Things i shot as a teenager
with my air rifle

sparrows
swifts
lots of baby rabbits
moles
pheasant (it didn't die)
coypu
moorhen
four male pullets (teenage chickens) point blank in the head to be sure
pike
carp

The trick with the fish is to get them as they surface to eat the breadcrumbs you scatter on the surface of the river. Airgun pellets lose power and accuracy very soon in water, so they have to be a few centimetres from the surface.


I'm not proud.

*EDIT*
Oh yes, and;
Sellotape a frog to a rocket and set it off
Light a banger and stick it in a jam jar full of tadpoles

Not proud of those either.

What about
cats in a wheelie-bin

I'm a little unsure about the banger in a jar of tadpoles.

Seems that the bangers performance might be somewhat compromised.

not true
Bangers stay lit under water. And as for the performance issue, didnt you ever watch Dambusters?

I opened my wheelie bin yesterday, and a wasp flew out of it.

What sick fucker would put a wasp in a wheelie bin?

That they do
Also we used to have these pretty good long bangers where the fuse bit would still stick out of your average jam jar if stuck on end.

I did rather like Frank from The Wasp Factory
However, this does make it all seem a bit sordid and unusual. In truth, most of the local lads in my village used to shoot just about anything that wasn't human, livestock or a pet. It was pretty much the accepted form of male tweenage entertainment.

That book was odd
A friend gave it to me. I didnt see the end coming at all.

He didn't catch them
In traps and then make them fight.

where did you find the coypu?

(Smale is stuffed, Wed 1 Sep 2010, 14:57, closed)

We had a river running through the bottom of our garden (i was a bumpkin, not a posho).
It was actually the river Deben where it gets really narrow and stream-like out in the sticks.

There was a coypu den in the opposite bank about 100m down from where our garden led onto the river. We had a little dinghy.

Again, it didn't die. I think those are the ones i feel most guilty about.

*EDIT*

Actually looking at Wiki, it seems Coypus are from South America. It must have been a large water rat. Ah well, it was a coypu to my fragile eggshell teenage mind.

could have been a coypu
they were once brought over here for their fur. Inevitably some escaped/were released.
(mersault, Wed 1 Sep 2010, 15:29, closed)

Well it did look exactly like the one in the Wiki pic
Tall unusual shaped head. Then again it was a long time ago and could have been a water rat.

Coypu can be found in the Norfolk area.
