox and miss it, you will have to be lucky to get another go at it at a later date, unless you have come upon by chance, ie: no squeeking or lamp used. If you squeek a fox during the day lets say and you shoot and miss, this will not affect you to lamp the same fox, but the minute you squeek its well gone, vice versa if you lamp a fox and shoot but miss as soon as the lamp hits it again it will be long gone. Best way to get these ones that are lamp or squeek shy, is to set up a bait station at your desired shooting range and sit tight and wait best done around an hour bef
