We join Mat Manning on a hectic shooting session as he targets grey squirrels with ambush tactics. These destructive pests cause a lot of damage to trees and other woodland wildlife, and Mat shares some top tips to help you shoot more on your hunting ground.
Also in this week’s episode, Mat takes a close look at the Umarex ReadyAir Compressor. This portable compressor from John Rothery Wholesale offers a fast and simple solution to keep PCP airguns filled up and can even be powered by a car battery.

The early bird catches the worm, but the bully Squirrel gets a pellet in it’s ear 😂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Oh my god I have not heard the name "John Rothery" since the 60's and 70's when we had a gun shop in Portsmouth by that name, it was always my go to shop at the time, nice if it was the same family!!

@ShootingCountryTV 11 ай бұрын

I believe it was the same family, Martin. They started out with retail outlets, and it's the right part of the world. All the best. Mat

Enjoyed the video The brk seems to make a slight crack when it fires, looks nice and compact.👍

I didn't notice that the BRK was particularly loud, so it could be to do with the microphone. Thanks for watching. Mat

@johnclark1925 11 ай бұрын

Every single grey taken down helps preserve the reds in the border areas where grey and red meet. It might seem pointless in areas where there are no reds, but keeping the population down there helps prevent the spread and grey replenishment in areas like North Wales, The Lake District (my home) and Scotland. Keep up the good work.

@ShootingCountryTV 11 ай бұрын

That's right, John. And the benefit is even wider reaching as grey squirrels have a negative impact on virtually all our native woodland wildlife. All the best. Mat

Nice video Mat, think I need my own cameraman for my Channel🤣

Try using lavender to stop the midges from biting that’s if you like the smell good shooting as always .

@ShootingCountryTV 11 ай бұрын

Thanks for the tip. I'll give it a try. All the best. Mat

It also helps if you start car engine as you fill gun

Hey Matt , what tripod are you using and where can you buy it please. Great vids thanks.

It's a Primos Trigger Stick Tripod. Distributed in the UK by John Rothery Wholesale. All the best. Mat

Nice one, keep up the good work, they all need to go if we are ever to get the REDS BACK 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Thanks Martin. You're absolutely right. And the benefit goes much, much further, as grey squirrels have a negative impact on virtually all of our native woodland wildlife. All the best. Mat

Where did you get your beanbag seat? I’ve looked everywhere. Even asked in the sportsman gun centre.

@ShootingCountryTV 11 ай бұрын

Range Right and John Rothery Wholesale supply beanbag seats like mine. Retailers who deal with them should be able to source one for you. Good luck. Mat

Is the gun sub 12?

@ShootingCountryTV 11 ай бұрын

That is a very good question. This one was running at about 15ft/lb - sorry I didn't point that out. All the best. Mat

@The-Ratbasher 11 ай бұрын

I'd love to be having a go at the Squirrels Mat, but never seen ay on my permissions, and none of the landowners have mentioned them. So looks like I'll have to get looking ?. lol More blimmin door knocking. Sheesh.

@ShootingCountryTV 11 ай бұрын

Not seeing grey squirrels is a good sign - at least they aren't wrecking the woods. That said, even if you don't see them, it could be worth putting up a bait station. You might be surprised by what turns up. All the best. Mat

@The-Ratbasher 11 ай бұрын

Cheers Mat. There is a wood on one of my permissions that I saw a Squizlet a few years ago. Just before it exploded when I hit it with the old side by side. lol

When did squirrels become an evasive species?

@paulswift4562 11 ай бұрын

Grey squirrels have always been an invasive species in the UK. Reducing their numbers helps native red squirrels as well as songbirds.

@reservedone1791 11 ай бұрын

I'd understood they were introduced by the Victorians late 19th century as a way of adding some interest to London's parks.

@Thegreyreaperuk 11 ай бұрын

I live in County Durham and we have red colony’s up here so Grey control in these areas is an absolute must. We constantly monitor one of our colony’s for grey incursion and since taking out the greys we had in the area we’ve only seen one grey interloper since October but the Red sightings have gone up to at least 10 different animals as can be seen on my channel.

@ShootingCountryTV 11 ай бұрын

Grey squirrels have been an invasive species since their introduction to the UK. Apart from contributing to the decline of our native red squirrel, they cause major damage to trees and have a serious negative impact on a wide range of woodland wildlife including birds and small mammals. All the best. Mat
