Good bit of shooting mate, but I hate to see foxes shot, such a waste of dog work,

Why cant you shooters just blast away at targets :D not much fun in shooting a fox surely :blink:

 

Have no choice mate. :no: When a farmer rings to say he has lambs being taken, i find the rifle the best option. :yes:

 

Had lurchers ect years ago, found it harder to get permission, as most farmers who have sheep, over here anyway, dont like to see dogs around the place at lambing time. ;)

Dont see why a dog should get all the pleasure from tacking a fox!!

its very rewarding when you call a fox or just plain see one and shoot it at long range. :ph34r:

 

Well i do realise you got to train a dog first, the problem is the bugger i got cant whistle worth a crap... ha ha. :laugh:

nice shooting there frank :good: hope i can upgrade next year and get some long range shooting done , personal best so far is a fox at 272 yds give or take a yard

 

My personal bests are hare @ 321 yards with rangefinder ,roe @ 354 yards with rangefinder ,fox @ 282yards with rangefinder.

 

My mate shot a woodie with his .243 last week @ 428 yards , now thats impressive , again checked with rangefinder.

Its more sporting and satisfying hunting with dogs, I agree :yes: , but you just can't beat the high powered rifles for vermin control, absoluteley lethal....each to there own, its all hunting :yahoo:

Frank is it ilegal to lamp with a rifle or shotgun at night over here mate?

 

NO. Its not ileagle to lamp here, as long as you have permission from the land owner and are not shooting off public roads ect, its fine. Theirs a lot of ignorance over here when it comes to lamping at night. :rolleyes:

Their is no written law over here to say it is ileagle. :no:

Common sense comes into a lot of it aswell. :yes:

I have been lamping for 19 years over here and never came across a problem yet.
