    Stoat Down!

    Recently, with my Air Arms S510 Ultimate Sporter Extra .22 air rifle!:

    Wow! The ultimate in Pest Control! A first for me….

    I’ve been after him for 4 weeks and this time I got lucky! Stoats are continually on the move - they never stop and therefore very tricky to shoot, especially with an air rifle!
    This fellah stopped for 2 seconds beside our hedge….

    Got him!
    I’m a happy chappie…

    Tan the skin for the wall. I have one. Skin, brush, flesh, tack on board, mix a paste of Baking soda and Turps, kero, or petrol ( what ever is at hand), brush on sloppy paste everyday till leather looks white - maybe takes a week, done.

    kero works the best, if you can get it alum powder

    skin it carefully its like hare skin its pretty fragile stuff.


    ok ......cant resist ......just not to break the mold you buggas regard me as
    why are mini skirts called greyhound skirts, cos they are 3" away from the hare
