I use a scoped 10/22 for the bunnies
Just a shame that I still need to find a farmer who will let me have exclusive use of his land. I've pretty much visited all of them in a 5-10 mile radius and they all have people shooting on their land already. That's the hardest part....finding somewhere suitable Taffy |

Were they prepared to sign your shooting rights declaration for the Police? this sounds promissing as there's a few golf clubs nearby Cheers Taffy |

If you already have it on your ticket (particularly an "open" authority) then all you need is permission (preferably written) from the land-owner, such as the golf course and you'll be OK.
I "hunt" occasionally. Don't really get the time, but when I do, I use my M4gery's in both .22 and .223. The .223 makes a real mess of the bunnies though, especially with Speer 50gn TNT's. Haven't shot any foxes as I never seem to see any but did get a deer a couple of years ago with my .260 at a measured 438yds. Mark |

I'll only get it added to my licence by having somewhere to shoot with evidence of that. Getting an "open" ticket would require me to have been shooting/hunting already for quite some time. I'll take it step by step And see what happens Taffy |

Air Rifles are for Ghey's
I hunt, obviously, as I was mentioned in the first post! Mainly ickle creatures, Rabbits, Magpies, Pigeons, Squirrel, Crows, and Foxes. 70% of my hunting is rabbit though, with Birds being second as the airfield wants me to clear them so they don't get sucked into engines. I mostly use the .22RF with non magnified sight, in lamplight or during the day. Using HV's. Most are pretty far for .22Rf but it does the job nicely. I also have a shotgun but it's not very good for killing things past 30 yards so it doesn't get a lot of use so far. I intend to use the .223 to clear the longer range rabbits as some are too damn clever for my sneakyness! Dave |

I'm allowed to hunt (according to my FAC that is) Deer, Vermin, Pests, ground game, 'any animal for the protection of other animals' (the old rabies clause), and 'in connection with the running an estate, any other animal'
with 'all the firearms on this FAC', over any land I deem suitable. So with the .22s, .223s, .243, .260, .308, .44/45, 12ga I can decide which rifle I take and what to shoot with it. I suppose I'd have to abide by the minimum energy limits for the deer though, it's only right to. If I'm after rats/mice in buildings the marlin u/l comes out with shot shells, rabbits and rats in the field then it's the 10/22 or the BSA Intl (butchered target rifle) and the Rem1100 shotgun (13shot mag!). Foxes get the M4gery (Bushmaster) treatment, and deer get the 243 (Sako) and 308 (Rem700) (and maybe the 260 in future, but it's so heavy I might just leave as a target gun). Boar will get the 308 whenever the oppotunity arises. I usually leave the foxes if they're not causing trouble as they help with the rabbits, and as a farmer tit's the rabbits that really need controlling. (.44Mag and rabbits is a recipe for a big mess!  )

Here's one I got with my M4gery. 50gn VMax.
It's a bit grim I know, but think of it like this...I happily beheaded this insurgent in revenge, because it was a Talibunny  Mark

Yea thanks for that Matt Ya might as well post pics just to piss me off real good and proper Farmers do have fringe benefits then...... I spent many seasons working on a farm collecting the hay till they brough them darn round things in Hardest money I ever earnt. Taffy Matt i'm sure you'll need someone to help you control those varmin. (Or at least carry all your guns )So you'll sign my shooting authority form   I'll not be doing any hunting till my back is fixed anyway  Taffy |

It's becoming a real ball ache shooting up here just South of the Anglo Scotish divide! I have over 600 acres to play around on a it seems that every time I take a shot or settle down for a zeroing session, some crag rat sticks his head over a fence and says I'm ruining his day................ Nearly all hunting / zeroing is done with moderator firmly attached now as the old bill are starting to get grumbles from the tourists about warfare in the fells?
Any hunting I do now is most certainly at night and limited to as few a shots as possible? For bunny bashing it has to be the quiet CZ452, for fox I still use heavy buckshot or No.2's in my Franchi out a bit further I have taken to using my M4 with M6 Streamlight, but definitely need a Moddy for it. May take a wander up to PHJ's this weekend and push the boat out? Was out "in the field" a fortnight ago with my M4 and bagged a dog fox, missed on first shot, got him with second........ 5 minutes later a mate from town said that he had just heard on the scanner (he's a people watcher) that someone had reported shooting behind their holiday home ...................... The old bill were duly dispatched to a village over 2 miles from where I shot Charlie............... sound sure can travel, I sat on the side of the fell and watched as they hair assed up the valley with lights going............................... you gotta laugh? |

Hello,
Just thought i'd add my bit. I hunt in Bavaria, deer, mainly Roe, with a Sauer 90 in .308 win. Foxes and badger with CZ 527 fox in .222 rem. Duck and other feathered game with my 12 Ga. O&U. I have just put my old K98 mauser 8 X 57 IS in a plastic stock added a 11mm rail and mounted it with a pro-point for those driven hunts for boare. I usually use the Gecco ammo in all my hunting and handgun's, which are:- FN-HP, Glock 17, Colt Detective special & Python, and a Hammerli Exesse. Take care. Tony |

Hiya all,
@ Taffy, dont come over just for the handgun shooting, the octoberfest (Bavarian BEER party) isnt all that far off. Now if some members come over for that, we could manage a trip to the range.... Be good. Tony |
