Have you ever been chased from a field by a shotgun-wielding maniac? Ever removed city arseholes from your field whilst innocently carrying a shotgun? Tell us your farm stories.

If anyone here knows what lamping entails than I'm sure you'll understand. I always managed to avoid the regular lamping trips my mates would take as the many stories of 'shooting bunnies/squirrels/foxes/badgers in the face' just didn't appeal to me. The one time I went I decided I would never go again. Farmers are funny folk.

So does "Lamping" mean shooting animals at night or picking one's nose?

That gesture means "on the nose" or in simpler terms, "exactly".
Lamping is done with a powerful torch at night, many nocturnal animals freeze in the light, and also because they're blinded they cannot see you. It means you can get up real close and get a good shot.

"shoot them in the face" sounds like wildlife bukkake.

it's cheating really and no decent results, just a bloody mess. A wee rabbit facing a shotgun from 4 metres is literally blown out of existence. No meat is gained.

Well yeah its pest control with a twist. I would think a small bore rifle more appropriate than a shotty though.

The arsenal they possess between them all could fend off zombies for years, plus Ray Mears lives close by and has constructed all sorts of shelters over the land, which are amazing to explore. He teaches courses in the woods on this particular farm.

shooting stuff with a rifle* is rather illegal. Shooting stuff with a shotgun isn't.
*unless you're licensed to cull**
**James Bond's less successful etc etc

Orly? Didnt know that. Even on your own land, when its just pest?
I know using air rifles is ok for small rodents and some birds.

Is that when you go out into fields and help sheep have their babies?

used to lamp from the flatbed of a battered HiLux with spots on the roll cage. While pissed.
One of them happened to let his gun hang by his side, unbroken, just as the driver hit a fuck off ditch. Amazing what damage a shotgun can do to a foot.
Lamping - mostly for idiots.
