Fantastic style of daytime hunting,...and as you say,.. great memories...?

Just watching the morning weather report, and apparently from Wednesday next week we are about to experience some proper cold weather and snow, with more predicted upto chrimbo, happy days ???

Here’s one for shot placement sl? look on the deck, it didn’t move very far! Last day of buck season, he had two hours to keep his head down before dark.. rare bullets them sst First photo as I walked up to it, shot off stix at bout 170yard

Im not sure but ive done alot of lamping and never really seen folk chase stuff before letting a dog out thats not really how it works. U spot ya stuff stop motor let dog out follow on close enough to keep stuff in the beam but not to effect the course. I have seen some people turn particular stuff with a motor but never seen it coursed then a dog chucked out. ill walk or drive im not fussed but ill tell you one things youll see more dogs jack bieng run out of a motor than you will on foot 110% fact

If farmers could let lads out with permission in the daytime then it would cut the problems in half, but they can’t. Criminalising the farmer as well as the activity has seen to that. I used to lamp and shoot over a couple of local places. One was a farm that had a shoot on there, with keepers who were fairly aggressive in their anti dog stance. On that one I could only shoot pigeons or have a dig at problem stuff……running dogs not tolerated. They got absolutely tortured with the local travelling boys driving the land and they lost about £250,000 worth of farm equipmen

Liver and sausage casserole on a slow cook, time to load up on goodness for the coming cold snap ??

Think this sites a bit fcuked on my phone, this is first time it’s shown this post? the .204 is great and I like it a lot, easy and cheap to load for and it’s put down 30 odd fox’s since Christmas.. it didn’t like the vmax though:( the one I did whack last night dropped on spot at about 200

Beating woods with a little pack of terrier/spaniel cross type mongrels was also fantastic, beaters, side stops and the lads laying in wait opposite in the next block of woodland. Standing quiet as a blocker, the yip of the little dogs, a movement in the trees and then pandemonium…..great memories. Lifes a mixture of many flavours mate…..as I’m sure you of all people know.

They need some of this, you don't have to find the body or get access to it, (it will stop smelling when the bodily fluids are all gone), just put a drop of this down in various areas around the site and the smell is completely masked. Its VERY strong and lasts a long time, I mean potentially weeks!!!!! Comes in assorted flavours, mine must be at least 10 years old (shows how rarely I need to use it) but on the handful of occasions I have used it , its been great!!!

Well sad to say my goose trip wasnt a success as the geese didn't want to play ? 1st skein came in perfect and I shot 1 pink foot. After that plenty geese in the air but wouldn't decoy and decided to land in some fields half a mile away. 5 hours driving for a goose I must be mad ?

I love all the seasons, but jan and feb are shit, have had enough by then and can’t wait for spring, main thing I like about the winter is the lack of solar powered wankers that seem to converge from everywhere April onwards, lanes full of Lycra clad fat blokes on bikes and fields and woods full of Florescent coated idiots with stupid uncontrollable dogs, even the canal is getting worse with paddle boarders but now it’s all mine again and I’m happy ? ??

Had one decent frost two weeks ago, it was beautiful. Very much looking forward to winter proper!

Good and bad in all kinds of people

Great thread- the black led cams are handy when their set where some one might spot a red light.

I know there are a few others here that enjoy the night sky, just heard on the radio that there is a meteor shower tonight with upto 15 meteors an hour visible ??

Soon gone quiet about this terrorist attack on the media though the claims of racist banter at Yorkshire County cricket club is never ending on the news.

Yes,.. I would have to agree,...it is really good fun...?

I always like to say that whilst troops were dying in war as we didn’t have enough helicopters, op gallelio were using them to stop people chasing big rabbits . I get the whole different budgets , different departments etc but you cannot take that truth away .

Of course the methods come into question.If the scumbags are chasing stuff about chucking multiple dogs out it doesnt matter if they catch four times as much gear them dogs aren't being tested.Ive known of absolute shit touted as world beaters using them methods.

Think I saw you in the park last summer mate ?

If wilf was on the way to a West Ham cup game and they blocked the road am sure it’ll be a different. View ?

plants going in end of the week????

I do think that remembrance is important but, this pretty much sums up my sentiments. There's plenty of blokes that need our help right now.

