04fox8 168 Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 Give it another fortnight or so, and go out with the pellet gun. Or, a few 'heavy' cartridges into the nests now / soon. Hide well, and sit out with the shotgun. 1 Quote Link to post

Matt 160 Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Just bear in mind the conditions of the general licence.......

Get your reasoning right, and then kill them! Quote Link to post
