Pump-action squirrel hunt

- Paul Childerley and Johnny Muston are on a squirrel-shooting mission - and they knock down a couple of dozen. The invasive grey squirrels are damaging trees, pheasant feeders, and are all set to prey on the songbird nesting season. By shooting out the squirrels' dreys, Johnny and Paul can reduce numbers, and so reduce the damage they cause.

Why shoot grey squirrels?
Grey squirrels are invasive pests, not native to the UK. They impact on our native wildlife, raiding nests to prey on eggs and fledglings, and they are responsible for the decline in native red squirrel numbers, likely because they carry but are immune to the parapox virus, which is fatal to red squirrels . The Wildlife Trusts estimate there are only around 140,000 native red squirrels left in the UK, compared to 2.5 million grey squirrels.
Grey squirrels cause damage to trees such as beech, oak, sycamore and chestnut. They strip bark at the base of trees which causes them to weaken and eventually to die. The UK Forestry Commission estimates grey squirrels causes £6-10 million damage to British forestry per year.
Grey squirrels have been known to damage houses and buildings by chewing on woodwork, insulation and electrical wires. They can also contaminate cold water tanks with urine and droppings. It has been illegal to keep grey squirrels (without a licence) since 1937, and it is illegal to release them into the wild.
Grey squirrels’ predators include stoats, goshawks and foxes, leaving gamekeepers, foresters and airgunners to do the main job of eradicating them. A coalition of airgunners across Anglesey successfully removed grey squirrels from the island. Other groups in Cumbria and Cornwall aim to do the same, with support from the government and private enterprise.

more squirrel and pest control videos please! :)
Three male squirrels in the nest we all know what that means-all male squirrel dance club. Good job boys we need to break these illegal gatherings up.
I just got in from outside with my norinco m97 winchester 1897 clone 12 gauge . Very cool pump action and i was blasting 75 meters away and making metal go TING . Oh yeah i was only using lowbrass #6 heavy game lead load . Very cool shotgun that does damage even at distance.
Yes, they are a menace. They get into everything. They are always wrecking my birdfeeder, and I’ll take shots at them with my blowgun. Double lung.
Also, specifically with grey squirrels. They’ve completely taken over, and run off the beautiful black squirrels that we had here. Haven’t seen one for over 10 years.
I think the grey ones have a disease that the red ones cant fight the same...
Awesome video , I'm struggling to find a permission for squirrels at the moment.
Great video keep up the good work 👍
I have now witnessed this man go after squirrels with a 22. 250 and a 12gauge pump action shotgun I am assuming he dosnt really like squirrels that much...... But I suppose at least he won't be accused of not having enough gun for the job.
Remington 870 is the job! Do you need a restricted license for the mag extension in the UK?
Thanks for this. You need a Firearm Certificate for this, where you have to show what it's for. You can have a two-shot magazine shotgun on a Shotgun Certificate, which is less onerous. / Charlie
Good job gents 👍🏻 satay squirrel for dinner 😋
I’ve a benelli m2 that cycles 21gram gamebore evo which is an ideal close range rat cartridge
Get Ricky from trailer park boys to get em.
Superb, bag them critters!
Prefer a .410 for it.
Quick tip for a fellow squirrel hunter in the US. Use a Turkey Choke. I personally use a Kicks Gobblin Thunder but there are several available from different manufacturers. Good luck!
I’d happily pay for a day out squirrel shooting
Buy a Winchester SX3 problem solved
Guys, you are DEFINITELY using too small caliber. Why won't you try uranium anti-tank darts instead?
I’m sorry shooting into a nest is wrong morally. I won’t watch any more of your videos
Squirrels are pests here in this area like mice or rats.
Shooting into drays is perfectly acceptable. Grey squirrels are tree rats and need eradicating at any cost otherwise our local songbird population and red squirrel population will never stand a chance.
Is ok if I shot them for the table(food)?
I’ve never hunted anything that was not food. You can shoot squirrels and hit them hard with out shooting into nests. Where I live it’s illegal. I don’t care for it. You have fun but I will not be watching
@@johnmoore6206 grey squirrel are not indigenous to this country. They where imported from the Americas. Aside the damage they do they have practically over run our native red squirrels. Controlling them is a necessity if we want to keep our native red squirrels abundant.
shoot in the nests? You are not hunters! sh*ts
Before you pass judgement Francesco, have a read of the information provided above by Fieldsports, detailing the array of adverse impacts which Grey Squirrels have on the UK. Given the significant environmental and economic damage this animal causes, I think the 'shooting of nests' is a totally justified action. Well done to Paul and Johnny - good shooting boys, keep it up!
No it’s pest control .
@@brucegraham8518 sorry, I'm an Italian hunter. In Italy this hunting is strictly forbidden, because there are few squirrels.
Not hunting buddy. It’s pest control.
@@francescol4599 Thats why this isnt hunting, it is pest control on a bunch of little twats
