The queen said I could have a couple of days off, the missus said I had to put a new back fence up

Well I never got my buck, only seen one doe, I suppose it was a little early not tending to see much emerging from the wood before last light, as I walked the bottom gutter towards the wood I glimpsed a flash of ginger along the bottom of the field, it was a fox no more than 40 yards walking towards me, as I seen it, it seen me, turned tail and ran, not even giving me enough time to mount the rifle Now I know different shooters like different types of shooting, but the ultimate over all other shooting for me is daylight fox shooting, especially on a warm bright evening, I love it and can s

A lovely early evening so having a bit of time on my hands I thought I’d have a look for a buck for an hour or so, there’s loads of young hares about. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the queen for giving me the time to get out for a look about, cheers Liz ? wish me luck ?

Can’t believe you have lined the rats out ?? good on ya ?

There’s nothing cheap at the place that supplies there ammo, I was in there last week and he was trying to sell me some food grade tin ammo for the .243 at 64 quid for 20 ?

I’m no David Bailey and at 2 in the morning, still having to unzip a few so Longshanx’s mate can feed his dogs I couldn’t be arsed lining them out, I’d of liked to take a picture of everything but once there’s 10-15 in the game bag it’s backbreaking walking back and forwards to the motor

Almost, there was a few times when you were just about to take a shot and a big turkey head would fill the scope ?
-
To be honest I didn’t notice any difference with them ( apart from the price on the box, £97 for 200 ?) we had Winchester HV’s and Hornady and they all grouped pretty similar, we used a lot more of the A17’s just because he doesn’t pay for them, the estate does

Back up on the moor tonight for another go at the rabbits, first off a stop off at the under keepers house for a cup of tea and a catch up as I haven’t seen him since he was up for a day on the pheasants with us in the winter, after and hours chat and a go at a couple of his targets, we headed out, there wasn’t much about until it got dark, then they came out, we stayed in the fields we were in last Sunday to get on top of this area first, we shot 76 this time, the picture is of the 30 or so we took away, looking across the valley with the thermal I counted 68 in one field, so we’ll have to ha

That looks handsome Arry ?

Grass secured, sanded and brushed, soil levelled out and grass seeded, job done, another day on the kids playground and that will be finished ?

Fake grass today

I totally agree with not using lead shot around lakes and ponds and with not using lead in fishing, the fish hoover it up and there’s been a lot written on the poisoning of fish
-
Part of the argument is that the lead is on the surface and in a ingestible state, where it can harm ( poison ) much like the banning of lead around water, only without the evidence that birds and mammals are ingesting it, unlike the fish with the shot
-
Around 50 quid seems to be the norm for none lead at the minute, it’s like everything, over time it will come down in price, I don’t have a problem with using it as long as it’s as good or better than lead, I just don’t know what they are going to come up with to replace a .22 sub, at the minute it seems like legislation is moving faster than replacement bullet development

You will have to get yourself one of the new fangled upside down wrong way round shotguns ?? the lad in the shop was showing me some rounds for his 308 that were food grade tin 139gn, he said they were better than the lead alternative but were £64 a box ?
-
Took my little HMR out this evening, lovely evening a handful of rabbits, bit of practice before a trip back up the moor tomorrow night ?
-
It started off with them not wanting it in the food chain ( sort of understandable) then in order to get a full ban they changed to say they don’t want it in the environment, like you I think a full lead ban is on its way, I was looking at some lead free .243 gear the other day, the lad in the shop was telling me how good it was, good it may be, but at almost 50 quid for 20 he can keep them

I used to do loads of work for them when I was mechanicing, they were called A Plant back then, them lot knew how to wreck a van
-
Shouldn’t hire dumpers off some 2 bit company ? we have managed to use it for half a day and not paid for the days hire, hire charge starts on Monday now ?
-
Everything fixed so back at it in the sunshine ?

Dumper’s fu*ked now, overheating At least the sun has come out
