    I’ll do my best, I didn’t do to bad last time, missed a couple but I have been there and blanked in the past ?

    Jesus, that’s a lump to chuck at a tree rat, it had every right to die been hit by that ?

    It likes 70gn BT sako’s ( it’s like having a second wife, it’s got expensive taste ) and for the deer I use 90gn there’s minimal difference in zero but the good thing about putting the wraith on is I can zero it with both rounds and switch between them

    Topside beef today ? pulled beef butty’s for bait tomorrow ?

    Day/night scope swapped onto the.243 for next weekend’s trip, it almost feels wrong shooting deer with a digital scope but I’ve been told to take a shotgun, a 17hmr and something for deer and foxes so the .243 is the better option, just got to go and zero it now, oh, and buy some more ammo ??

    I wasn’t happy with the date I was told we would be getting ours, most are feathering up nicely, I’m just keeping my fingers crossed for no frost in October also there’s just been a bird flu control zone 4 miles from the shoot so fingers crossed that doesn’t show up on the top i’ve had a couple of invites to shoot at some small syndicates already this year and I think I’ll go this year, I normally say thanks but no thanks but your only around for a short time so I think I’ll make the most of it, I’m also off to Norfolk next weekend for a bit of everything, ducks, geese, muntjac and foxes,

    Second room dug out, there’s a lot of gear come out, I’ve just seen the plans for it and it’s a million quid build, a 3 phase development, phase 3 includes a pool, no idea how he’s got planning on national trust for that, I bet a few brown envelopes have changed hands, anyway should be a fair bit of work here for me, sub floors first then services and treatment plant ?

    This thread has gone a bit wonky hasn’t it ?

    Lovely stuff, I always look forward to Mr Bernard Sausage’s game shooting posts ?

    Good to see things are going along nicely for you, keep your posts coming ? I like to see how other syndicates are getting on, like you, if you had said to me did I want to keeper a shoot a few years ago I would of laughed, I only joined the syndicate all them years ago to get all the rifle shooting but since I took over this one it has taken over my life, the missus is starting to moan a little as I’m never at home, I have put a cracking dent in the foxes and squirrels mind ? today I had a little help in the shape of little Hugo’s dad, now the weather has changed the birds behaviour has

    First one dug out, two more tomorrow and then we can start putting stone back in next week, good amount of gear still to come out then we’ll need a crusher on site, no point buying it back in when we come to do the driveways and patio’s

    New job today and it will be an ongoing thing, old barns that are been converted into a house, they are not allowed to knock it down because it’s on national trust, so we are digging out and putting the sub floors in, then we will get the drainage, treatment plant and all the outside work, shame I’m on a day rate but it’s good work and it pays the bills

    I’m only kidding mate, I’ve known her for years, I don’t over charge her she’s always looked after me with bits of jobs in the past so when I’m there doing things like this for them I always do a few bits around the yard as well for free, repairing fences and drinkers, that sort of thing ?
  14. Stavross
    She will be after my bill goes in ?
  15. Stavross
    Well it turns out that the flying chickens love the fresh drilling’s who’d of thought it, not only my birds but next doors too, there was easily 200 of their birds up at the farm, they are wandering further but I’d prefer them to head over the piggeries instead of mixing with next doors, but they will do what they will do and as I can’t be there all the time I’ll just have to accept it anyway, I’ve now got myself a little helper, a lad from the shoot has asked if he can help out with the birds and come out with me so he can get some rifle experience because he wants to put in for his FAC
  16. Stavross
    Definitely a skill, but I’d questioning the maintenance of the excavator if he can get that track on without undoing the track tensioner ?

    Back at the stables today, little list of jobs, ditching in a bottom field for a land drainage problem and then secure some field shelters, last one and went through a water main, what sort of crank puts a main in 18” down in a field ? I was talking to the owner about the horses and she was saying there was over 2.5million quids worth of horses on site and they are charging £250 a week bed and breakfast, it’s only a one woman operation and I worked out she’s pulling in 8k a week without lessons, her bills just gone up ?

    The season’s soon come around catch him up, I’ll put him with the one up the shoot and I’ll go half’s with you on the fine ?
  19. Stavross
    Fu*k washing up, I did enough of that in my last house, made sure I had one of these when I moved ?

    Gone for pot roast beef today as the missus was meant to be back from holiday, that might not be the case now because they have diverted the incoming plane and told them a 2 1/2 hour delay at the minute because a cyclone has hit the Canaries, more for me ?

    A couple of years ago we gathered a few up and one of the young lads hatched about 20, we ringed them and release them in the old valley pen, a good way from where we shoot now, there was a 20 quid fine to be paid to young joe if you downed one, one day there was 3 shot and he won the sweep, went home with more money in his pocket than anyone else, it showed how far they will wander because they were released far for where they were shot, I think there was 4 shot out of the 20 or so that were released
  22. Stavross
    Yeah, I take them on a iPhone the missus gave me, I don’t know what model, it’s a red one I’m thinking 20 quid for the black cock, just a bit of daftness and an excuse to walk around the shoot shouting “ has anyone seen my black cock “ ? they are not common but you do see them now and then, they are a good bit smaller than the cock birds, more the size of a hen, there’s a place down the road from us that used to release a few of them and use them in the same way people did with white pheasants to see where their birds were, maybe it’s come from there

    Was given some tomatoes, onions and some foraged mushrooms so just something quick, tomato, onion and garlic sauce with a bit of balsamic vinegar with the mushrooms and tagliatelle pasta, ?

    Well it might of been chucking it down but that didn’t seem to bother the flying chickens they were still loving that stubble, they are getting through a lot of feed at Gordon’s pen and I’m starting to see a few more back at the forestry pen after the mental women that were letting their wild dog run round it, I had another woman today on the track letting her fat old lab waddle after them, these people are idiots. When I was over the piggeries I seen one cock bird that was completely black apart from a small amount of green on his head, the guns better bring their wallets because I might put

    Last one of the 3 done, bloody nightmare didn’t get going until gone 12 because it was 2 damp and couldn’t do the front path until my mate had been and scratched off the render, luckily the paths around the house took ages, might be the last big one due to the damp conditions until the spring ?
