[@edwardhurdle5013]

I like your videos because I just purchased the .25 cal version because it gives me an idea of the capability of what it can do. I haven't shot it yet but I will soon. Thanks for the videos! 😎👍🏽

[@mickgarveyairattackmia4722]

Great choice Edward … the .25 is an awesome calibre in any rifle … you are going to love it and thanks for the comment and watching

[@mickgarveyairattackmia4722]

Hi Digga and thanks for the great comments … the greys are relentless on their march forward so we all need to do what you’re doing … great job by the way … think the thread is 1/4-20 unc but others might partially fit

[@robertfinegan1941]

Super video. Thanks for the good advice on ‘Greys’. I am lucky enough to habe a 10acre permission for Greys!😎

[@mickgarveyairattackmia4722]

Thanks Robert for yet another complimentary comment … good to hear you’re all over the greys on your permission … keep up the great work and thanks for watching

[@davemitchell-jv4lj]

Thanks mate … really appreciate your comment and glad you liked it

[@stephenbainbridge4727]

keep up the good work very interesting

[@mickgarveyairattackmia4722]

Thanks Stephen … rest assured I’ll be looking after the reds till my last breath … glad you liked the vid mate

[@digga1973]

Very good video no red squirrels in my area of the UK but still do a fair bit of grey squirrel control mainly off feeders with hw100 .Good way of controlling as minimal disturbance and just take out the target species . Was a lot of squirrel damage on the trees last year with it being so dry . Do you know what size bolt and what thread that is that goes in the trail cam for your DIY mount ? So I can try find a supplier for bolt and wing nut already got vine eyes .

[@davidsimpson2685]

I’m doing my bit but there must be a squirrel factory nearby 🤣😂.

[@mickgarveyairattackmia4722]

Hi David … great to hear your in the greys … it needs us all to keep at them as they are non stop in their march north … thanks for the comment and your commitment

[@JamesBrown-js3lm]

Very few reds in my neck of the woods but grays are everywhere.

[@alancummings7107]

I have shot since I was 16 but only got a permission at the age of 62 five minutes drive from home 🤷‍♂️.

[@mickgarveyairattackmia4722]

Hi Alan .. great to hear you got that permission … guard it with your life and enjoy every second of being there … and 5 mins away !! That’s awesome

[@BionicRusty]

Always the same, Alan. 😄

[@rogerdavies2319]

Can I ask what trail cams you use and do you not find they get misted up in the winter?. Great video . Thanks.

[@mickgarveyairattackmia4722]

Hi Roger … I’m using a few different TC’s … probably nearly 40 … I have had the odd one mist up but generally not … oh and thanks for the comment mate

[@MrBoab67]

great video, what camo jacket is that you are wearing?

[@mickgarveyairattackmia4722]

Hi and thanks for watching … it’s the digi cam from shooter king … great jacket with plenty of pockets and most important it’s silent when moving

[@WEED2207]

Mick, I see your feeders have a number on them, do you buy them in or make your own??

[@mickgarveyairattackmia4722]

Hi Alan … good question … I used to make my own from timber but the wood holds traces of urine etc from the greys which can transmit diseases to the reds so I changed to making them from metal. These feeders though are made from stokboard and supplied by the P&DRSG … although I have bought a few myself to help support the group. The numbers are for easy ID when viewing trail cam footage

[@shaunosullivan608]

Hope you and babz r ok I guess u don't miss Sheffield 😂

[@mickgarveyairattackmia4722]

Hi Shaun … yeah we’re both good mate how’s yourself? Miss some of the foxing but really busy up here

[@shaunosullivan608]

👍

[@roberthowe2910]

Good vid. Info...

[@mickgarveyairattackmia4722]

Hi Robert thanks for saying this mate and glad you liked it

[@Squirrel-Sniper]

Would it be ok to share this video on our UK & Ireland The Grey Area group page? Just didn’t want to contravene any copyrights! Good video from young Mick to share to our members. Save our Reds 🐿️👍

[@edwardpockett4862]

Great video and great work 👍🏻, do you like .25cal fac for squirrels? I've just started shooting a.25 40ftlbs theoben rapid, and I just can't believe how good a .25 is I had fac 22cal but just hits so hard it's silly !! Chest shots drop them stone dead everytime , what is your take?

