Also glad your back to making videos!! It’s a shame that with all the real problems we have in this world, there are people who have nothing better to do than to push their opinion and expect you to comply. Keep up the good work can’t wait to see a Imp mark III.

Do your thing Si. Don't be apologetic for legally enjoying your sport. That is precisely what many want you to do. Be always apologizing and guilt ridden because we do not share their views. I am in the U.S. where we enjoy the right to bear arms of all sorts as well as hunt (though the antis are always after us as well).Having said that, your's and Daves channel is what got me interested in air gunning several years back. I hunt small game now exclusively with springer air rifles. It is one of the most enjoyable things for me; target shooting in my yard (me garden for you Brits...LOL) and hunting squirrels and rabbits. You and Dave have always had a top notch You Tube channel and I have so missed watching your adventures in air rifle hunting and pest control there in the U.K. Please do not lose heart. Life is far too short. Thank you.

I’m heartened to hear your comments at the start of this video, and people like Paul should just leave well alone,99% of air gunners in this country who do pest control,know what they can and cannot shoot at any time of year and the rest of the air gun users are either not interested in pest control or don’t have an opinion one way or the other as they are only interested in knocking down targets or punching holes in paper It’s good to see you and Dylan enjoying some quality father and son time

I did see the comment and thought to myself “here we go again” there are thousands of videos on YT , I really don’t know what the world is coming to I really don’t. Regards Davy Thomas

Si, Through your video content you and Davey have always encouraged best practice whether in relation to marksmanship, the humane dispatch of quarry, gun care, safety, or observance of the prevailing law. I have lost count of the videos in which you have both described the pest species being controlled and the reason for which you have been required by the land owner to control them. You continue to educate those who watch your content teaching them about pest species (your feature on the brown rat comes to mind). Your constant advice of the importance of practice and warnings not to attempt to emulate some of the outstanding shots your viewers have seen you make, is a demonstration of your commitment to responsible shooting. Between you, you have, and continue to provide an invaluable service to the air-gunning community. What Paul has demonstrated by his post is his ignorance as there is no requirement in tort or in law for one to declare the reason a pest species is being controlled. The only obligation is to ensure that the species in question is being lawfully controlled. There was nothing in this video or any video that you have ever posted through VHTV that would suggest the contrary. It is for that reason that I implore you to continue to broadcast your content without any change to its format, as the only losers will be your subscribers (the very people that you educate, inspire and entertain). PLEASE DO NOT ALLOW PAUL OR PEOPLE OF HIS ILK WHO WILFULLY TAKE SUCH CONTENT OUT OF CONTEXT WITH A VIEW TO SUPPORTING AN ARGUMENT WHICH IS FACTUALLY INCORRECT AND FUNDAMENTALLY FLAWED, TO DEPRIVE THOSE OF US WHO BENEFIT FROM YOUR EXPERIENCE AND INTEGRITY.

Awesome comment mate. Thanks 😄 the time it took to write and the contents added. Thanks for your continued support.

Great video Si , ignore the bloody complainers . What a shot you are with your catapult. The distance your hitting the targets is amazing. Your son seems a nice level headed chap. You must be very proud of him .

Good to see you back. I miss and appreciate your posts. Always informative. The vast majority like the footage, no need to explain to Nth degree for the tiny minority.

Great to see you're out and about spending some quality time with Junior. :-)

It's been a while, and I was wondering where you and Davy were! Good to have Dylan back home, isn't it? Even if his visit was too short in time. All the best of good health to you and your family, stay safe Dylan!

