Wish SMUK were still operational, could do with a couple of those bait stations.

If you want to see how effective bait stations are watch this guy’s vid’s.

That feeder looks great but I use a flip flap as if using peanuts the birds have a field day , I use wheat and they still hammer that but if water gets in it germinates and blocks the feed and then the they start ripping into it lol also I would add a platform across the bottom for them to sit on will feeding just a piece of ply across the bottom sticking out one side about 10" square will do. I was out the other morning 6.30 till 10am

There was a guy selling them at the Stalking show. Steel and a brilliant design. Made in West Midlands. At present I can't find his Brochure. He also makes top end hot dip galvanised high seats. I expect a Google search will track him down.

Good result, what rifle did you use? Looks like a decent quality gun slip as well

Used the .22 Brno as safe backstop etc , usually use the AA Fac .22 510 extra but changing the scope on it , yea I like the Ogdens gear have the Quadlite an it takes my .223 rone pro x10 and IR on top no bother at all

Brno all the way!

I'm fortunate in that this permission is a series of private narrow valleys with step banks and soft backstops.

Another half dozen fall the Brno , cant beat them for accuracy , well done
