    I think it’s a bit beyond me, I’m much more of a big spanner’s and hammers kind of fella, if it doesn’t work when you hit it the first time, hit it again but harder, making things look pretty has never been my strong point ?

    No shooting here, the place is like a zoo, along with the race horses there’s alpaca, sheep, goats, donkeys, some posh looking chickens and guinea fowl, a couple of years ago we put a pond in for him that you can row a boat around, when I pulled in today they must of been 50 ducks on it, my mate has been on at him most of the day to have an evening on the pond, but he’s having none of it, saying his shooting days are over and he likes to just watch them now ?

    I’ve just had a look at them and there’s a few for sale, in the condition it’s in I’d say it’s worth between 6 and 8 grand, fully restored they are upwards of 25k another thing is it says the 2 cylinder engine is 22hp with that kind of power you would be better off with a horse

    Nothing to do with any of this but I was wondering if any of you lot are interested in old mechanical stuff, I love proper old engineering and I’ve never seen one of these before it’s a 1940’s ( I think) Porsche 2 cylinder, air cooled diesel tractor. Where I was working today the shed is like an Aladdin’s cave, I was having a mooch to see if there was anything I could tap off him and he started tell me it hadn’t started for over 30 years and if I could get it running he’d give me 20 quid, he said they had played with it but couldn’t get it to start. After a quick look I noticed someone h

    There is a pheasant that has got all territorial near my feed shed . He comes and attacks me , I’ve given him a taste of my size 11 Le chameau’s , but it just makes him all the madder . It’s him or me , who’s going to be the boss ? by the way he’s eyeing you up, think we all know who the boss is ?

    Arrr, the kappa slapper tracksuit, takes me back to my raving days in the early 90’s, simpler times, still spend most of my time in fields but now I don’t jump about like zebedee from the magic roundabout ?

    A cracking write up and a great result, but bloody hell, your write ups are getting as long as ianm’s, I have to sit down with a brew ??

    That fox looks like how I felt this morning after half a bottle of the cheapest wine money can buy, due to my early finish last night when the fog stopped play ?? good job ?

    I had a do up the sheep farm last night and the fog was crazy, we seen 2 foxes through the thermal but couldn’t get a shot at them with the fog been so bad, the NV was a no go with the ir white out, so just stuck with the lamp and old scope, but needed to get them in to about 70 ish yards to get any eye shine, with a bit of look we’ll have some clear nights this week

    Feeding time again and it’s poring down and foggy but we’ve got to keep these birds happy for another 4 weeks ?

    It shoots the cheap hornady I got ok, I used them to zero it and was getting 1” ish group at 100 yards, tried some sako 50gn and it shot them a little better but they are 27 quid a box
  14. Stavross
    Just the standard 100 yards ?
  15. Stavross
    Lovely job, glad to see you are getting some use from them ?

    As trumpy would say “FAKE NEWS” sadly the bullsh*t mill keep turning and keeps simple folk listening to them and even worse, funding them
  17. Stavross
    Well the .223 is zeroed and now it’s time to get up the sheep farm as lambing will soon be upon us ??

    The papers that printed the story should be made to print that, but they won’t, so the majority of people will just hear the lies from that badger bothering cock womble

    You are looking sweet there Ben ?

    I’ve never been any good at that, at least with the mouth call I know what sounds going to come out
  21. Stavross
    I just can’t make that shagging vixen sound no matter how hard I try ? most of the time when I’m out on my own I use a mouth call to good effect, I still can’t use one of them metal hare whistles though, I just end up spitting all over myself

    The last couple of outings a pray call has produced nothing as soon as we switched to vixen in heat, bingo, I had one running in the other night and the lad I was with switched the call to fox bark and it stopped in its tracks then shot off in the opposite direction ? the whopper

    Well first day over and the last for at least 5 weeks, we were light on beaters and guns today as it was a last minute thing but we made the best of it. It was a bit different with the social distancing and no stopping at 11, but it didn’t put to much of a dampener on things, the drive before lunch produced some lovely birds with my sheep farmer mate Mosh in the thick of it, bagging himself 10 birds on that drive, he was in the action on the last drive of the day, taking another 8, I didn’t think they would fly very well today with no wind but they did fly well for most of the drives, I had a
