lewismac1 1 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 and once you get a second barrel you wish you have a semi auto..... i realise that a airgun wouldent be suffienct for a fox. would a HMR 17 or 22 be alright for clearing snares? A .410 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

clabby 14 Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 ducks are good at playing dead if they have been injured they put it on my mate used to have ducks and his rotti had caught one and brought it in the house and tryed using it as a chew toy we took it off the duck and put it in a box a few days later my mate was having to chase it around the house to catch it if you are going to snare it then dont shoot it with a air rifle its cruel and it will probs suffer get a spade and use the edge and rap it round its neck so it brakes its neck its more humane that way. its better to have some one with a rifle wait for it and shoot it ulternitivly you can get devices that let off a hi pitched noise that send the foxes running if they trip the sencer you can get them off ebay mole valley farmers or country stores Quote Link to post Share on other sites
