That looks the same as mine, only with a lot more use ?

This afternoon’s outing was a trip up to some land with Longshanx, getting there around 4pm we headed straight for a small wood at the top of a large field where deer were seen grazing yesterday, now this spot is not ideal as it’s very open getting to it. We got to where we thought they would come out into the sheltered area in front of the trees and sat down in the field and waited, after half an hour the plan was to go for a walk as nothing had showed, as I lifted from the ground and glassed along the trees I noticed a deer, then another 2, we were not close enough for a shot so it was hands

Write up a bit later on, bloody hell, we worked hard for these 2, hands, knees and a killer drag across a field to somewhere we could get the motor to ?

That’s the same with everything when it comes to the end of it’s season, the amount of pheasants around the farm now is crazy because they know they are safe, well, apart from the one that keeps attacking the old girl, she ordered a hit on him ?

I checked my step thing on my phone and it said we did 8.6 miles, I’m out with Longshanx this afternoon, with a bit of luck it won’t be another 8 miles You know you are welcome anytime ?

Its a lovely place to be, the only thing that would of made it better would of been a few fallow in them fields, but it wasn’t to be

Well, it didn’t quite go to plan, but it wasn’t a total disaster Me and FOXHUNTER took a trip up to the shoot on the lookout for the fallow, he arrived at mine just before mid day and we were at the shoot a little after 1pm, setting out for a good walk we did the back of Gordon’s pen through part of the drive and headed over the piggeries before walking the length of the oak wood. Not seeing anything, we made our way past the forestry pen back towards the piggeries, just before we came to the track at the end of the wood FH clocked a ground of 3 fallow doe’s, watching them for a while it

I’ve used the LH19 lynx pro and I couldn’t find anything I didn’t like about it, even better is it’s half the price of my pulsar

Welcome to the dark side ? I’ve shot a lot of foxes with mine 99% of them under 100 yards, I like to kill them between 70/80 yards, despite what some say about its shortcomings for fox I’ve not had many run after been shot with it, had a few flip about a bit from body shots but 9 times out of 10 when head shot they drop on the spot ?

I’ve been looking at the 612, I found the right handed one for £395, new, for a lefty, £460, we are a proud people and just want to be treated fairly ? I’m going to have a good rummage at the shooting show, see if anything catches my eye
-
No, we don’t have Birds, it must be something special to beat a gregg’s corn beef pasty, it amazes me how they can fit so much heart burn into one pasty ?
-
The tag in them says XL but my fingers go all the way to the end of the glove part, so I’d say they were more like large, I normally get a size9/large and these fit my hands ?
-
The deerhunter ones are not the give away, just the hotshot ones at the top ?
-
Not yet, but I wouldn’t turn down free food, I like to hang around outside Gregg’s on the off chance people think I’m homeless and buy me a pasty, it hasn’t happened yet I got given these as well, but they are for me ?
-
I’ve been given a new pair of Hot Shot Thinsulate mittens, they don’t have the tags on them but they have never been used, they fold back with fingered gloves, they also have pockets on the back to put hand warmers in, very warm with fleece cuffs usual rules apply, if you are interested let me know below and if there’s more than one I’ll pull a name from my hat, I’ll cover the postage ( as long as it’s not some far flung corner of the world )
-
I’m from the same end of the country as you mate, You know fine well it would break my heart to part with that sort of cash ? Someone else mentioned them to me, the new pumps are about 250 quid, I’m not sure if they do them in lefty

??
-
It never cycled properly from the day I got it, I fixed it by using mini mag to shoot everything ? I shouldn’t of sold it because it did the job I got it for, I’d definitely have a pump, never had one, I used to shoot with a lad who had a mossy 500 pump and it never failed

Nice to bash a few bunnies during the day ?

Since I got rid of the hatstand escort I’ve been missing having a cheap semi to chuck on the front of the quad, now the hatstand didn’t really like anything under 36g and would jam quite often if using 32’s or something like that, when I go to the shooting show in May I’m going to have a look for a couple of hundred quid knock about, I wasn’t to fussed on another hatstand so was wondering what’s peoples thoughts on fabarm or armsan, any other cheap semi’s to look out for, keep in mind that I’m a lefty ( so suffer from cost racism ) and northern so I’m not made of money ??

Bit more water in the river today, it’s up about 7 foot looking at the water marker
-
You can still get that, I wonder if I can run my quad on it because a gallon of blue stratos is cheaper than a gallon of petrol ?
-
I thought it was going to be wet and windy, so I thought I’d just have a walk around for a bit, I couldn’t believe it when I got on the top, if it had of been just up the road from me, I would of gone back for the .243, it’s a different day today, wind and rain

Did you never put a carrot out for Rudolph, the fallow like them even more with a bit of bird puller on them

A trip up to the shoot this afternoon for a quick feed and a leg stretch, when I got on the top I was greeted by 3” of snow, after a quick blast around on the bike with a bit of wheat for the birds and a few carrots for the deer I put the bike away, grabbed the .17 and went for a walk, shooting a couple of rabbits on the way, I had the whole place to myself which was lovely. Walking around the piggeries I came across 5 deer in different places, 3 of them were shootable so that was good to see, just as I was losing the light and heading towards the field at the back of the farm I looked along t
