Predators are adaptable, over here you are more likely to see a Fox in the city than in the countryside.

gamekeeper

We have a lot less in the predator department over here so the rabbits can become a plague unless decimated by disease. It happened in Australia and they imported myxomatosis from south America and then it was spread in the UK illegally by farmers in 1953. The latest disease HRD was first seen in 20...

Been here since re-registering in 2007 but doing more with shotguns now..

gamekeeper

Welcome back....

what have you been up to

gamekeeper

Jay the rabbits used to be very consistent but the disease they got a few years ago has desimated their numbers just after they had made a comeback from myxomatosis which was spread by farmers in the 1950s

We have brown hares and mountain hares here too.

My son and his wife are in Poland visiting friends so I'm home alone looking after their dog.
Weather has been good 75 and pleasant, I saw the rarest of the rare this morning an actual Rabbit

sure hope their numbers increase might make up for the lack of Squirrels.

gamekeeper

Congratulations on your new granddaughter

Yup I'm seeing birds but Squirrels are scarce

the Greys are strictly controlled up here to give the Reds a chance of making a comeback.

I guess the float planes will have to stay on my bucket list for a while, I can't see one landing on the lake here. That Dakota looks awesome 8) Saw another Partridge with half a dozen day old chicks but it's been raining nearly all day so I don't give much chance of them surviving :( Enjoying the n...

gamekeeper

Bill, I've not heard of the Bam/xisico but they certainly look interesting 8) I have a few 21.14gr Barracuda pellets my son gave me but haven't tried them yet, I agree that heavy pellets have more clout but UK law limits air rifles to only 12 foot pounds at the muzzle so you're lucky if you can get ...

after years of using .177 I'm relearning the rainbow trajectory of the .22

gamekeeper

It's a handsome air rifle John. Any idea who builds it? Harder to find the wood-stocked version here these days. Bill I believe the action is a XS19 from China, I have seen some pretty awful guns come out of China but they seem to have built this one right. I don't know what Remington has to do wit...

My Deer wasn't racing just running across a duel carriageway

unfortunately I was racing at 75 mph I kinda won that one..

gamekeeper

My little Norica Thor gas ram has lost power and required urgent parts replacement, so I decided to replace it with the Remington Pest Controller, I chose .22 even though my preference is .177 as my old fingers are too slow getting those little .177 pellets in the breech. So far I'm pleased and impr...

You certainly get to see some beautiful country when on two wheels that you probably wouldn't get to see even in a Jeep.... :D love the photos especially the one with the float plane, always wanted to have a flight in one.

My RWS Hobby pellets arrived today, I'm impressed so far they seem very accurate but the wind is blowing a hooley so I've only fired about 10 shots and they sound a lot faster.

AMEN.....

The last .177 I was using was spitting them out at about 770fps, when my son buys his high-powered air rifle he will expect unbelievable to me velocities, I just prefer .22 Lr when I need that sort of power but there are quite a few places that request only airguns to be used for pest control...

gamekeeper

I don't have a chronograph but according to reviews I have seen with average to heavy .22 pellets out of a sub 12 FTP rifle velocity is between 550 to 600 FPS the lightweight pellets should be well above 600 FPS, UK law restricts air rifles to 12 FTP at the muzzle. My son has a slot on his licence f...

Mother Partridge down to eight chicks today but weather should stay dry and warm for a few more days I need to get used to the trajectory of these .22 pellets they sure ain't as flat shooting as the .177 I missed an easy 30+ yard shot on a Jackdaw :( just ordered some RWS Hobby flat head @11.9g mayb...

Have a Great Day........

gamekeeper

I'm hoping to try a few different pellets as the Bisley pest control are hollow points and I can't see that as an advantage at 600fps I have always preferred round nose pellets. Does the guy at work use .22 or.177? I have always preferred .177 but lately it has taken me twice as long to get the tiny...

I dug out the MaCullock weed wacker and mowed down the Daffodils, I was surprised how easily it started after so long without use, I only started it up once over winter.

My new Remington airgun is coming along ok, I need to try a few different pellets and can't wait to try it out on Squirrels.

Stunning.

Like all guns airguns can be persnickety in their choice of ammo, when you find out what they like it's best to stick with it. I have just tried some Milbro TR at about 14.4 that my son had, :D it seems to like them but l want to try even lighter pellets for more velocity. I will pass on your congra...
