  1. COVID-19 stopped work today so it was up to the shoot at first light, with the sun rising as I arrived the birds were already off roost, they are spread right throughout the shoot now, not in groups anymore so some hand feeding around the feed rides and shooting the odd squizzer off a couple of feeders ?
  2. Yeah, he doesn’t look like he’s seen much action, half the ewes in the next field were bigger than him, still didn’t stop him eyeing me up
  3. Bit of a reconnaissance mission this afternoon, as the sheep farmer ask me for a deer I thought I’d have a look around his spot because if I can shoot one there it will save me shooting one somewhere else and taking it to him, so a look around and then a bit of fox calling was on the cards. on arrival it was a bit windy but dry, setting off to the top of the farm I cross a paddock containing a tup that started following me with his top lip twitching as if I was his next conquest, not wanting to loose my manhood I hopped the fence and carried on to the top where I can glass a lot of the f
  4. Yeah, was at the sheep farm before dark, but the sideways rain was a bit to much
  5. A good result, especially in the crap weather we’ve got, it beat me tonight
  6. Definitely the right way to go about it, a long time ago my mates brother wrecked a pickup that the local wrong’un had ploughed one of his fields up with, 3 weeks later one of the barns was touched
  7. They are lucky they had such understanding people to pull them out, on many places that would of been black and crispy by morning
  8. Did you get it with the mighty HMR, dog/vixen? Distance? Or did you strangle it with your bare hands in a fit of rage because it was eyeing up your ladies ?
  9. Can’t beat a bit of quality man time ? you deviant
  10. Yep, it’s blowing a hooley over this way with a bit of the wet stuff, but I’d still risk it if I thought I could get away with it to top it off the farmer from the sheep farm has just rang me asking if I could get him a roe doe, if he’d of rang earlier I could of had a run up to his spot and had a look about and wouldn’t be sat here watching strictly while the missus sits with the bloody cat on the sofa doing a crossword “ROCK AND ROLL”
  11. The missus has just said to me “ are you not going out tonight “ I said “no” she said “why not” I said “because I thought you might want me to stay in” she said “that doesn’t normally bother you” ? now will I get it in the neck if I go out or will she be ok with it mind games is what it is ?
  12. The only quick step I do, is out the door with my rifle when her backs turned ?
  13. I thought it was just because you were unsociable ?
  14. I’ve known this lad since he was 15 and he’s 40 next week and I can honestly say he’s got worse with age
  15. He asked if I wanted to go out tonight but I’d had enough of him last night ( he’s like that all the time but I never learn ) so I’m staying in tonight and going to the shoot first light in the morning on my own for some squizzer bashing
  16. Thoughts are with you and your family, at the moment I have a relative who is receiving palliative care ( he’s only 54 ) and it’s so hard on the family in so many different ways, this life can be so cruel sometimes, from reading your posts I know you will, but to others, you must make the most of life with the ones you love because no one knows what’s around the corner
  17. A trip to the sheep farm last night and an evening that didn’t start well, I’d arranged to meet up with my mate as we travel in separate cars ( social distancing and all that) I got to the place where I meet him and he wasn’t there, I waited 10 minutes and he still hadn’t turned up, so I thought I’d give him a ring, bugger, left my phone at home, so I waited. 20 minutes later he arrived with some excuse I wasn’t listening to, so we set off, 20 minutes later on the back roads to the farm he was no longer behind me, so I pulled over and give him a couple of minutes before turning round to go fin
  18. A mate of mine has one on his farm ( we know them as ladder traps ) it’s mad how many you get in them, they used to put his lad in to dispatch them, there’s something not quite right with that lad he seemed to enjoy it a bit to much
  19. There should be a nice little Christmas box coming your way ?
  20. Horrible buggers, I’ve seen ewes cast or stuck somewhere ( because they are idiots) and the crows mobbing them, they are not called a murder for nothing, they have made an appearance back on the sheep farm, they disappeared after they got rid of the beast, the farmer told me they are back in smaller numbers, in the past me and my mate Mosh had some cracking mornings at them
