?from proper Yorkshire stock me sunny Jim and the best Yorkshire, northyorkshire ?
-
That’s only with frivolous stuff, essential items we don’t mind spending a few quid on ?
-
I wish they’d crack on and get the rape and wheat down so I can start to see what’s about up at the shoot, there must be a buck up there ?
-
Friday and Saturday don’t look good which is a shame because I’ve just got another good field to shoot across the road from my shoot, it has a cracking strip of wood on it that looks like it will hold fallow, I wanted to get up there and check it out
-
Making the most of your time off ?
-
Cracking night out that, let’s hope there’s a few more out there for you ?
-
I’ve shot loads with mine and not had one run, just saying ???
-
I’d love to see you driving through the town with a buck strapped to the roof of that ?
-
Roast beef, cream mash, garlic and thyme roasties, home made yorkie puds and gravy, probably about 4000 calories, time for a nanna nap ?

Good luck ? no mist up there and I managed to dodge the rain until just after 11

Back to the sheep farm tonight and put an end to my run of bad luck ( sort of) went to the far side of the farm on the field of cut barley, 50 minutes in and spotted a fox at the bottom of the field along the fencing, I thought it was on the field side of the fence, took the shot and it disappeared, turns out it was sat up against the wire the other side and was down in the gutter where I was unable to retrieve it, I seen another one on the way back to the yard but something had spooked it as it was flat out across next doors field, one for another day

Venison saag curry ( to make it worse I used the loin ? ) different green chilli’s, it was bloody hot sausage egg chips and beans for the missus, she won’t eat this foreign muck
-
Sometimes when someone is being a tw*t you just have to tell them even if that means losing a good bit of rabbit shooting ?
-
No, I lost that bit of permission through a job I was on with the owner of the paddocks, never mix business with pleasure ?
-
Giving your head a shake ? are you made of money ? I’m just jealous, I’d love a FAC puff gun ?
-
To be fair I had one and was offered the cz along with his cabinet, ammo, few hundred cartridges and some other bits and bobs for £200, so I thought sod it, 24 hour variation and bought it, but I see where you are coming from ?
-
I had a walk around the sheep farm tonight to kill a couple of hours, seen one fox but sadly it was in next doors first, I didn’t fancy the shot as there’s about half a million quids worth of horses wandering around in it and try as I might I couldn’t get it onto my land, so I called it a night and went and splattered a few rabbits with the .223. I did see a good roe buck to take that had a very wonky head and will never make a good animal
-
See if you can through the rifle at what you are trying to hit would be my guess ?
-
That’s with zero at 100 but to be honest it wouldn’t be far off zeroed at 50 because I found there’s very little adjustment taking it from 50 to 100
-
They are flat and fast for the first 100, I will put the crosshairs smack on a rabbit between 60 and 120 yards ( I use them for pest control so perfect head shots are not what im going for ) above 120 to about 160 I’ll rest the crosshairs along the top of what I’m shooting at ( there’s about 3” drop using 17gn rounds at 150 ) above that I start using the mil and guessing a bit, they say there’s no drop up to 100 but once you pass 100 they drop off quickly, once you get about 200 you will probably get about 8” of drop
-
I love these little rifles and own 2 of them, I zero mine at 50 yards to start with and then take it out to 100, they are not as affected by wind as some think, I had my cz with me a couple of days ago and the lad that was using it was hitting rabbits between 70 and 220 yards with a stiff breeze
-
???? I’m about to lose my sh*t up at the shoot, back up tonight on the cut barley again, this time with the NV set up, got there just after 9, people walking the edge of the field from the campsite, now I’m ok with this, I’ll tell them where they can be and off they’ll go, got set up and we had just lost the light and there’s 2 girls walking in the middle of the field, though I’d just let them walk on until they started walking towards where the caller was, now I didn’t want to shout at them in the dark and frighten them so I thought I’d put the torch on so they could see we were there, big mi

75% of the time I have someone with me for 3 reasons, firstly, if I’m covering a lot of ground, it’s another pair of eyes, second, it’s someone to carry things and retrieve shot stuff and thirdly, ( this just applies to the lad who comes to the shoot with me ) I can’t fart without him wanting a sniff and if I go without him his toys come out the pram when my sheep farmer mate used to come with me I’d ring him every time I was going out, before tech, when it was just lamps and mouth calls, he could call a fox using anything from his hand to a blade of grass and wasn’t interested in shooti

I’ve found him a new ride, to go with his smooth radio ?
-
I still love watching them cutting field now, even better if they let me stand on the combine with a shotgun ?
