I would be (now you are self employed) looking to sell the day and pocket the cash . If money isn’t the issue how about a raffle on here for charity? Money not a issue because it doesn’t cost me much and we do a charity shoot now and then, I was thinking maybe someone could offer a shooting opportunity or fishing in return for a days pheasant shooting, if I was to sell the day it would go for between £80 and £120 depending on if it was stand all day or shoot 1 beat 1, so that’s not a lot of money for where we shoot, I’ll have to have a think about it, I’ve plenty of time before January 4 Quote Link to post
Stavross 15,818 Posted May 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 Two cubs from the shoot, these were mooching along the edge of a small stream, there was a third that disappeared into the cover and the vixen was at the top of the track but went to ground, but two is a start, I’ll be up there Friday to see if I can bag a few more, I’ve left plenty of rabbits around the shoot on rides, so hopefully I can just hang around them and wait for them to come to me ( p.s. these were shot with the .17hmr mouse wrecker ) 8 Quote Link to post

Alsone 789 Posted May 21, 2020 Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 You shouldn't have got the .223 out to that lower one. Gives mouse guns a bad name. People will be shooting rats with them next after seeing that. 1 Quote Link to post

Good job your doing, get them mopped up before the birds turn up. The bottom one was very close, maybe 25-30 yards, top one was a little further, maybe 50 2 Quote Link to post

It’s ok if you are shooting them in the area you want to bait, because it spreads them far and wide, a bit like putting cat food out 2 1 Quote Link to post

When I use to shoot crows with a 6mm I use to see their two wings go off twirling in the air. The 70g TNT's were mustard. 1 3 Quote Link to post

Stavross 15,818 Posted May 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) Nothing to do with any of this but thought I’d share it anyway, last week I put some fake grass down at a day nursery in a place called guisborough, now this place is opening for NHS workers kids and now they can’t go outside until we lay it again at more cost to the owner and half a days wages for me as it wouldn’t be right to charge them again, I wouldn’t want to be whoever took it if the owner of the nursery’s find out who they are, he didn’t build his empire by being nice to people, TW*TS I hope they get what the deserve Edited May 21, 2020 by Stavross 1 2 Quote Link to post
