Sorry to have to ask this lads I obviously don't know how to dig but once I have scruffed my fox how the f**k do I work the bolt gun if I put the fox down will he just wait there while I get it or is there some special terrier mans way of strangling them

 

Same way as we held 'em to tap them mate.

hello lads is there any reason legal or otherwise why i couldnt use the bolt gun or the likes of in the top of the link below to dispatch my quarry at the end of a dig?.

im determined to put in for a pistol in the comming months like that at the bottom of the link.

ive been a good lad for years and have land/permission for digging/protecting game birds but should i be refused a cert then the bolt gun is my plan B... save me relying on others and land owners to despatch when needed..the plan was to have it lengthened a little by one of the engineering lads.

i cant sse why this wouldnt be suitable to use legal or other wise..your thoughts please.

interesting topic, you can handle a fox face on just by placing your spade over the front of his head. Reach in and pull him forward keeping the spade between your arm and his head. Brush wise there shouldnt be a problem or in a net. For those of you who have not been bit you will be, law of average will sort that. Belive me, it hurts. The first time you bit, its showing off, second time its a mistake, third time its someone else's falt, any time after that is because you have NOT gave your quarry the respct he or she deserves. And they will have you, and the pain that follows is un f***ing beliveable. Im talking from experience. If there's no need to handle them dont, deal with the situation in a profesional and humane manner. Be it shotgun or humane killer not captive bolt,

If I get the right interest I may be persuaded to part with my dispatch tool.

Hia matey. I work in a gun shop and we sold one of these recently. You do NOT need any certificate to own one, but, would you really want to get your hand that close to a fox?. I asked my boss would they be ok for killing fox's in a cage trap and he said" you dont want to get your hand that close".

 

I would go for a SGC and get a .410 single barrel costing you about £100. Much cheeper.

the plan was if im refused a cert to have the handle area lengthened and the trigger moved along accordingly.

other than possibly having to do more to get in the right position to use it.

i dont see why there be an issue using it on fox when they put out cattle etc with these things.

just to add i know a firearm would be more suited for ease of use hands down.

but just supposeing i dont get a cert is what im saying.

i thought i might have a better chance at obtaining a cert with it being so job specific as opposed to hobby shooting but you never know...thanks for the replies folks.

yes mate they do put out sheep and cattle!But you have to still put the barrel on there head...and feckin sheep and cows don't bite back Try it on a fox let us know how many fingers you have left

["Earth!" 503]

had a vixen loving my finger a few months back,never felt pain like it.at one point i thought it had taken my finger as the pain went but then she decided to give it another nibble.my mate was laughing,especially when i lowered the vixen to the floor hoping(begging)it to let go so it could be shot then my terrier appered,and decided to pull the fecker .

as stated,there shouldnt really be any reason to handle a fox other than to take from a net if its not safe to take a shot to one that is dug to for reasons of a ricochet etc..

once bitten,twice shy id say or in my case having know how it feel,ALOT more 'RESPECT' for the quarry and the warrior that works them all the time and takes much more than we would be able to handle.think if i were a terrier,after my 1st bite id throw the blanket it,if not id certainly be one that stands off a couple of feet and shout at it.

[dean 11]

i use a .22 pistol but i must admit dons 410 is the best thing for the job and if you dont want to get right up to quarry that is the tool but handling quarry is what its all about and once you get bit you soon learn a bit of respect

gutted.only got a shotgun ticket,never bothered renewing my firearms or obtaining a ticket for a dispatch gun.if i did,id take this off your hands.

[brin 2]

i used a captive bolt when i was terrier man at the north shropshire only because i have been in prison 3 times and would never get a fac ticket. the captive bolt works very well at dispaching foxes i used a purple blank for the job.
