First mink!!

Even the worlds best target shooter might have a problem shooting an enraged mink at close range with an air rifle with telescopic sights, it's not going to sit still & look at you. I would have stood on the b'stard & not bothered with the sights.

I agree though, using words like fluke could be used negatively, even though 90% of us would have done the same. The difference is that we know what it's actually like to be out there amongst it, instead of believing the bullshite anti propaganda that certain sections of our society take as gospel.....

That would have been my solution Mal. Though with my eyesight I'd probably have shot meself in the foot....

 

And I don't doubt that if hiho had winged the animal and incapacitated it then a head-shot would have followed as soon as possible. If, as Jamie stated, hiho's only 13 and learning, then he's learned about footwork

There was no malice intended in my original post.

Age is irrelevent.

 

My point was simply that the anti's will use this as an example of just blasting away without a thought that the animal might suffer. We're constantly exhorted not to take shots unless we can guarantee a head shot. We can't have it all roads.

 

Don't bend this to imply that I don't think the mink should have been killed. I know what devastation they can wreak to the local wildlife.

Dont worry about the antis theyll make stuff up anyway they are scum who have no lives n cant bear others to my thinking is do whatever you like when you like n bo ocks to em dont give em a thought cos doing so is a victory for them

'Don't worry about the anti's' was what the foxhunting fraternity probably thought.

 

I can't see any point in making life easier for them, which your attitude most certainly would.
