    That’s walking up the bank towards the piggeries, it was a lovely morning with a bit of an autumnal feel to it ? P.S. I like the 4th picture ??

    Well, I was back there at sparrow fart today as the birds at Gordon’s pen are giving me sleepless nights, I had visions of getting to the pen and it been empty, but when I got there I was surprised how many were actually in the pen, I put 300 in this one and I’d of said there was easily over 200 in the pen and a good number around it in the brambles, so hopefully they know now where they live, the birds in general look really well, I’ve had one dead in the pen and a idiot that got itself stuck in the top of the fence, so them two have become fox bait over the far side, I’m starting to get a f

    I’ve just started rewatching that, when I get an hour to myself, I’d agree it’s probably the best angling series made, a very close second would be “ A passion for angling “ ?

    Cheers mate, I think I need to practice a bit more to get to Arry’s standard, shame your not closer I like to feed people who appreciate it, the missus would pick a McDonald’s over some proper food ?

    It’s quality when you get a lad like that, you know your onto a winner when they listen and when they get to take a shot and you watch them and they are calm and nothing is rushed it make me happy and I think that what we do isn’t finished just yet ?

    Not big numbers but this was the first time I had the pleasure of standing on the front of a combine, I can’t think of any shotgun shooting I enjoyed more than this, I missed loads more than I hit but drive by rabbits is really good fun

    Yeah, would be nice to be able to keep them in the pens for a bit though, if I could be up there all the time clipping them would be ideal, there was one yesterday that got up and if it had of been November there would of been a fair bit of lead chucked at it ?
  16. Stavross
    Yeah, I couldn’t believe how many were in the trees on the first night and how high they were

    When I spoke to him he said they are 7 weeks, they do all theirs on a 7 week cycle, we got the very last of them, they look really well, as they always do from him, since they went in on Thursday they had 2 dry/warm nights, tonight it has shot it down for a couple of hours

    Going off what he told me they will be 19 weeks around the 25th of November, nothing is clipped, that’s why the buggers are all over the place, when I was there today 70% of them had hopped the fence at Gordon’s pen and were in the bracken and brambles, I had that horrible sinking feeling when I got to the pen, even though I couldn’t see many I had a good idea where they were and when the lad went up tonight he said there was a lot back in the pen ( he says a lot but there’s only 300 and you can soon lose 300 around there ) and around it, these are the problems we have been hobby keepers, not

    My best day at the shoot, when I used to shoot it if you’d ever seen me with a shotgun you’d never believe that these numbers would be possible ?

    That’s great stuff, 195 for your first fox is very impressive, the cool, calmness and confidence of youth ???
