air gun ant 1,666 Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Unfortunately salclalin is right it all belongs to somebody. I used ferret and shoot with air guns on a lot of common land near me but I wouldn't risk it with the shottie (not very discreet lol) in fact I wouldn't risk it all these days.
