Comment : Hi
Thankyou so much for your informed web site I have learnt a lot just
from using your pages and your links. I found you on youtube.com.
It's really hard to learn about this kind of pest control "the does
and don'ts". I'm only starting out. It's not a subject most people
want to talk about.
Question? When I kill a rabbit, rat, pigeon and don't want to eat it
(rabbit) what should I do with the bodies, gut them and leave them?
Many thanks Dave

Thankyou for your entry
I have on the odd occasion left shot pests near a fox den, but the
majority is taken home and disposed of properly
many cut the turf and bury them under it in the field, but they
shouldn't be left for someone (or their dog) to find
there's nothing nice about a dog finding a dead animal and rolling
about on it, or eating it then going home and bringing it back up on
the carpet

Yes it is 12ft/lb
the foxes were shot, not shot at
One humane shot, producing a clean kill, as I'm required by UK law
to do
This is part of pest control, and as the warning said on the front

Comment : An excellent website, very informative and just one man
trying to help a multitude to hunt. I am new to England. Quite
familiar with firearms but not much with air rifles. I am planning
to buy a Weihrauch HW77/97 K. Which calibre do you suggest for
rabbit hunting,.22 or .177? Also, is there a way I could find out
places I could hunt rabbits on near Coventry? I greatly appreciate
your help. Thanks.
Site
rating : 10/10 Excellent
09 February 2007 21:38:53
Answer :
Thankyou for your entry
Personally, I'd suggest a .22 for rabbits
.177 are excellent for penetration (such as corvids & pigeons) when
you have to get through the feathers before causing the fatal blow
I've experimented with .22 and .177 on a dead squirrel laid on a
tree stump @ 20 yards
the .177 went straight through the head and the squirrel barely
moved
the .22 went straight through the head, but the squirrel was also
knocked off the stump, and landed almost a metre away
A method I use is
www.multimap.co.uk and view it in Overlay mode
this allows you to find likely places, and then you can go knocking
on doors (asking in person is the only way to gain to permission)
Hope this helps

Comment : Hi Andy
Just been getting some good advice from your website, I am looking
into purchasing a multi-shot air riffle with silencer and scopes in
order to deal with a rabbit problem on my local golf course, I
noticed the problem last year and no one believes that this has been
dealt with for this golf season so here is hoping I can get some
sort of agreement with them as I also know a market butcher who is
willing to take those darn Bugs Bunnies off of my hands, (at a price
of course.
Any ideas on how I could approach the club more successfully and
"have some fun" at the same time, I have used air rifles in the past
but many years ago, I thought a Gunpower Stealth Euro Hunter kit, OR
a BSA Superten Carbine Realtree Combo, (what do you think Andy)
Any advice or guidance would be appreciated, I also live just
minutes away from Christchurch gun Club, great setting and suggest
that if anyone is in the area they visit the place, all are made
welcome, guests just simply turn up and make their selves known to
the members, "have fun"
(6 out of ten on the site rating, my reason, WELL we can all seek to
improve things in our lives)

Answer :
Thankyou for your entry
The problem I find with Golf Clubs is their safety concerns
regarding air rifles, last thing they want is members thinking they
are being shot at, or worse, getting shot.
My local Golf Club only allows ferreting around the greens, fairways
and club house (fear of damage to members' cars).
But depending on the layout, they may allow shooting off the course.
The man you need to see is the Head Greenkeeper, go see him and
explain how you are a valuable asset to the club, what methods you
intend to use, and don't forget to mention that you are willing to
work with him in controlling the pests.
Good luck.
With regards to your choice of rifles, it's personal choice.
Handle your shortlist, and see what feels right.
A rifle should hopefully be a once in a lifetime purchase, and
buying something you're not comfortable with will only spoil your
enjoyment, and your accuracy.
Hope this helps.

Gaining permission is something only you can do
It can take a lot of knocking on farmer's doors to get that 1st
piece of land.
Good luck!
The Webley Exocet is capable of killing rabbits, but I recommend
getting it tuned as it only produces around 10.5ft/lb, but can be
tuned to almost 12ft/lb
Hope this helps

Shame you felt the need to hide your name and use a bogus email

My tales are true accounts of my hunting trips, I tell it as it is,

Shame you only rated my site as 1/10, when you thought they were

Squirrels are very easy to see in October, it's the movement that
attracts your attention, then when you spot the squirrel, the shot
is taken when it pauses in the open.

As you rightly quoted from the
BASC's website
they RECOMMEND those listed as suitable quarry
It also says;
Always ensure that your air rifle is suitably powered for the
quarry you intend to shoot and do not attempt a shot of more than 35
metres.
and
Always despatch wounded quarry quickly and with the minimum of
suffering.
With a headshot at less than 10 yards, there was no suffering, and
no second shot needed, although it is frowned upon by many, no law
was broken
