I’ve not heard them shouting yet around where I live, but I am starting to see a good few wandering about on a morning, so they are out looking for love ( or a free feed )
-
2 doe’s nutting my feeder over the piggeries, the buggers ?
-
This is what I want ? I went to feed this morning because I couldn’t get there yesterday and at 2 degrees and a hard ground frost I couldn’t of been happier, I got there just after first light so I could see what headed where after coming off roost, I’m glad I did because I’ve got a big group coming through the farm, behind the caravan at the back and then down towards what I know as the tip, I was sure these would of gone to the oak wood drive, but no, they seem to like going the long way round to the tip, unless you see them you will never guess where these idiots decide to go

If I could only have 1, it would be the .17, the .22 just gets chucked on the front of the quad now for shooting squizzers, the .17 shoots a lot further and makes the deader ??
-
Without doing anything to them, the cz is better than the browning, that’s not to say the browning is bad and as you know they have a lot of nice little touches on the T bolt
-
Yeah, I’ve got a browning T bolt and a cz, you can never have to much of a good thing, to be honest the cz gets far more use than the browning, I’m going to make a point of giving it a run out this week

Welcome to a very exclusive club ( the I have 2 .17HMR’s club) it’s always good to welcome a new member, now there’s 2 of us ?
-
If they find you bobbing about in the channel you might end up with a free house and on the rich list with the amount of benefits they chuck at you ?
-
I don’t know why the keeper never fits the narrative, I know they are a rum bunch, bad tempered, often use very colourful language and call a spade a spade but one thing is certain, they are the definition of a character ?
-
Best of luck to you, I bet you will be missed on the estate ?
-
Without doubt if you want something doing, just do it yourself, one of the other members who likes to be involved ( when it suits him ) said he would feed this weekend, I said I want it doing today because next door are shooting and I want them to know there’s someone about, 2 o’clock this afternoon he rings me, I said “ how’d you get on “ to which he replied “ I haven’t been, I had to take the young lad out, I’ll go for 7 in the morning “ ?no you won’t it will be just light and I don’t want you pushing them around when they have just come off roost, I’ll go now, so me and the missus set

I had another go at the sheep farm tonight, weather looked perfect, no moon and a good breeze, on arrival I looked around with the thermal and noticed there was very little about. I thought this was a bit strange looking at the weather but it seems sometimes although it looks near perfect it just doesn’t play out the way you expect it to, after an hour and a half and no sign of a fox ( or deer, badger or hare, come to think of it) I headed back to the farm, shooting half a dozen rabbits with the .223 on the way, until I thought these are costing me about £1.40 each, so stopped, it does absolut
-
Thank you very much, when people describe me as proper it’s normally followed by a 4 letter swear word ( the one that the missus won’t let me say )??
-
Sproxton shoot syndicate bramble gin bottled and ready for when it’s my turn to provide elevenses ?
-
I’m no nothing about bullets, but I’d guess at something really light, 35gr ? Just because of how well it will frag instead of going through
-
.204
-
.22-250 or my favourite.243
-
The pair that I had were really good, even though they were old and I’d bought them second hand, at the time nothing matched them for clarity or quality, but now everyone has upped there game and Swarovski have just upped their prices, that’s not to say I wouldn’t love a pair of the EL range
-
It took a couple of days, the uk supplier seems to hold a lot of stock, it’s a shame the shooting shows haven’t started because they always have a stand at them and you can have a look to see what you like best, I think I paid £680 for it and I don’t think it mattered what reticule it came with
-
.22 hornet ( I’m just saying random calibre’s now because it’s probably something I’ve never heard of ?)
-
I’ve got a vortex viper 6-24x50 HS long range scope on my .243 I had to order it with just a straight forward crosshair because I can’t be doing with a busy reticule, it is quite fine but is crystal clear when you put your eye to it, I’ve used it many times on a lamp shooting foxes and it can be seen no problem on a red lamp
-
Cheers mate, it’s the right time of year for it, low sun and amazing colours ?
-
I’ve had a fair few pairs of binoculars ( and bust them all ) I’ve had an old pair of Swarovski that were good and a pair of Carl Zeiss that were ok but no better than the vortex, everything else hasn’t been a patch on the vortex, for the money you won’t go wrong, like the scopes they are really good in low light, my mate has the vortex diamondbacks they are a bit more money but are even better in low light
-
.17wsm? .22wmr?
-
They are the same, only difference is they are 10x42 and mine are 8x42, I was going to replace mine from there because you get the front harness bag with them, until I found out I could have them replaced for free, the harness bags about 45 quid to buy on it own
