    That’s because where you live has it’s own weather system ⛈??

    Last nights outing was unbelievable little Hugo’s dad is good mates with an under keeper on a very big grouse moor, he rang me and asked if I’d like to go and shoot some rabbits up there, I sad yes because it’s somewhere different for a walk out, he said bring the 2 .17hmr’s and the .223 and we’ll have a look for a fox as well, all the way up there he said nobody shoots rabbits up here, they don’t have time, there’s loads, I thought, if I shoot a dozen it’s ok, just nice to be out somewhere different. When we got there there was a few kicking about and before we lost the light we had sho

    Friday nights outing was a trip to a farm for some pest control on 2 strips of freshly drilled game cover, now as I was going to have a look for a buck I took the .243 with me, no pictures of the pest control because the .243 just turns them into dish cloth’s, it was a lovely evening to be out, warm and bright, after clearing some crop munchers off the cover I went for a walk looking for a buck, I spotted a deer at a good distance and stalked into it. That turned out to be a doe with a kid, no more than a couple of days old, first I’ve seen this year and lovely to spend a few minutes watching,

    It’s how the proper lads have them ?

    I got a phone call from little Hugo’s dad earlier asking if we could get out for a bit, not wanting to be out late I said we’d go and chuck a few rounds at the fox target, so we headed for the back garden of the bloke who has the helicopter. Setting the fox target at 134 yards ( full length of the back garden) we spent an hour chucking a few at it, letting the rifle cool after a few shots, it’s safe to say there’s no challenge in shooting the .243 at that distance, hitting the target every time apart from once, even Hugo’s dad didn’t fail to kill it every time, shame he can’t do it when it’s a

    When it’s free I like a venison curry ( usually the loins ?) if I was paying for it I wouldn’t put a chilli anywhere near it ?

    Another roast beef dinner today, I’m going to have to try and get her to eat something other than beef or chicken, still nice, but I wouldn’t mind pork or venison now and then

    Chicken curry, spicy not hot ?
  9. Stavross
    That folding knife is very nice ?

    Chicken curry, chicken thighs done in a very hot griddle pan before been finished in the sauce/gravy ?

    So just as the light was fading I could see a small ginger walking across the field towards the the cat food, although I was starting to lose the light I could still see it clear as day through the wraith on day/colour mode, when it reached the area I wanted it in with a good backstop I put the single red dot on it, it stopped and then moved further up the field, luckily it stopped again side on giving me enough time to get the red dot just above the left leg and down it went. By the size of it I was convinced it was a vixen so waited it out to see if there was a follower, giving it 40 minutes
  12. Stavross
    Is that what that was ?
  13. Stavross
    I don’t know what your idea of a good picnic is but cat food wouldn’t be my first choice ?
  14. Stavross
    Thought I’d give it an hour laid in the field with the sheeps, hopefully something shows, if not it’s a nice evening listening to the birds ?
  15. Stavross
    No, I could of said the 4 lads off here are spot on ?? but that would be a lie ?
  16. Stavross
    Oh yes, I’m a growing lad ?

    I enjoy the keepering once the birds go in up until we start shooting, then I worry are the birds going to be in the drives where I said they will be, will they fly and will the guns have a good day ? I also run the beaters on the day and I like to strut about shouting ?
  18. Stavross
    I think there’s a bit of knobhead in all of us ? I will say the 3 lads I’ve met off here are spot on I think shooting should be for everyone, it winds me up when people won’t help others out, it can be a foot in the door with a bit of rifle shooting or a days pheasant shooting somewhere people wouldn’t normally get the opportunity to shoot, there’s too many people involved with shooting that are like “ THIS IS MINE, ALL MINE” and are paranoid that someone will go behind their back, most people just really appreciate the help, I’ll give anyone one chance, you can normally tell what they ar

    Road planings turned up today, so tracks down and rolled, I can’t work these people out, he’s wanting a horse arena putting in at a cost of about 35k but he’s had me take old post and rail fencing down and reusing it
  20. Stavross
    It’s what it’s all about, I’ve met a lot of good people through been able to take them shooting ( and some knobheads )and some of them have become good mates, if you come as my guest it won’t cost you anything because I’m in a position to let people shoot in my place, I’ve been to cracking places shooting with people returning the favour, I would of thought the fees will have to go up next season but at the minute it looks like there’s enough money in the kitty to cover this year, even if it went to 80/90 a day you still can’t buy shooting where we are for that money ?
  21. Stavross
    It’s not about the money for me, it’s about all the other shooting opportunities I get from keepering this one, I get to invite people that otherwise wouldn’t get to shoot somewhere like this, I wouldn’t thank you for a day shooting pigeons it just doesn’t interest me, each to their own, at least these that only go out shooting pheasants are not trying to get the shooting I like, we are lucky with our syndicate in that there’s only one knobhead the rest are a really good bunch of lads and lasses
  22. Stavross
    I get why people like it because if you get a good group of people it’s a really good day out, I don’t shoot at my place but wouldn’t miss a day there, at the minute our members pay £65 a day, I don’t know of any other shoot/syndicate that is that cheap, I’ve already been offered £400 for someone to come and shoot as a guest
  23. Stavross
    Now I know that this will be of little interest to most of you as driven pheasants are not your thing, mine neither but I am an unintentional gamekeeper and the numbers I’ve just been told are mental and has put the shooting of flying chickens well out of reach for the common man that likes to buy a day or two, the estate out the back of my syndicate put a price of £100 a bird this year up from £65 last year, they are now doing a 100 bird day for £10,000, the bloke I was talking to said he had booked a day in late November on a big shoot for £4500, Jesus, theses are bloody pheasants, on the es
