A first for me, 1 shot with the .22, 3 young rabbits, they were all together just outside the burrow ??????
-
He shot it ?
-
That’s what I have on the .223, it’s a good NV for the money ?
-
That’s a cracking stalk ?
-
Is that a wraith on top there coot?
-
Get yourself on the air rifle section and join in, there’s a few on there from around your area, they are a friendly pi*s taking bunch and if you join in a bit and they get to know you a little, one might help you out, best of luck ?
-
I only have 2 places I will shoot foxes right through now until the cubs are out and about and they are the shoot and the sheep farm, even then I don’t hammer the shoot, I like to start again up there around June ?
-
Well, I went to the shoot last night and took him with me, he didn’t bring his sticks and there was no mention of wanting to shoot, I should of let him because there wasn’t a fox to be seen, just badgers eating my rabbits I’d put down, once the moon came out we headed to the back field of the farm where there’s cover from the moon, gave it half a hour but seen nothing apart from a couple of roe and a young fallow buck
-
Lad from last weeks trip to the shoot has just text me asking “ are you out tonight and do I want to go and see if WE can get that fox from last week “ what do you think ? ?
-
Out done myself today, garlic roast chicken, cream mash, thyme and black pepper roast spuds, bit of veg, roasting tin chicken stock and white wine gravy, I’m going to need a nanna nap before I go out foxing tonight ?
-
I’m not made of money, I was thinking second hand 007 ? When they got the place they got them on the land every week, they have spent a fortune on flood lights, SMS cameras and have put gates up and a barrier so they can’t pull off the road, he said it’s made a massive difference but you shouldn’t have to spend that sort of money because some tw*t thinks they can just go where they want
-
Well, not a bad walk out, 12 rabbits and 2 hares, I took the hares off the front field as he asked me to do, I counted another 16 around the back of the farm but I don’t like shooting them if they are going to go to waste, I kept 4 of the rabbits for fox bait, the little HMR did the job with the nightsite on ( I know most people don’t like them but it works, I was thinking of getting rid of it and getting a pard but haven’t made my mind up yet) should of had a few more but the moon was a nightmare
-
Nice and still around these parts, still quite warm, looks like a nice evening for a walk out ?
-
Well it was looking like a boring evening, just had a phone call from a mate telling me there’s rabbits and hares all over the place ? ( farmer’s millions) so a trip out with the HMR is on the cards now, he said he’s sick of chasing people off the front fields so he wants them gone, not sure how I’m going to explain to the hares that they will be ok if they stay on the back fields away from the road ?
-
well he [BANNED TEXT]t tothe ground i had opposite his and told them he would control the moles for them and any other vermin free of charge ifthey gave him exclusive access to the ground for fox anddeer. So by helping him get his fac i lost a good lump ofground. I would of smacked his nose out the back of his head ive only had it happen to me once and it put me off taking people out for quite a while, the good thing is I know all my land owners very well so the first thing they would do is ring me, takes some balls to do that, especially when you have no idea what sort of

She’s a cracker ?
-
That’s because you couldn’t work out it was double trigger and couldn’t get enough shots off ?
-
All the feeders and drinkers gathered up, all the rubbish around the pens cleaned away and 32 cartridges picked up on my travels, even though I tell them to take them home with them?seen about 40 pheasants, half a dozen partridges and 7 deer of different makes, spring is definitely here ?
-
Preparation for next weeks time off, 15kg of carrots for the fallow ( 2 doe’s have just passed me on the track over the piggeries) 10 rabbits for baiting the hedge backs for fantastic mr fox and the last of the wheat for the birds, spring is definitely here, it’s perfect up here today, a light breeze and not a cloud in the sky ?
-
It’s because I’m not there ??
-
Finished in 2 days, where the other bloke got nearly 2 weeks and 1400 quid from I have no idea, the old boy is over the moon and has asked me to put some rabbit fencing around his raised beds tomorrow and would I shoot the rabbits on his 70 acres of land, everyone’s a winner ?
-
It is Durham, anything could happen up there ?
-
Good to see you making the most of your bit of down time before you rejoin the rat race ?
-
There’s loads of work, I’ve just been and priced a patio, put a quote in for what I thought was a bit to much, she said yes there and then, turns out I was 1200 quid cheaper than the next quote, not sure when I’m going to fit it in ?
-
105 stepping stones across the grass to the pond and a armillary sundial in the middle, I’m glad I got to do this for the old dears because someone else had quoted almost 2 weeks and 1400 quid to do it, I quoted 2 days and I’m still making good money from it, it fu*ks me off that some people think that because they have a few quid it’s ok to try and mug as much out of them as you can
