    I don’t know if this is of any interest to any of you lot i’ve got a 12 gauge 25 cartridge belt, no makers name on it but it does seem well made, it looks like it’s been used once or twice if it’s of any use to any of you then you can have it, if there’s a couple interest then I’ll pull names from a hat, I don’t want anything for it and I’ll cover the postage, just seems a shame for it to sit in the back of a cupboard when someone could use it

    Cottage pie, thyme and garlic roast spuds, purple sprouting and cavolo nero and a chicken dinner for today, not had one of them for a good while
  3. Stavross
    Yeah, I’m not sure what make, I haven’t seen much about lately, this is the first I’ve seen near a pen, the reflective tape seems to have done the trick

    Back to the shoot yesterday and it’s looking good, fingers crossed the birds will be ready by the 6th, something has wrecked a bird not far from Gordon’s pen, leaving a pile of feathers and what’s left of a drumstick ?

    Error 404? working again now

    Sounds like a near perfect day to me, coot ?

    I was in a similar situation, went back to the sheep farm on the hunt for another monster fox, got there, nice and cloudy, walking around, plenty of stuff about, rabbits, roe, hares and pigs, got to where I wanted to be and the clouds cleared and almost everything disappeared, so called it a night and shot half a dozen rabbits on the way back to the car, I was almost disappointed when this 100+ yarder’s head was still attached ?

    For an all rounder you won’t buy better than ridgeline, for when I’m with the posh nobs on shoot days I’ve got my Musto keepers jacket ( not cheap, but the best jacket I’ve owned ) shooterking is to expensive and doesn’t look as good as Musto and shoffel, just my opinion, it means nothing in my house and I don’t expect it to mean anything here ?

    Back up feeding today and the dog walkers are driving me mad, I’ve put a sign up at the entrance to one of the the drives, for what good it will do, no doubt they’ll ignore it or kick it over, on a brighter note this weather is what I’d expect and the birds are tailing up nicely, so long may it continue, my feeding of next doors birds is working a treat, they are spending all day in my fields now and were enjoying the last of the sunshine this afternoon along the hedge back I’m feeding them on. I was told they had their first day yesterday, I hope it was a partridge day because their pheasants

    Weather is looking decent coot, hope you have a cracking day ?

    I’d shoot them now, just to annoy him, obviously I’d want him there to see me do it ?

    This is what it should be like, lovely clear blue sky and about 6 degrees, we need a bit of frost on a night now and I think my birds will be ok for the first day in November ?
  13. Stavross
    Yeah, it’s a lot of woods, it does make some really good pheasant shooting, it’s all farmed for timber in forestry blocks by the forestry commission, but it’s privately owned and leased to them, we have got a few fields and if we were to put strip cover in ( like maize ) we could probably hold partridge but that would just be another thing for me to worry about and most of them don’t appreciate what I do now, so sod’em?

    You should be grateful that this fine land has welcomed you with open arms, even though your lot has a dubious history with our woolly friends ?

    His birds are no where near mine, ( they put about 3000 down ) by this time of year they know where they live, so what you get is his birds coming out onto my shoot and you just need to keep them interested with feed and go around them to stop them heading for home, we are not set up for partridge with it been 80% woodland, saying that nether are they, that’s why you find them walking down forestry track looking confused
  16. Stavross
    That’s the plan, I’m thinking I might push them through the rape and over the trees and stand the guns on the track the other side of the trees ( that’s where the gutter is we walked past that looks like it should be full of roe ) I’m getting a few of their partridge along my oak wood drive as well, which will be something a bit different as we’ve never put partridge down its a shame he is the way he is, the keepers that have been there before have always been spot on and we would help each other out and never do anything like this, but if you are seen dogging birds off my fields, if I ca

    I find it the ideal gun to have on the front of bike, there’s not a pest it won’t deal with ?

    Up feeding this afternoon and autumn is fully here even though it’s about 20 degrees, the birds are starting to tail up, some a lot quicker than others. I’ve got birds throughout the shoot now and at the minute they are doing what I want them to, by moving around in groups and not all just walking off together. Speaking to the old girl it seems next doors keeper is being his usual dickhead self, by bashing his gums at the old girls daughter, so that’s it fu*k him, I’m going to carry on feeding his birds onto my land and then I’m going to let the members shoot them all ? I was telling the shoot

    I like the little.22 for shooting them off the feeders around the shoot, I used to use the hatstand semi for shooting them out the trees but I don’t have that anymore, I like to leave some up in the trees for the kids to have a go at on shoot days ive always wanted a hushpower, but for some reason I’ve never got round to getting one
  20. Stavross
    I’ve screen shotted that, I’m taking you down Bhoy ?
  21. Stavross
    Was that baaaarbra ?

    I’ve been a HGV mechanic for the last 25 years, I’m just making this sh*t up as I go along ?
  23. Stavross
    This is a nice one, like a bottle of pop

    I’ve just dug the luggage scales out the cupboard ( don’t think we’ll be using them for a while, I don’t like going on holiday anyway) and put them in my rifle bag, bit like closing the stable door after the horse has bolted but you never know I might come across another big’un in the future
  25. Stavross
    That looks amazing ?