Great to see you and Dylan out and about .pay no attention to those fools. You and Davey are a true inspiration of country code and practise 🎩 hats of to you all . Yous have been missed Ps Si you look like you have stopped eating pie's 😜👍 Cracking show as always 👍👍👍😜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦕🙂🤞✌

Si Here in the USA it is Veterans Day we pause and thank our Veterans. I simply don’t know if in the UK if you do celebrate Veterans also. I know that you’re a veteran so I reach across the pond to wish you a happy Veterans Day. Also known as Armistice Day maybe that’s the day you might know. Loved the video you posted on your military service I was driving and couldn’t watch everything I assume you took it down. A very sad thing I was much interested in it. There are times I have committed on the anties forget them they’re not worth your precious time if they slander you take them to court and put a few pounds in your pocket. Excellent shooting with the sling shot please don’t be a stranger here. I have learned so much from you on shooting Airguns. I am pleased to say we are brothers in arms take care and God Bless you Happy Veterans Day to you and all your Veteran friends Was wondering if you still visit the veterans garden you gave a tour of.

Hi John, We have Remembrance Day here in the UK where we have a minutes silence every year, 11/11/11 at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. This is in reference to the end of the first world war. Everyone in the country stops and observes this, it is instilled into us all from an early age and it is in respect for all who have given their lives and service to the country. We do hugely respect veterans but sadly our government still does very little for them. Thank you to Si for the videos, I too have learnt a lot and Si please do not allow yourself to get drawn in by the negative fools that inhabit youtube! Cheers

Glad to see that you and your family are doing well. It’s been a few since KZread has seen your videos and I’m glad to see them. Keep them coming and remain safe.

Nice on Si and good to see you back pal, i started KZread a year ago now and to be honest hell have i come across some very negative type idiots who just want to stair up rubbish, its just in their nature pal and they just can't help their self's also don't let them stop what you do shooting and filming wise because of it, get back in action and out with Davy on the squirrel feeders they were brilliant videos 😉.

Good to see you back I hope both you your wife and Dave are all doing well

Good video si 👍 And cracking shooting with the slingshot brave shot at 14:49 could of hit the camera 🤦‍♂️ But amazing shot by all means hope to see some new videos in the near future 👍

The world is not perfect good to see you back massive inspiration to me over the years.. ppl will always have something to say about something I’m kind of used to it , god bless you and the family.

Don’t let Pauls get to you!!!! Great videos that I think are brilliant. Keep up the great work! 👍👀🇬🇧

Hello si great to see you back mate 👍👍👍👍👍👍

VerminHuntersTV for me that says it all,so if you dont like dont watch,me myself think its one of the best uk based airgun channels on here,i want to see how you work out the distances on new rifles,like the old over and under,Thanks and keep it up

Excellent shooting and excellent video 👍🏻

Nice one si glad your back to making videos

Good times ! Hope you have many more !! Hello from USA

tragic the way things are going in the shooting world at the moment could you not carry on with your excellent vids and just disable all comments, anyway nice to see you back on you tube keep them coming whatever you decide to do thanks for posting

Awesome catty shots

Haters gonna hate,you can’t please everyone. What I would suggest is a warning at the beginning. Have to say some cracking shots!Another great video keep them coming.👍

I Totally agree with your actions Si.

Good to see you back 👍

Good to see you back , i think you must be one of the best shooters in the country .Sadly i sold my pcp prior the to gov legislation in Scotland and was told by a gun dealer the other day that only around 48k people are licenced in Scotland and thats why most gun dealers dont hold many guns and if you were to order one from England then its another £85 on top of the price just for the postage and the £50 the dealers charge just to hand the gun over the counter . .

Always enjoy your videos you spend a lot of time and give good advice that must have saved me a lot of time thanks 👌👍🍻 really good information

Glad to see you back Si ! and hope you and team are well ! yeah i would like to have a go with the catapult so if you could show me how ie stance and aiming be great thx

good to see yall doing ok i didnt know if the covid got yall or not i havent seen you for a looong while

Hello Si. Good to se you again after long time without VerminHunters !!! I watched lot of "older" videos to compensate the time without new stuff from you and Davy but you know it´s not the same !! Is your family fine ??? Is Davy OK ??? I really hope so !! Cheers from from a big fan from Norway :)

I'm a airgun hunter and slingshot shooter I say slingshot shooter not hunter because I'm not good enough. I shoot rabbits squirrels and wood pigeons on my permissions for my farmers no corvid, thats my choice . I have wood pigeons in my garden what I don't shoot that's my choice. My rabbits squirrels and wood pigeons feed me and my dogs that's my choice .Most people don't like what I do that there choice.please carry on si it's your choice.👏

He can shoot that slingshot! Very well done!

