Snared fox this morning. Was sitting up on a wall in no distress whatsoever, 1 34gm load of BB later and one less lamb killer in the world

Lads,
All compliments are filed and logged. Thank you for your kind words.

JohnG,
One less to worry about.
That predator has a formidable canine sweet tooth.

BTW John what is attached to your barrel toward the business end?

At one time he looked like this character.

Yeah Psittacosis that's the old one, I posted new ones today. I must have done preview and not pressed submit. D'oh

Let's try again...

This fox I got in the same little gully as the last one. She had much much lighter in colour fur than the other one. I also found a splattered BB pellet in her fur, I was surprised really how flattened it was, I'd say it bounced off a stone. Also pictured are my deben electronic ear protectors, I don't miss the ringing in my ears one bit, they're worth every penny I put towards them.

Did you stretch and dry them?I have stretched and dried a lot of rabbit skins in order to start tanning them, in fact I just got my potash aluminium today to start.

Yeah,i normslly stretch them over whatever is handy and dry them in the shed.I used to treat them with borax when i was a kid but stopped seeing the point.What do you plan to do with the skins?

Musashi

what type/make of rifle is that wally?, if you dont mind me asking.....

I'm guessing a Browning Lever Rifle! Do I win a prize?

Umiq88

Havent been out shooting rabbits in a while and forgotten exaclty how much wildlife the irish countryside acctually has to offer. Was shooting around kildare and the amount of magpies there is unreal. Only had the rifle with me so was restricted to rabbits but maybe restricted isnt exactly the right word.

Didnt get a chance to count them yet but the dog will be happy for a good while anyway

PAIMEI

Some of the crows and pigeons myself and a mate shot form 3-5 last saturday evening. I was suprised at how they kept flighting even with all the banging considering the time of the day..

PAIMEI

Caught my first mink this day last week, on the eve of the ducks too, very fitting I thought. They're agressive little buggers, check out teeth in the second shot.

Finn had a great day on Saturday. He made a fine retrieve on a difficult runner. More importantly Sunday dinner was a little bit special.

Thinkfirst banned for muppetry. Responses deleted to wipe the thread clean. Guys, if you see stuff like this, hit the report button, don't feed the trolls. It might take me a while to spot it on a weekend, but either myself or Rew or Civdef will find it and delete it pretty quickly, especially once it's reported.

Howdy folks,

Here are a couple of foxes I got last night, one was rotten with mange, the other had it just starting on him. 2 dog foxes, sorry for the squeamish but there is some blood in one but no sausages!

Fox one, mange
Fox two

Bolt is closed on the shotgun but it was fully unloaded and checked.

Got this dog fox last night while persuing another fox who went and got away on me, nice not to have had to go home emptyhanded! Shot @ 53 yards from a spot that was very high above him.
