Shooting Update

Called to another local farm last night all seems to be a bit quiet since the Barley has been moved we were lucky enough to shoot two scaly tails and managed to video one of them, have a look at the Video and Gallery page .

Shooting Update

called to one of our local farms last night to see if any scaly tails had returned after we gave them a good hammering over the last few weeks, well there was no sign of them anywhere but the Farmer had a few rabbits he wanted sorting,after a couple of hours my mate had shot one and missed another two mind you they were a little skitty, have a look at both the photo and video page.

The night was not totally wasted as our two foxing mates turned up for a cuppa and a chat

Update New Page Added Fox Photos

Due to poplar demand I have now added a page dedicated to that cunning creature that can cause thousands of pounds worth of damage to the Farmer every year and kills its prey almost in total silence, yes you have got it The Fox alias "Charlie" and "Raynard" whilst myself and my ratting mate have done a bit of Fox shooting using shotguns I would rather leave it to the experts, my two other mates.

 They have many many years of experience in all aspects of field sports and excel in calling and cleanly shooting problematic Foxes if you attempt to shoot any vermin it must be carried out humanely and with the correct kit .

I will update you all shortly with some information on the type of kit they use and will keep a tally on the number of Fox taken so far.

If anyone would require their services please e mail me first until their details are published

In the meantime please take a look at the new page added to this site with some photographs but be aware they are graphic and if you are in any way squeamish please do not open the page

Update May 7th 2011

Well nothing of any real interest to report on until now the other farms we shoot are more or less rat free we must be doing too good a job !!!!!, never mind it gives us plenty of time to sharpen our skills on the targets.

Well now to the update proper, we were invited to have a look at a potential rat problem at a local farm in Pontsticill we had been to this farm six months ago and believe it or not at that time it must have been the cleanest most rat free farm we had been to, well now with a delivery of Barley feed this must have sent out an invite to the local rat population they were now everywhere Hip Hip Horray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

First reccy we done saw rats out in daylight bold as brass with not a care in the world,so out came my day gun an Air Arms S410 in .177 cal and my mates Brocock .22 shooting was a bit tricky as there was both cattle and sheep housed within the barns we had five or six on the first outing along with putting a hole in a piece of alkathene water pipe well I didn't see it I swear !! the farmer was very understanding even with a pen full of very wet sheep,well we still shoot this farm every week and have had between three and seven each time they are now getting wary of us so some trials using bait is now underway I will update you next week, have a look at the photo gallery at the Pontsticill Rat
