Airgunners Helping Mother Nature

Post by grmkc »

Hunting rabbits is just one of the ways we help mother nature keep her balancing act viable. There are other activities us air gunners partake in to also support that cause.

We go Birding.

We go Ratting, and

We go Fishing.

All in the name of environmental management and just having great fun Pesting. And then there are those who go Foxing with their 0.25 Evanix PCP, if they would like to chime in.

Turned the royale down to low power and smacked a few mice sometime last year. Shooting mice is definately fun. You can also see how small they are when compared to the oats on the ground.
Cheers

I've shot a few foxes with my air rifles, this absolute cracker of a fox was dropped in his tracks with a .25 PCP after coming to the whistle.

And one of my favourite targets of all times, probably one of the first things to fall to my air rifles when I was a kid and I still love shooting them.

helping mother nature doing this ? Probably .... I guess ? :wink:

Taken with my Air Arm Prosport.

Living in a sheep growning area the Arrk Arrk bird is a target here. Normally shot on the properties where I hunt with fast stepping centerfires, a few fall to the airguns but not many.

Well done :D
