hi all, i am a keen airgun hunter and would like to know how many other airguners there are on sf and what gun u shoot, what u shoot, and what kit u use

 

Shot 2 woodies on my back garden for my dinner but i need to know if my 22 air rifle will kill a badger or 2 as i am sick of them digging my newly laid lawn up::

No, a legal power .22 air rifle is not suitable to kill a badger because;

 

a) Although it CAN kill it, the death would most likely be slow and miserable. Not quick and humane.

 

b) It's illegal to kill badgers. Hope you get caught/reported/prosecuted

Hi all

 

Just acquired a BSA air rifle from 1906

 

It needs a bit of work, new piston seal, mainspring, both sights and a few screws to make it shoot but it's not bad to say it's teice as old as me :hihi:

 

 

 

 

Cheers, Biggsy

 

Where did you get it?

Hi RB

 

I got it from a chap in Wales, it was a freebie but he's a watch collector (same as me!) so I sorted half a dozen watches out for him

 

 

He delivered it to my door too!!! (He was travelling from Wales to Durham )

This is completely illegal - you will be in huge trouble if you do. Most people would be thrilled to have such amazing animals in their garden, just live with it & learn to appreciate them.

True regarding the Badgers but woodies are on the DEFRA list as a pest and so can be taken with an airgun as long as no projectiles leave the property and the shooter is 15 yards (Er, I think!) from the centre of the nearest highway..

 

Also it goes without saying the permission is required from the landowner otherwise it's deemed as armed tresspass....

 

 

I think a fullbore rifle would be needed for Badgers as they're tough critters, I was amazed (and thrilled!) when I had a badger on our back a few years ago!!, It was fantastic to see one walking around as opposed to seeing them still at the side of Bochum Parkway
