Feeding again today and it was bloody hot, the birds are looking fantastic, ( I keep thinking something will go wrong) they have done a pallet of feed in 3 weeks, they have slowed up in Gordon’s pen but they are out around the back of the pen filling there faces with brambles, I’ve still only had 2 dead in one of the pens and one of them got itself stuck in the wire, it’s made a massive difference with us having 3 weeks of dry weather since they went in, fingers crossed they keep going the way they are ?

At least if she was born a scouser Ben would of saved a fortune on nappies because she would of went out and nicked her own ?

Mainly reared but a good number of wild, probably going to be the geese isn’t it

I thought I had a good weekend, but you have trumped me congratulations ? on the birth of your little English princess ?

I know, but the tight northerner in me says duck, because it would be serious money to shoot duck on these ponds ?
-
It was a proper red letter day for me FH will tell you how hard we work for foxes up this way, they were running around like rabbits down there I’ll have to flip a coin with the duck and geese, I don’t know what I’d prefer ?

Well here we go with me little adventure I arrived at Mr Foxers at 5pm to a cup of tea in the garden with Mr and Mrs Foxer and little Miss Foxer after a catch up it was off out for a takeaway, suitably filled it was time to head out to meet up with Ric ( our fine driver and guide for the evening) and his custom freelander we would be shooting from. It wasn’t long before we were on our first 2 in the same field, taking a shot at the closest one to me it was a definite hit ( number 1 )but it made it through some thick cover and the other one was off out of sight, try as we may, we couldn’t

On route ??

Second hand tikka for that money if it’s a package you want for around a grand then Remington 700, good functional rifle, but a bit rattly or there’s the Howa 1500 if you need something to wack a fence post in, because there not much good for owt else ( just my opinion, I’m sure someone somewhere loves them ) I’d definitely look for a second hand tikka from a reputable gun dealer ? P.S why do you want .223 for long distance

All we can do is try ?

Just myself to feed tonight, so something quick, pasta carbonara ( proper one, no cream or wine ) ?

Feeding again today and they are hammering the feed, they have been in coming up 2 weeks now and have done over half a ton of pellets, they are growing in confidence by the day, they are moving further out during the day with the poults from Gordon’s pen now making it to the cow field alongside the farm, so a couple of the members will have to do a bit of dogging in as at the minute I don’t want them that far out, over at the forestry pen they seem a little more settled and happy just to hang around the rear of the pen but it will not be long before these start heading further out into the ro

Just a couple of hours at my mates place tonight on the lookout for foxes, I took longshanx with me to have a look for a deer as we wandered around in the hour before dark, we did bump one deer but the wind was all wrong and off it went, it was a good way off and did look like a doe through the bino’s, once we lost the light we had a call along the wood but no foxes showed, which was surprising as there’s normally a few kicking about once the crop comes down along the wood, so we called it a night, not before taking 2 hares off the front field, that I’m asked to do because of the problems they

What, the woolly ones or the ones that come in pint glasses?

Lovely place Masham, I hope you indulged in a couple of pints of the black sheep ? you will of past by my shoot heading to the Malton to Pickering road, I’m 5 minutes from Helmsley which you would of probably gone through unless your sat nav took you past the entrance to my shoot ?
-
I thought better of you, you old soak ? It drives me nuts the amount of rubbish I find around the place, I can’t see why they just can’t take it home with them, the biggest thing that annoys me is dog sh*t in a bag, Your in the countryside you tw*t, there’s sh*t everywhere, just let your pointless little handbag dog sh*t in the woods instead of putting it in a plastic bag and hanging off a tree ?

Pork sausages, cream mash, carrots, cavolo nero and apple gravy, I could eat that again ?
-
I was going to go out tonight, but decided on a bit of armchair hunting instead ???
-
Pork sausages cooked with apples, we’ll see how this turns out ?

Up to feed again today and my usual route ( Sutton Bank ) was shut, so a 15 minutes detour was needed, a bit of an inconvenience but a lovely drive through stunning North Yorkshire villages like coxwold, wass and bylands ( I almost feel guilty driving a car through places like this, it’s like going back in time )with it’s amazing 12th century Bylands Abby, I love stuff like that and it blows my mind how these folk built such amazing buildings with their bare hands once I arrived at the shoot I went to the yard where the old girl was picking brambles, telling me she’s sorry but I wasn’t g

Shiitake mushrooms, white wine, cream and garlic, on garlic toast, just need to be able to make it look nice now

Beautie that mate, you can send the quackers this way if you want ? you can keep them flying cow though ?

A trip to the sheep farm tonight and a very frustrating night it was, it’s bad enough when you don’t see any foxes, but when you see 3 and can’t get a shot at any of them it’s enough to drive you mad, first one winded us straight away, second one wasn’t interested in the call and disappeared through a hedge towards the stables next door and the third sat in next doors field ( almost exactly where I shot a roe buck with FH ) we were a good way from it but it showed an interest in a hare distress call and started to make its way towards us, it stopped just up from the gutter and I could of taken

Wow, the land you hunt is stunning, you must feel very lucky to be in such a beautiful place ?
