:notworthy: Top shooting guys! We've never had that many on a single visit. Can't wait to get out when the leaves fall off the trees. I managed to bag one the other day chucked it in with the ferrets and the little tykes hardly touched it! :blink: Never tried eating one as the ferrets usually have them but if they are going to cock their noses up think i'll try it myself :gunsmilie: .

An excellant post mate. :good:

 

Where the squizzers baited with mais and grain etc on the ground level pri to the cull, or did you go to a area where they just live in abundance and forage from tree to tree seeing what they can find?

 

Where i shoot there are lots of squizzers and i get the odd 1 or 2 when im out with the gun but with the leaves on the trees at the minute its hard to get a cross hair on them for longer than a 3 or 4 seconds before they are hidden.

 

My best chances are when they are around the bird feeder hoppers and the way is clear.

 

13 is a very impressive number.

 

Well done and keep up the good work

we used no bait at all, the hide we build had a roof on it so they couldn't see us from above.

 

Most were shot while moving from one bit to another, after an hour or so the bit infront of the hide was fairly quiet so we had a walk around and used the hide as a base to meet for coffee etc.

 

I think only around 2 were shot on the floor, we stood under the tree we knew they were in, leaves being a problem, and made note of where the 'shells' were dropping, whatever they were eating, wait a minute then shot them as they move on, within the short time we had!

 

roll on sunday!
