- When Wayne Martin has a catapult in his hands, no small pest or game is safe. He joins Paul Childerley for a mooch around Paul’s Bedfordshire shoot. They are looking to fill the pot and, to help out, Paul plunges his hand into a squirrel drey.

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 cause £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.

That Paul's got some nuts on him , more to him than meets the eye .
I see no one is mentioning this guys accuracy with a catty 😮 he's a bloody brilliant shot 👏
I used to hunt with a catty when I was a kid in the 70s, I was a crack shot, I used to hunt Rats on our local river bank. My best shot ever was a very long distant lob shot at a carrion crow in a field I hit and killed it. My catty was made of ash and the rubber was snooker table cushion square rubber. Great video.
Sound very similar to myself mate 👍
Rats or water voles??
@@user-gm4bn7ql6u big long tails and a pointy nose , I used to sit and watch the bank voles, lovely creatures blunt nose and a stubby tail often sat eating grass My local river was called the River Sowe, in those days it was like an open sewer, we often had mass outbreaks of brown rats.
This is so cool. I am into airgunning, and I just bought my first Scout LT slingshot. I am looking forward to joining the slingshot community because they have competitions and everything airgunning has, including FUN, wholesome people.
I'm so impressed by your accuracy.as a teen I used a Barnett diablo slingshot to hunt on the farm so I truly appreciate the skill needed great video
You got me hooked. Now I need to get a slingshot. Great day afield, my favorite place to be. Great video.
I've been getting into them because of catty shack it's such good fun espically when you grt your eye in
Good shot with that catapult blimey, Paul's brave putting his hand into a drey or very skilled in squirrel charming 👍👍
what a video guys loved watching this keep on makin the videos you guys never get old love the new content brilliant shooting and feild sports pals
What a video,best one I've ever seen,the shooting and putting his hand in the nest awesome
Great video Wayne,I could watch you all day.
Great video. Great shooting. I'm out with mine tomorrow now. Got me in the mood for a mooch.
Me and my 3 brothers enjoy making those out of tree branches when we were little. Lots of fun!
Loved the video keep up the good work and shooting
Thanks m8 I'm just getting used to my new hgh seem to be filling the freezer up slowly 👍
Been missing these videos with you and fieldsports
I am 65 and bought a wal-mart black widow folding slingshot and a bottle of 1500 clay bullets. I was getting ok with it but then I went back and got that little wood 1 they sell for like 4 bucks. It has 2 small tubes on each side and a lot easier for me to shoot. I can hit my targets better with it so now I’m thinking of getting one of those like u pulled out with bands. I think it might be better for me than those big tubes on my widow.
Slingshots are definitely addictive. I bought 1 on a whim and practiced with it when camping and whatnot. I am now more accurate with it than I am with my Glock at 60 feet or so, LOL!
Brilliant day hunting love the video mate 👍
Slingshots are fun but I wouldn’t hunt with one! I truly admire how skilled these guys are but I’ll stick to my air gun all day !!
Really good video !!
Great stuff, bring more in
I hunt squirrels sometimes but also have one that lives with me,im a tree surgeon and forester and rescued a pinky and now she just sits on my shoulder whilst I watch tv hahaaaaa
Been waiting for this!
Great Stuff!!!
Great vedio grabin that squirrel something else brave paul
Fascinating video!where I live you're lucky to get 2 rabbits a season with a air rifle and I've been hunting 2 decades just not much quarry about
"Fascinating"?....you need to get out a bit more LOL
There’s been a lung disease, affecting rabbits, hardly any in Cheshire, used to practically fall over them 10 years ago
@@dannywooding4009 might be maxi it decimated the rabbit population in my neck ov the woods
Rabbit population always rise & fall mixi killed alot of near me in Lancashire but now they are back on the rise .
Brilliant stuff guys
Really enjoyed that and subbed !