That kind of shit talk is 20 years behind giving it p***y c**ts ?. It's f***ing kindigarden talk rubbish. Fucks me off not all travellers are the same. My great grandma an grandad on my father's side my grandmother's mam an dad are romany people the ( smiths ) An you couldn't wish to meet nicer people. My grandmother an greats are past now no longer with us. But they knew Right an wrong. She was always telling me in my younger days to keep out of trouble your shaming the family. Just petty crime shop lifting sweets got caught in woolworths after been at swimming baths lol. So it just shows you

Criminal yeah, doesn't mean people don't have to have morals. What's right and wrong is different to legal and illegal in my eyes. Driving around across someone else's livelihood and treating your quarry like shit is wrong however you choose to justify it.

I hear a lot being said about travellers some justified some not but back when my old man had perm all over .A friend of my grandad and family who was a traveller and what I would call a true sportsman we would take out from time to time .I learnt so much from him .he never run a hare till late Nov but did hunt them in his earlier years with a r in the month .always owned a good dog carried a ferret in a old pound cloth sack with a dozen nets in his pockets .he was a black belt with snares and long and gate nets .he once bollocked me for lamping a hare he said you want to test your dog agains

Hard work, but very rewarding. If you get it just right, there's a wonderful lustre and sheen to them ? Cheers.

Monday's Mole Patrol follows the route of Richard the Lionheart. He spent more time over here than in England. This is the chateau in Chalus where he received a fatal injury. The chateau contained some gold artifacts that had been found locally. King Dick was planning a heist and while he was casing the joint someone let off a speculative shot with a crossbow and the bolt hit him in the shoulder. He died from the infection a few days later. His body was carried to Aixe sur Vienne and put on a boat that took him straight through my barbel swims down the river to Fontevraud where his father is a

Hope there cell is insulated

Ah, I get it now. Its illegal so its OK to be a wanker and wreck the place ..... really?? You own land right? Would you just shrug that off "oh well, they've f****d the place, never mind, it's illegal and those poor lads have no other way to test their dogs" I don't reckon you would. Legal or illegal, if people choose the act the c**t in the process they can expect to be looked on as c**ts.

we all do things different that's what makes use individual's lifes a book enjoy its how you apply yourself

Cheers nige To say them bergara’s are one of the cheapest rifles you can buy ive got more faith in it when I pull the trigger than any other gun I’ve owned! was out last night with the .204 and missed a fox, it was a fair old distance and fairly windy like.. think it’s time the 6.5 had an outing dressed with the thermal?

Corkman, stop.end, Barrie thanks for your class responses, the Scottish questionnaire has been filled in and submitted, atb guys.

At least you are out having a go mate, you won’t get anything sat in front of the telly ?

Cnts trick that...Getting a hare pissed so a bull cross could catch it.

Thats another big thing aswell farmer up the road here never gets aggro coz hes so funny and fair he dont care about ya sensible walking because he doesnt care police tend not too either. then theres a place ive had aggro on for years just recently got on talking terms with one of them now im pretty much free to do as i want within reason but before they knew me was crazy the lengths they was going to cause me agg. Its if your face fits not whether its legal or not.

like yourself tats,reckon it going to be a hard winter,while walking dogs these past few weeks, the holly bushes in my area i absolutely laden with berries, never seen such flocks of fieldfares in years must be in the hundreds, absolutely hammering the hawthorn berries,seeing more woodcock than in past years, and plenty of greylags, whooper swans and woodpidgeons round the wetland areas,wild life and nature signs will tell you plenty aboutthe weather if you take time out to observe it,but lets just wait and see do these predictions come true, were due a good hard snap,might kill some of the v

should I seal it up or what I always prefer to solve the problem first then do the proofing. No point filling a hole first, the rodent will simply try to get in somewhere else.

i dont know ,every dog ive ever had has stayed with me till it died , .but thats just my way , i think some folks expectations are to high , ive heard about certain folk taking dogs out for a race , it hasnt killed so fk it and left it in the field , not good in my eyes , you cant run a unfit dog and expect it to be at its best on strong winter stuff ,so my view is its alot to do with the owner to give the dog the or get the best from his dog .

I have just got back from the pub . I’ve had a great day . Started off with feeding , really early. Then onto Gloucester services for breakfast. If you want a breakfast off the M5 , between Bristol and he midlands , look no further. Proper sausage , good bacon, black pudding and bubble and squeak, and filter coffee, no espresso. I was invited to shoot Frampton court estate as a guest . Me and my arch enemy/ friend Tim were both invited. This is the same estate that has the Frampton country fair/show , and I’ve helped out and been a part of the scene for years , b
