    The other interesting one relating to sec1 shotties is this and I admit I dont know whether I am reading it correctly, but... 13.18 Self-loading shot guns (semi-automatic is defined in section 27 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 as holding more than two cartridges in the magazine and applies only to large magazine shot guns (and .22RF)) may be used to shoot certain pest species under the terms of a licence from either the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) (WLF 100091 in England, WLF 008 in Wales) or the Scottish Executive Environment and Rural Affai

    begs the question as to why some forces just say vermin and others specify fox as a seperate quarry All to do with the initial "good reason" This is taken from the HO guidelines....and yes they are "guidelines" Fox 13.23 Common rifle cartridges considered suitable for the shooting of foxes range from .17 Remington, and .22 Hornet to .22 -250 and .220 Swift, though there is a wide range of suitable similar calibres commercially available. In windy areas, where heavier bullets aid accurate shooting, or if applicants wish to use one rifle for shooting both deer and foxes they

    The good thing is..... That because vermin covers everything, it backs up what many say, and that is all you need on your fac for rifle, is "vermin" to shoot foxes. Foxes fall into the legal definition of vermin!

    On a quite new reserve near us that is surrounded by grouse moor and a few pheasant woods, they even lay on goshawk walks! No end of buzzards turn up, along with the odd hen harrier from time to time, the odd kite or pair of kites and the ospreys for a couple of days a year as they head north. Peregrines come and go.

    Net bag, and or dog handlers vest depending on number of nets required, or just pockets if only a few nets are needed.

    Leave it on the fox, cut around the base with a sharp knife, and then either with a split stick or an opened up pair of pliers grip around the base of the tail, put your foot on the fox and pull up. The tail will come away leaving the bone still attached to the fox!

    Nope, on ours it's "beaters day" The guns repay the beaters with sweat and tears! Every syndicate gun and any friends come and beat for the beaters who stand for every shoot! They then each stick £50 in the kitty for the "beaters do" and we have one hell of a night Beaters and guns attend the do, a pie and chips meal in a private room, followed by drinks, a hunt sing song, and a toast to friends no longer with us! Very defiantly a beaters day. The keepers day is the one the keeper invites all the people for a shoot who have helped out throughout the year, and some of h

    They are good Joe, and despite being Jack Pike, they are hard wearing. I have no complaints

    I always think ferreters wearing great coats are just people who want to look like they have come from a bygone era. The old romantic vision of a poacher from the 1800's ! I use usually use my heavy duty Barbour and a jack pike dog handlers vest. Plenty of big pockets, great for netting up, get 20 nets in each pocket plus finder, knife etc

    In fact at Weston, we used to have to shoot as many as we could when the anglers started whinging about them!

    Coot

    tegater replied to Karl Daw's topic in Airgun Hunting

    Cormorants I think I can understand due to eating fish? But why kill the Coots? "These birds are omnivorous, eating mainly plant material, but also small animals and eggs. They are aggressively territorial during the breeding season, but are otherwise often found in sizeable flocks on the shallow vegetated lakes they prefer. At least some Coots have difficulty feeding a large family of fledglings on the tiny shrimp and insects that they collect. So after about three days they start attacking their own chicks when they beg for food. After a short while, these attacks concentrate on the
