I also help out down the farm now and again so am quite used to being minging dirty. Once I went straight into a load of chicken poo water nearly knee deep. Thought I was in a different chicken house/shed/barn. Think I wrote up about that on here. However, my Ratty is only used for NV now, so nothing touches my cheek on this gun....thank goodness! Anyway, as I'm sure most guys on here know, the rats are more at risk of catching some random disease off me! haha

I love my RatCatcher. PM me before you sell it.

Well before even loading a .22 into my RatCatcher, I managed to bag a bunny (currently in the freezer) so today is at least a semi successful hunting day. But night had fallen and it was time to get ratting. Unfortunately my hodgepodge battery organisation...or lack of organisation set it up for a less than perfect session (forgot to even take a normal torch with me) but I soldiered on. Got the Ratty ready to go, starting with the bottom egg belt. First shot was way high! Second shot was compensated for, and found it's mark. First rat was more like a large mouse. Not worth celebrat

Let's not be jumping ahead of ourselves now Mr Moxy. Meathumper I have made ZERO mods mate. Well, internally anyway. Moderator, 1 normal light, 1 IR light, and a little 4x mag scope. Oh and a pretty pouch on the stock to hold pellets and CO2. Think of it as a handbag meets a stock cover. That aside, it's 100% out the box original. Not even changed an o-ring or seal. No wait, I have added another scope mount bracket thing for extra play in adapting the scope forward or back depending if I'm using NV or normal light.

Just about to start ratting for the night, pulled up at the chicken house and saw something from the corner of my eye. The trusty springer was in the back do I loaded it up and sat there waiting. After a nice 10 minutes a hefting bunny hopped out. This one is ready for the pot, thought I. A quick squeeze on the trigger and I was proven right. Now it's all skinned and gutted. But do I feel good about it? Mixed. While gutting I found 5 little pouches. She was pregnant. I guess technically the farmer is doing well from that pellet, but there is a tiny feeling of guilt. No problem,

HAHA, The one on top is my NV torch, the other is a normal light. I took off my NV system, but left the NV light in place.

Stomach turning is the way I describe that feeling. I've got the habit now of simply putting a heart and lung shot for a convulsing rabbit. If it's not a clean kill, heart and lung is a larger target, so I put it through there. I've ran over before and put a pellet through a head of a rabbit once that I accidentally pulled the trigger on. I was used to a 2 stage trigger, but was using a friend's gun. I was on the rabbit, just moving the crosshairs up the rabbit, and getting to the first stage of the trigger pull and suddenly it shot, nearly straight away. I was getting the crosshairs still

Just a quick picture post really. I promised some pics of some rats that I'd taken out a while back, so here you go. Only the 1 pic today, hopefully I'd get a load more from tonight's ratting. The farmer has found another nest/hide spot, so should be able to get a whole load at the same time. This lot is just 3 quick rats from about 2 months ago. Sorry for not posting sooner. Check out my trust Crosman RatCatcher

HAHA, now that I have your attention and you're going to read all of this...prepare for the best story ever! Okay, I've lied...twice now. The rabbit was actually only 40 yards and this is far from the best story ever! April fool!!! Anyway, as the story goes... I was out yesterday checking out the left hand slope of a field that's got a load of rabbits on it. So I scope up and get my cross hairs trained on a small but unnecessarily bright brown (pretty much ginger-red) rabbit around 40 yards from me. I was sat down doing my 'stealth stalking' (position yourself in a comfortable position

If someone had done that to me, I probably would have too! haha

After just finishing a 200g Cadbury's Dairy Milk (I wish I was joking, but binge day lives up to it's name) I would have to agree with W. Katchum, spot on mate CARAMAC!!!!!

