I control the squirrels on the estate with traps, poison is not allowed, so walk the trap lines daily with a shotgun shooting a few and reseting the Fenn Mk4 tunnel traps.

A few from yesterday evening

So out early yesterday morning!

Coming to the end of the season for deer in the UK but took this fox while following the Fallow herds, I keep the foxes under control to assist the ground nesting birds in the area

I often take my lunch break at a squirrel bait station and shoot a few while I eat my sandwiches, great fun :thumbsup:

good spotting @Billbob Yes it is stinging nettle . . not to much fun getting down behind the gun in a field of it but its got to be done, its the worst part of the farm for rabbits but the good news its all in the 200 to 300 range which is perfect for this rifle.Quote:

Bit of a average night last night. Missed a couple, swap rifle did a little better, plenty hopped off before I could draw a bead. Claggy evening, mist/fog up high, very light rain.