Great eye sight 20/20 vision. No need to go to spec savers.

Welcome back SI l really missed your videos! Sorry about the trolls!

Wish all of you safe n well, Peace from Indonesia

This country is getting so P.C. that it's only a matter of time before the target shooters are had up too for harming paper that came from a living tree....what a joke. Bring back the good old times!

Keep it up and don’t take notice of the weirdos . Go out and enjoy yourself . .

Great video Si and well said

Very nicely said Si 👏 👏 I'm not going to badmouth Paul but in anyway shape or form as much as I'd love to may I add but imo he was clearly trying to provoke a response or like you said get everyone on his bandwagon. I very nearly give him a piece of my mind in the comments but I thought twice because like you said with the way it is here atm the overly pc and quiet frankly stupid city folk, millennial snow flakes or straight up antis its not worth it, no matter what you say and even with proof/good reason you'll still be wrong so it's pointless, that said I think your response was great and absolutely on point its just a shame a absolute turd has now ruined it for everyone else 😕👎 I've been watching you for 11+ years mate and you have been not only entertaining but also a inspiration for me, Yourself Davy, hunters vermin and the squirrel hunters, daveratz, monkchip were my top 5 channels upto around 3 years ago before everyone had the capability of recording and posting thus creating more channels (myself included) and the hunting KZread thing getting as big as it is now. I just wanna say thankyou very much mate 😁👍 I know what it takes to film, edit share promote etc etc instead of just enjoying the day or evening out with the gun, it becomes more about the videos than the shooting itself in the end and to persever in the face of people like Paul who I know isn't the first or last is admirable 👍👍 Keep doing what your doing bud your a legend 🙌

Thanks for the long comment mate. Kind words like yours are always nice to read.

Don’t he post now?I used to watch these bak in 2013 onwards and on the airgun forums not seen for few years n just found channel again.are they not posting now much???

I think it's a real shame that people must be so bored, have to much time to spare , be so ill informed, read the rules and think that there interpretation of them is the only one worthwhile , have a point of view on a subject and are blind to any other, and the facts and opinions of someone giving there time helping or just entertaining if they don't tally up with there own are wrong, and they can not see or will refuse to see, when the facts and even figures come from land owners or organisations involved in this wonderful worth while sport / past time / hobby or useful needed job, which ever badge they wish to give it while hammering some poor sole. For some like my self in there retirement years with mobility and other health ( not forgetting those with mental health ) issues who make up a large percentage of us shooters find it a way of getting some exercise, and specially for those living by them selves this sport may be one of the only times they get together with other people. There's also the recognised benefits of being part of group of like minded people sharing being in the outdoors and even just being by your self enjoying the out doors to people suffering with depression. There are enough people wanting and trying very hard to shut the whole past time/hobbyside of shooting down, as well as the vital control of pests for farmers and land owners without having people who actually shoot bickering and picking up on any and everything they can , a word or comment, personal opinions etc etc, infact anything that these distructive and damaging people can find to spout off about, mostly lm very sure to belittle the contributors that try, and do such a fine job ( don't have to but choose to) of sharing there experiences, knowledge, findings, views, thoughts, tips etc of this sport/pastime ours to help inform, pass on what they have found or just for the entertainment of us all. I think more likely they hope to make people think they are more knowledgeable and clever than they so obviously are, anyway thats my rant over. Most clubs have one or more of these wonderful people, sometimes if the club is Really Lucky a seperate little club within a club, and that can be a danger in its self to smooth running of the club for its other members, so my way of dealing with them is to give a good morning and that's it, when they get all political and rightious going on and on about something so insignificant but like a dog with a bone and try to engage me with there righteousness l use that lovely Australian word " D. I. L. L. I. G. A. F. " and they either get it and leave me alone, or don't get it and don't want to look stupid, because "They Know Everything" and they leave before having to admit THERE'S SOMETHING THEY DON'T KNOW. Magic I whole heartedly agree with you. They don't merit much spending of your time in defending. 👍 Ignore Ignore Ignore If your still here, thanks. If your not D.I.L.L.I.G.A.F. BYE.

