    Thanks to a couple good buggers on here with help. Got my Marlin 25N with a Vortex 4-16 mounted. Longest shot so far 180m a few from 70-150m just need to get better at reading the wind and knowing the drift.

    I don't have anywhere to legally trap them so when I buy one I'll write up a thread if I have much luck.

    Sure was. Just the back legs will easily feed 4 of us. Still got the back steaks in the fridge.

    I would be keen to hear how you get on @Russian22. I have watched them working on foxes etc, I don't see why they wouldn't work on cats, ferrets etc. I have often thought about getting one also. Let me know how you get on.

    It'll be a bit of a wait I'm sorry. Should hopefully receive my license at the end of June. But I'll report back if I get anything.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
