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.

Ok, thanks.
"shoot them in the face" sounds like wildlife bukkake.

The animals don't get much of a chance
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.

But my mates are brutal, they'd use grenades if they had them
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.

Not really.
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.
