I have just been asked by a local guy if he can shoot squirrels in small wooded area we have, I asked what he was going to shoot them with? his answer .22 rifle.....

My question is, is it legal to shoot squirrels and pigeons up in the tree's?

I presume you mean a .22rf and not a .22 air rifle?Legal, yes (happy to be corrected) actions of a safe and responsible shooter? No.

This time of year good bags of squirrels can be had using a rimfire to shoot squirrels that are scurrying around gathering food from the floor

I had 12 on my previous outing and another 10 or so on my latest outing which brings the total up to about 60 this year I think.

What you using on them? Shotgun or rifle

22lr. Shotgun was good but the noise meant longer between shots as the rest of them went into hiding!

Of out in the morning with .22 PCP air rifle, so fingers crossed all will go ok

Yesterday I got my Pard ds35-50 back!
It was never sent back! My RFD chap spoke to the importer and they advised I try it again.
Okay so we fired it up in the shop and it looked normal!
So I've refitted it and it's been ok, ratting as well.
So I have no idea why the image was all grainy day or night mode.
Had a slight mishap with one squirrel that went missing but Jess soon found it and fixed it.

6 for me this morning....


......then a bonus 7th on my way back to the car.....



......rapidly followed by a Brucie-bonus 8th which made the bad career move of pausing to see what had just happened to #7......

Then mate. I'm still thinking I'll get one..I fudged up a bit - got an atn ltv to go on 204 but because Ruger mounting system is so limiting, can't fit rings either side of 'box' in middle of atn!! So I've put it on 22rf so still need something to go on 204.

Ben, I think a Zulus is way better for the 204. The ds35-50 struggles around 200 plus. You'll see it but it's never crystal!

Trouble is mate I don't want it on a rail as it makes it too high, want it in 30mm rings

 

[merlin]

......so I had a bit of spare time this afternoon so nipped out to my other squirrel feeder.......



Add a further 4 to the day's total.

 

[Smellydog]

Rattled three more this afternoon with the 410.

 

[merlin]

......I've sometimes mused what the collective dent in the UK grey squirrel population the SD members make each year.......

 

[Smellydog]

I've shot hundreds over the last few years, last year I had about 60 in the garden alone!

Alpex 4k lrf is the answer
