End of season

Now the the season has ended for another year, there is still the question about if the shooting season should be moved. With February always proving a cold, wet and snowy month (remember 1963, worst snow fall ever and yes the month i was born) is there a case for moving the shooting season on 1 month? therfore shooting from begining of November to end of February. One question no doubt will take years to answer let alone implement.

So now the seaon is over what next? Well for the land owners, game keepers etc they can have a rest before getting on with cleaning / disinfecting the rearing pens and feeders etc so can be stored cleaned and ready fior the start of the season. So what product should you use?

There are a few available but unfortunately they all need mixing and usually water with powder which gives of an awfull and possible dangerous aroma, well we have found a very good product which from there spec sheets is far better then anything else available (unless you know different!!?) this product is made in the UK and shipped worldwide to help in the prevention of notifiable diseases such as TB, Bird Flu and more, the best part is it is mixing a liquid to a liquid which make it far better for you. When mixed this product will last for upto 6 months thus reducing waste, can be used for boot washes, cleaning cattle troughs, barns and equipment. Safe to use around animals and is DEFRA Approved.



So, as a shooter, what do we do next?? well i am sure the farmers and land owners will be onlt to pleased for us to offer our services for vermin control ie rabbits, foxes, pigeons etc, whether you are a shotgun or rifle user they all need keeping under control. Lamping rabbits and foxes at night can be very enjoyable if you go out in pairs, not only for the company but one with the rifle one with the lamp. If you are going out alone the having the use of a night vision scope can be the most usefull piece of kit you can have next to a gun. I have used the ATN PS22 for nearly 12 months and is superb in every way, light, compact easy to take on and off and it works!









While the cost may be more than some what to spend, why not buy between a few friends and share the cost as it is fully flexible to fit all scope sizes as all you need to do is purchase the correct shims to fit individual scopes.

Look forward to hearing your views and comments.
