Tikka Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Mrs Tikka bought me the book that accompanies the TV programme "Wild Gourmets" for Christmas. One page in particular was very interesting, so I've scanned it and posted it below. I doff Mon Chapeau to the first one to spot the deliberate mistake........

foxshot Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Perhaps he is very good at stalking reds and snuck close enough to batter it to death with the air rifle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eldon Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Don't scoff just cos your rifles don't do 30,000 fps. Last time I checked mine it was close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Should have added it has to be a .177, the .22 are nowhere near as fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
