UK vermin hunter saying hi!

Hello everyone!

I’m Paul, though most folks call me Paul Be Careful—a nickname from childhood, thanks to my mum. Despite this constant warning to avoid calamity, I’ve grown into an adventurous and curious type, with a love for airgun hunting, classic air rifles, and precision shooting here in Somerset, UK. I spend my time tackling small vermin with classic airguns, the occasional PCP, and rimfire, as well as writing about my hunting escapades in my shooting diary. If you fancy a peek, the link is in my signature below.

This seems like an awesome forum. Looking forward to learn and connect with you all here!


Cheers,
Paul

Hi Paul be C, welcome.

Many of us hunt vermin here too, assuming you count deer as vermin (I do!).

In my neck of the woods, we don’t call deer vermin—far too posh for that! But what do we know, eh? Probably just uncultured country bumpkins with a soft spot for Bambi. Thanks for the welcome!

Welcome aboard Paul

Welcome aboard Paul.
Nice part of the uk you are in. Used to visit an old mate in Illminster many years ago

Welcome, I rather enjoy the "rattting" video that come out of the UK from exponents of the art of airgunning. Not to mention rock pigeons, bloody things.

Welcome to the forum Paul. Be Careful what you wish for :)

Welcome to the forum, Paul.

Cheers, Pengy! I couldn’t agree more—Somerset’s a brilliant place to live. I’ve got an amazing permission around Ilminster, some top-notch shooting land.

Thanks, John! Yep, rats, grey squirrels, corvids, feral and wood pigeons, and the odd rabbit are the usual suspects. And every now and then, I might take a fox or a jay for good measure.
