  1. 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 ??
  2. 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 ?
  3. 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
  4. Feeding time again and it’s poring down and foggy but we’ve got to keep these birds happy for another 4 weeks ?
  5. 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
  6. Lovely job, glad to see you are getting some use from them ?
  7. 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
  8. Well the .223 is zeroed and now it’s time to get up the sheep farm as lambing will soon be upon us ??
  9. 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
  10. I’ve never been any good at that, at least with the mouth call I know what sounds going to come out
  11. 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
  12. 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
  13. 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.

  14. They haven’t really started calling here yet, they are definitely coming in to vixen in heat call and ignoring any call that’s food related
  15. First day out and a beautiful day it is, it’s definitely a little different sticking to the new rules ?
  16. What’s happened to you ? corrupted by fresh air ? the .308 will kill everything
  17. If you have a few different calibre’s on your ticket you can buy a lot of ammo
  18. That first bit with the fox calling is quality ?
  19. Talking to the lad in the gun shop today, people were panic buying ammo, even though they are doing a click and collect service, so I thought I’d join in ?
  20. I’m financially embarrassed now and can’t even tap the missus because she’s blown all her cash on a pointless new car that I can’t even take shooting
  21. If you are on your own and it’s pest control, I can’t see a problem with you travelling
  22. The mods is the new dpt ive got some bargain bucket hornady 55gn, £17.50 a box, I hope it likes them because the sako gear is about 27 quid a box