The wife and I were out on the beach today with out 3 dogs…we have 2 whippets and an Italian Greyhound cross whippet. All seems to be normal. The dogs were great and running around like crazy, making all the fat chocolate labs lolling around after them look like the fat kid in the playground that was forced to do the 400 meters on sports day. Anyway, suddenly one of our dogs sees something from the corner of his eye, and he was off! He managed to find a picnic hamper next to some random 'big boned' bird lay fast asleep. That look in his eye made us know that her sandwiches were in trou

Welcome to the forum.

Preach it!!!! That sounds like music to the ears mate. Congratulations on getting the permission. You've already done the hardest part…getting the first permission. The real work though is in maintaining the permission to a good level where you can use that person as a reference for other permissions. Really pleased that you've done so well though. Nice work

Great intro and great attitude. A willingness to learn will get you far. Next thing to do, get punching paper. Lots and lots of it!!!

Can I borrow your car please? Genuinely, I'd like to know how you'd answer this question Dayro. Not jabbing or having a go. Can I borrow your car?

Right, I think I get you. So if I'm using a 3-12x50 scope, that would be a 50mm objective, right?

Views On Shooting Foxes When Cubs Are About?
RemyBolt replied to slipper's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
On my chicken perm, the fox guy just takes the shot. If not it could end up with hundreds of dead chickens before the morning. Foxes get cray bloodlust. On a dairy perm I have close to home, it's my call whether I want to bring a friend out with a .223 or .22-250 to go for them. But the farmer wouldn't care if I left them be. Some farmers just like to see them about. Others will lose masses of stock from just 1 fox, so letting the cubs grow up…could potentially lose much more. How I see it…the farmer's land so the farmer's rules. I'll leave them if they don't mind them around. If they want -
Whole tail or split? If split, add a load of Borax to it, then just leave it. Let Borax do the rest. As for foot…great question. Want to know this myself. If I find anything I'll let you know.

Gravity makes things fall to the ground. Relativity is talking about the relationship between speed, time, and mass. Anyway, onto the topic in conversation…This debate will go on for a very long time. Those that believe, I am with you 100%. However, for those that do not believe, before casting judgement on the believers, ask fair questions and truly think about the response. The worst that's going to happen is you think the Christian is full of bollocks, and your life has not changed. So listening to them does you no harm. However, if you give time to think that there are a lot of sci

Caveman diet, renamed the Paleo Diet, to widen the appeal to the more feminine of society. It does make sense to be natural in your approach to food, however cavemen were well known to live to around the age of 35, then die. But the premise if the diet, eat clean, makes sense.

If we were meant to exist in perfection why would a loving god immediately attempt to undermine it? Why wouldn't he have simply created a place that we couldn't screw up? More to the point is the Tree Of Knowledge a euphemism? From the writers of the religious texts? So that we're encouraged not to think for ourselves? But I digress... The biggest problem I have with the text is it's origin. The way it's been written. Re-written. Changed. Translated. Redacted. Re-translated and written again. The current "correct" version was written in the 1600's. That's a 500 year margin of error.

Wow, this has gone pretty intense in a short period of time. To answer the original post, the idea of creation requires time. For something to have been created it must have a beginning and an end. Namely…time. However, if something exists outside of time, then it would not need to fit into the functions and conventions of time. Namely, it can be everywhere at once, know everything, and never have a beginning and an end. Think 3D object living in a 2D world, the 3D object has instances that are far beyond the 2D, right? Same with God. To exist within our understanding, mentally we put the

From the opinion of someone opening a sport supplement company, working with all levels of athletes and physique models for the last 14 years, and with a wife whose degree is human biology and nutrition…this is a difficult thread to provide information on. A person's diet depends HUGELY on what they want to achieve, where they are starting from, the timescale they're working with, allergies/intolerance's and 'special considerations' (think vegetarians, Halal, etc), their free time, cooking ability, finances, to name just a few elements. The variety of diets will keep changing and NONE

What's your view on them? Single piece scope mounts. Curiosity has the better of me, and I've picked one up at a low price. So I'll give my opinion. But it'd be good to see what you guys think and if there are issues a heads up would be appreciated.
