    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 ?

    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 ???

    These are my favourite squizzer pics the usual suspects and the Christmas wreath that she asked for but wouldn’t let me put it on the door ?

    There’s not many of them in Stockton, there’s a few more moths

    I’d of thought the facefull of woolly fanny would of reminded you of yesterday, not your youth, you sheep bothering deviant

    Nice? I’m going to have to blow the dust off the .22 and start putting it on the front of the quad again, smack a few tree rats off the feeders

    Building a private nature reserve with my mate for a woman who is a lepidopterist ( likes moths ) it must pay well, it’s a lovely bit of land next to her house that she owns, I’m only on a day rate through my mate so he will of priced this, he’s desperate to get it done in under 8 days, so there must be good money in it

    Does it remind you of your youth

    Friday night chicken dinner, with a bit of purple sprouting lemon sponge loaf for afters ? ( first time I’ve made one and it’s turned out spot on)

    So the lad has just been up to walk them in, he said everything seems to have made its way back to the pen and I believe him, he’s the longest serving member of the shoot and no idiot, so I can rest a little easier tonight and I’ll go up first thing tomorrow and he’ll walk them in tomorrow evening and with a bit of luck they will realise where they live

    Back up today and looking at them he’s given us birds of different ages, the ones in the forestry pen are all the same and seem happy enough in the pen, when I got to Gordon’s pen, well I never even got to the pen there was a good number wandering the track near the farm, not ideal seeing as they have just gone in, I walked what I could see back into the cover at the rear of the pen and hopefully they’ll hear their mates and head back around the pen,the birds that were out on the track are bigger than most of what’s in the pen some even starting to colour up, so while none of this is ideal, I’

    So the birds are in, finally, and they look good, the lad who dropped them off said they are 6 weeks, so if this is true then he knew we weren’t getting them on the date he first said, ether way they are in now and we’ll just have to make the best of it, I hung around for a few hours on the lookout for a fox, I didn’t see any, I can never work out if that’s a good thing or not, I did see quite a few deer of both flavours, it’s about time the rules were changed to allow shooting with NV and thermal because I could clearly identify each animal through both devices, there was also a few pigs abou

    I use a nightmaster low mount on mine, I have a higher one that I use when it’s mounted on the side of a scope, but find the lower one works better when mounted on top ?

    I’ve told some of the members they have people like you to thank for this season, not me and all my hard work ??
