When I started stalkingthree years ago I missed a munty at 10 yards shooting low! it was my first ever shot and having had five blank outings I had a version of buck fever. Since then I have had two further oppertunities on one occasion I fogged my scope (-5 and exhaled as I went to take the shot, T**t) and the other all I had was a head shot at a small doe some yards off and I decided not to take the shot. Fast forward to yesterday... The kids had been ill overnight so I didnt start as planned yesterday but I was on the ground for about 6. As I drove up to the farm a hare hopped out ont

that is the question stuck in my head. The wife and I rely on a nursery and a pre-school for childcare. The statistical liklehoodof anything being wrong is really really low but it just makes you question what your doing as a parent. as i said proper brain f**k

I new Nick and writing this is bloody hard. This is the bloke when I packed up coursing who helped me find a little family shoot to help at. He's the same bloke who helped do shoot lunches off his own back with little in return for his efforts and for whom nothing was to much trouble. Always jovial and friendly a little bit of the village idiot in him but Nick. He helped do some shotgun coaching with me and I had one of his dogs on my peg when I shot my first pheasant. He vanished just before xmas I phoned the police checked hospitals to make sure he was ok but couldnt find him anywhere. Then

just spoke to some mates and they have three sets of fawns on there ground. was out again myself thursday and whilst I saw plenty of does no sight of fawns and two still resembled barrells

none as yet chap. we havent silaged yet and other than woodland rides the ground cover everywhere is 2ft plus. could have easily missed them in last few outings

FD is his summer coat pretty much through? looks like it in pic. Im Swindon way and the ones on our ground are still very scruffy.

all the best with the enterprise. If you can get into good local pubs and restraunts they will provide a very good outlet as venison and pigeon is in high demand. its on lots of menus round here at the moment How far are you from Swindon. Work do a farmers market but you have to be from 50 miles or less? not sure what take up would be like or cost of attendance. Can find out more if of use. All the best Martin

sorted outa dealer at CLA rabbits head shot £2, pigeon 45p each steel shot only, fallow £2 a kilo, hares £4.50 but only want to do largish numbers

def some around Narborough / Maraham (think thats the spelling) area. Was watching a stonking munty buck at the end of my aunts garden last year and suddenly an almighty crash and two red hinds thundered past. It was first time I has seem them in the wild.

Were not paid at the place I go, we have 16 regular beaters, we do 8 days in the season and have a days shooting at the end. Average age of beaters 30. Syndicates our way very masses from £600 to 10 times that. Depend what you want and how much your prepared to do

load depends on birds your shooting, if your shooting at skyscrapers then id be getting the 28g 5's out.Otherwise 25 6s should be fine. Loads, aside safety first, be corteous and polite thank the keeper and by him a beer as a thanks, if you shoot well dont brag and if its going badly dont worry. Oh and have a great time

yeah I'm Cirenester way. Still calling yesterday and out at them Sunday.

After a few false starts over last few weeks we were out today and the woods were full of the sound of the rut, at least two stands active and a possible third. Saw one very good buck at about 120yards but to good to be taken weirdly no prickets but alot of does.

3 to 4.5k split between 8-10 guns depending on location.

out last night near Cirencester and had a young buck who came to the buttolo
