    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 :D

    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?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,081 ✭✭✭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? :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,559 ✭✭✭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

    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..