Any new content coming? Miss your rat hunting videos.

👍🏻

Just so you know on April 4, it’s World Rat Appreciation Day

Hello again :)) are there more videos coming ?????? Hope so !

Hi Si, I have been watching your channel for a while now and really enjoy the content, I'm getting near retirement age and have fancied taking up the sport again, bearing in mind that I have not had a rifle for nearly 40 years and if memory serves me well it was an old BSA Meteor lol, but it was a sport I really enjoyed, used to take my son out for some fun target practice, anyway, I live in Scotland and am waiting for my AWC to come thru and in the meantime have been watching lots of content on KZread, I have got around £700 to play with and have been looking at the 2nd hand market on Gunstar, was thinking along the lines of Air Arms S410 and S510 and the BSA R10, Weihrauch HW110, would love to hear your thoughts on my choices or if you can recommend anything else that in your opinion is a good buy or better gun, we don't really have a great choice of air gun shops up here anymore so would probably have to travel down South to grab a good deal. Sorry for the long winded story but would really appreciate your views Best Regards Stevie

So, I don’t see what the problem is shooting something for the pot. If it’s going to be eaten then good. A few months ago some clown shot my son’s cat with an air rifle. She had to have her leg amputated, that is what should be slated not someone shooting a pigeon to eat.

Ian, sorry to hear that about the cat. Terrible behaviour. I think Paul is a chap that waits for certain channels to post video and then jumps on anything that he can twist to his advantage. His point was about the pigeon should have been shot under the correct general licence (which I don't think he knew himself :-) - GL42 England, GL001 Wales (which it was shot under) - General licence to kill or take certain species of wild birds to prevent serious damage and the licence to kill or take certain wild birds to prevent serious damage to livestock, foodstuffs for livestock, crops, vegetables or fruit or to prevent the spread of disease to livestock, foodstuffs for livestock, crops, vegetables or fruit.

@@VerminHuntersTV Thanks Si, it is unfortunate that people who don't or misunderstand the rules make judgements on law abiding air gunners. I used to go out with ferrets years ago for rabbits, none were taken just for the fun of it, all were eaten by someone. As long as we all stick to the rules, and believe me, here in Scotland they are very strict indeed, nobody should have any complaints.

Just as a Ps. after thought. If Si you were doing anything remotely iffy or of blurred boundaries, in the grey area, most people know what would happen by looking not that far back when so many well known shooters all over the world that uploaded onto there channels the same general style content they had been posting for many a year regular, sometimes weekly, woke up one day to find all in some cases and most in the others there content had been removed for the most suspect reasons from there channel, and had a real battle to try and get this reinstated onto there site, so as this would l think demonstrate, to anyone with more than two pidgions to rub together ( guess who ), that your comment was taken by everyone, and more importantly anyone that maters the way it was ment, so don't worry yourself mate or even think you have the need to explain yourself to anyone, coss lm sure that if you upset anyone that does matter you will know and pidgin boy, well,,,, he can rub those two pidgions together as hard as he likes he still won't matter will he..

Si, we need more rat busting videos from you and Davey. Any word on when we can expect more content? Hoping all is well for you and Davey and your families.

Your son is in the German army? Interesting

Hi si what has happened to videos

Please forgive my ignorance but I cant see the problem with shooting pigeons for the pot. Better that than throwing them in a bin or incinerator.