Brings back memories of hunting. Always for the pot no more
Nutter breaks a nutters neck ! I shoot the evo field pro it’s great thanks. Gunna take a lot of practice to even think about attempting a shot on live quarry. This guy is good, not as easy as it looks folks!
Great shooting
What thermal imaging are you using and can you recommend it.iv got hicmicro but not very impressed with it
😂 first a hole now a dray brilliant shooting Wayne too mate
Just started using a sling. Use 8mm bearings. Been practising using leafs on a tree can see clear hole where bearings went throo but nothing on this guys level
Hi Wayne great video as always. Random question but can I use 9.5 steel with your .85 hot shot bands if so what tappers would I need
Grey squirrel is most fun to shoot with Caty I have tripple gold theraband on mine and what a crack its super powerful a bit harder to make the bands but well worth the effort
I can go for a walk here in Canada at around 7pm and see about 5 rabbits within shooting distance. It's always dawn and dusk around here that they come out. (Ontario, Canada)
Great video, do you ever miss? Haha some great shots mate 👌🏻
Wayne i used to go out shotting with you when i was a kid boxing day! Brillant videos
So you can hunt with a slingshot but not a bow/arrow. The idiocy of the UK government is astounding
Pls keep it quiet before the government hears you and does something stupid.
@@KC08RAS I'm guessing their rationale is that a bow more able to kill another person.
@@chuckboy9372 check out slingbow, it's uses a catapult as a bow
The idiocy of you is outstanding..... a slingshot if shot at a person,fox, deer etc is not usually lethal... whereas a crossbow or bow if shot a larger game is more likely to injure...... your not going to viably hunt pheasants and squirrels with a fkin crossbow are you..... so most people who want to hunt with a crossbow, either want one for the wrong reasons, or want them to poach deer... deer bieng the only real thing people still poach in the UK.... I stalk deer with a .308 and can't see why anybody would want to shoot a deer with a bow or crossbow, and chase a blood trail through the woods for an hour like fkin rambo....
It's quite sickening seeing a deer running around with an arrow in it after being shot from incapable hunters. The wound rate in the US is rather high, deer suffering for days on end until they perish and rot. It's bad enough when hunters blow the bottom jaw off deer.
It's not sport, two sides have to know the rules.
Hunting for fun, be brave and say it as it is.
Peace
Insane skill I wish I could do that I’ve tried so hard but just can’t get it,I need to lean as I’m late with my sgc renewal lol
Nice going Wayne 💪
I shot a squirrel in the head, went and picked it up and it turned and bit me on the back of my thumb. Bloody hurt like hell and drawn quite a bit of blood. I always poke them with a stick now or a quick knock with me boot 🤣
6:48 this shot right here
They will make some good stew and a smashing pair of slippers 💥
Very brave man hand snatching a squirrel
What sling shot won't u say fir beginer new to this sport thanks best of luck
Reminds me I haven’t taken my dog for a walk in the woods there recently, guess I will set my alarm for 7am and go in the morning 😃😃😃 any of you Freemason nonces want come and have a go you know exactly where I am , couldn’t have made it clearer could I really. Lake Valhalla see you there tomorrow 😃😃😃
Whats the best set up for 10 mm lead ammo?
Did you bring home the squirell and cook it ?
Amazing video!
What's your 11mm steel ball setup?
He looked worried going into that nest for a moment, got some balls though
I wouldn't want to change picking up a live squirrel, their teeth are razor sharp.
Woo exelente me gustaría conseguir una saludos
wow thats amazing , i would love to get good with the catty
Metal detectors nightmare
They have got some balls - LOL.
catapult slingshot hunting. I like it.👍
Dear Sir! May I ask the type of your distance meter?
Thankyo 😂
Can someone explain to this Canadian how the folding knife with the flipper is legal in the UK?
In North America, we are led to believe that only slip-joint knives with blades less than 3" are legal in Britain.