[@mickgarveyairattackmia4722]

Hi Edward and another good question … with bit being fac it gives the option of an instant dispatch with a heart-lung shot at distance when the grey is hiding its head behind the branches or leaves etc … it’s definitely a great calibre in fac

[@charlestattershall4362]

I’ve seen greys in calthwaite

[@mickgarveyairattackmia4722]

Hi Charles … if you have some coordinates or grid reference I’ll get it to the right ranger … thanks for the intel it’s really appreciated and exactly what we want so we can react appropriately

[@ramjamfull5]

Seen it all before 100 times

[@mickgarveyairattackmia4722]

Thanks for the comment Pete

[@spikemanning5502]

Hi Mick what boots do you wear

[@richarddixon7276]

I think We could really do with Your services here in Lancashire , problem is My employers are Further Education Providers , and the campus has a Strict No Guns on campus policy . Being a keen airgun enthusiast myself , I have approached the powers that be and they appear to be immovable . This is compounded by several roads situated close by meaning that perhaps as much as 50% is probably within 50 ft of the center of a nearby highway and therefor illegal to shoot from . Traps would go a long way but of course with a large populace of mostly misinformed animal loving students , any form of cull will almost certainly result in some form of protest from one group or another . Oh it is Sooo frustrating , the squirrels are bold and brazen and pretty much without fear frequently running across footpaths in broad daylight with pedestrians literally within feet of them , one even ran over My foot when it was startled by an unnoticed passerby . Thanks for a view of what it takes to be a Red Ranger and for doing such a good job of helping control the Grey Menace . catch you next episode . Shoot Straight Stay Safe & Stay Well.

[@mickgarveyairattackmia4722]

Thank you richard for this great comment. I feel your pain and I’ve been in the same situation myself… keep at them and don’t relent and hopefully a little education with help with their understanding of the problem … regarding the 50ft law … it is open to various interpretations and often misunderstood … thanks again and good luck with the greys

[@mikeheasman2594]

Perfectly legal to shoot right next to a highway.

[@phillipnesmith2698]

How did gray squirrels get started in the UK?

[@denniscampbell8240]

Do you get the bot fly in the squirrels in your area ,,,aka wolves ,,,,,,,,,,in the Sept mths here n USA Alabama ,,,,,the bot fly lays its larva on them and they get in the skin of the squirrel ,,,,,,they can still be eaten because the larva don't get in the meat ,,,,,,,it just looks n sounds bad

[@StompingRabbits]

Squirrels actually get out of control?

[@mickgarveyairattackmia4722]

Every time you turn your back on them Patrick

[@martybennett1861]

Enjoyed the video , but anyone who has done any squirrel shooting will recognise that the first shot on the video was not ideal. It happens to all of us but i would personally not take a standing shot over 20 yards. Surely the aim of the game is to cause the least suffering as possible 👍

[@mickgarveyairattackmia4722]

Rest assure Marty the kill was instant both the cameraman and myself saw it land and stay put until I retrieved it … it kicked away from the feeder as part of reflex to being shot. The shot was supported and was only 35yards so slight hold was applied to take into account of my 46yard zero … but thanks for the comment it is much appreciated

[@marshallart113]

Wicked vid but please stop chewing gum when your talking

[@andrewharris4940]

Are you the man Prince Charles employs to take out all the greys

[@mickgarveyairattackmia4722]

‘Fraid not … but open to offers 😂

[@JoJon536]

Prince charles? Where have you been

[@highgatehandyman6479]

The Americans eat them. And they are good eating apparently.

[@mickgarveyairattackmia4722]

They certainly do and they are eaten here as well … had many a snack on grey skinnies … Rosie Barham has a cook book called delicious vermin which includes recipes for squirrel

[@phillipnesmith2698]

They are good eating. I like rabbit too, more meat per animal killed but squirrel is quite good.

[@keithscott676]

That is one noisy rifle Mick.

[@mickgarveyairattackmia4722]

Hi Keith … it’s not actually that bad … I think the mic on the scope exaggerates the sound tbh