You have to be able to prove you need it - and not for self-defence. / Charlie
I've hunted squirrel for 50 + years using everything from dogs, slingshot & various guns & rifles. But i would NEVER attempt to touch one of these little bastards with bare hands.
What do they taste like? I have heard they make good eating.
I like your hunting. Iam use slingshot Evo field Pro
How would this do on a grizzly approaching his attack? A couple and dog killed by a grizzly in Montana, USA recently. Another guy had his jaw chewed off and lives to chat about it from another grizzly. In the Florida woods, we have feral hogs, rabbits, coyotes, pheasants, black bears and more. State parks say we cannot carry guns for defense. Do you think catapults and slingshots would be feasible?
I recon I'd be doing a nice Squirrel Curry ! YUM YUM !
I really enjoy your video’s
Can you tell me where I can buy a catapult the same as what you use ?
Cattyshack
Yeah, that squirrel was lovely. Before you shot it. Congrats.
It takes a brave man to neck a squirrel, never seen that done before.
You were playing with that squirrels nuts for far too long
so catapult can be used on muntjac?
Did you get much pot mate?
Sir what is is ur band length nd thickness.. 🤔
Proper 🤟
Very good bạn bắn quá hay
Scorpion with open claws.
SF member who's seen combat.
Which bands(thickness ) are best to hunt...
Depends on your ammo & draw length but .60 or 70 mm with 8mm steel
He's mustard with the catapult my 11 year old girl is a good shot
Quá hay luôn anh bạn
👍👍👍
I haven’t eat any tree rats since a kid
👍
Need a black widow catapult
You are hunting in woods on the side of the road, is this privately owned land? Did you have permission? Would i be able to just do this whilst driving past?
Thanks for this. You have to have permission from the landowner or sporting rights owner to hunt in the UK. / Charlie
how do you find who owns the lands lol @@fieldsportstv
My mother got BITTEN by a squirrel once. NASTY!
Ring the bell😅
Maddening that bow hunting is illegal but this isnt
🎉🎉👍
Is that edible?
We always floured and fried them like chicken.
Sick video thought I was on a deep dark council estate full of tats
You better believe it SAS hunter capture team w@nkor you
You should’ve mentioned that the knife you demoed is also illegal in nanny state U.K. No locking blade permitted, irrespective of blade length
Thanks for this. It's legal if you can show use, i.e. fieldsports. / Charlie
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Its illegal to hunt with a sling shot in the uk x
😁
Зачем белок убиваете!? 😠
I'm not anti hunting but always find it slightly odd when people seem to enjoy killing animals so much.
Cruel bar steward
Vegetarian?
Clueless bar steward
Horrible why would you kill 😢
For cooking and for eating. What other reason for it?
If squirrels, leave them alone. Ur like two little boys with sling shots. You're just callus and cruel, leave them alone.
Im not a fan of hunting to be honest havent hunted in my life.
But what i do know, for every life u take u have to answer to allah on the day of judgement.
Hope you’re a vegan mate
@@tomhannigan2234 I'm everything that's halal. Chicken meat veg sea food.
@@sikanderhussain308 The way that they slaughter Halal meat is just as violent as hunting.
@@tomhannigan2234 as muslims eating halal meat chicken in a slaughtered manner under the name of god its ok. The animal ha no fear. Instead it submits its self. Its not the same as hunting an animal slaughtering it in any manner. Thats more of a sin. Thats my opinion. Every person is responsible for their actions on the day of judgment.
@@sikanderhussain308 when an animal is slaughtered it knows it's coming therefore fear and stress levels rise massively.When an animal is killed on a hunt it doesn't know it's coming till it's to late,so no fear no stress.
You state that the animal submits itself to be slaughtered,that quite frankly is rediculous.All living creatures strive to survive,they don't just give up and accept to die just because your or anybody else's god says it appropriate for them to die in this way!
thank fuck i am not a squirrel,what a shot you are,i have never seen anything like it.what does squirrel taste like,i dont fancy it myself
