    That’s some shooting ? I’ve never had 100 bird day, come close once or twice but I’d of definitely had more shots than you

    Just out of interest Ian, would you neck shoot it face on, I’ve just had this discussion with little Hugo’s dad and he said he would where as I said I wouldn’t take a shot at a deer that was facing me, then again I don’t shoot many deer

    Face like a bag of smashed crabs

    Longshanx will have to get you a picture, it could be a good little earner for him selling them for people to put on their mantelpiece to keep the kids away from the fire

    Well not a fox to be seen so I called it a night just before 12, drive out of the farm my phone rang “ farmer John “ asking if I’d had any luck with the foxes, after telling him I’d seen nothing he went on to say “ you should try the front fields, I seen two cubs crossing the road into the front field last night” this information might of been more use to me earlier in the day when I spoke to him, anyway he told me about another field they have rented for grazing in walking distance from the farm and that there’s a small wood at the rear that might be worth a call, with a bit of luck I’ll get

    A cracking result Bernard, glad to see you are getting on with the fat air rifle and it’s doing the business for you ?

    So, we have came back to the sheep farm for that buck, walked the long way around because the wind was all wrong, spotted him in next doors wheat making his way to our side, we lost sight of him so moved to the bottom of the field, Hugo’s dad seen him coming through the hedge when we were expecting it to be in the grass field next to us. So it didn’t offer a shot, just looked at us face on before hopping the gutter and away, if it wasn’t such a magnificent beast I would of head shot it also if we had stayed where we were when we first seen him the shot would of been on, I’ve now remembered why

    I’m not playing if there’s no prize ?

    Well there’s 15 minutes of my life I won’t get back, do I win a prize

    A wander around the shoot this evening for no other reason than I wanted to go for a walk, obviously I had a rifle over my shoulder and tonight’s rifle of choice was the .17. It was 50/50 if I was going to get soaked as it seemed to be raining all around me but it was warm and I thought I’m waterproof so set off, passing the beast field next to the farm I shot a couple of rabbits that would no doubt be heading over to the garden to finish off the row of peas they have had a good go at, heading over the far side of the shoot I stopped when I noticed some movement in the bracken, rifle up on the

    They are a cracking truck, I almost bought the new one last year but the missus was having none of it, I’ve had a jimny as a shoot truck that out in the field never let me down, the only problem was Suzuki make them biodegradable and it got to the point where it wasn’t worth repairing, in my younger days I had a couple of Suzuki sj’s, you could pick them up for nothing and they would go anywhere a land rover would go

    It saddens me, but I’m afraid you may be right

    Wow, that’s mad, they have gone about this all wrong, the focus has been the spread of bovine TB, when if they had come at it from another angle and to me a more important one, that is the fact that there’s far to many and have become an apex predator, destroying habitat and having a detrimental effect on native wildlife, maybe the general public would be more in favour of the control of this menace instead of been brain washed by the lies and complete lack of understanding of how these animals behave spouted by the idiots at wild justice ?

    Another cracking write up Ian and that is a smart looking truck ?
  19. Stavross
    That’s a lovely looking spot ?

    He’s a prosecution barrister that likes trees and keeping his eye on me ( each to their own) I’ve been there again today and it’s amazing that when the trains go over you can hardly hear them, it’s an unbelievable bit of engineering, his house was built in 1810 and then they built the viaduct in 1849, to think that every brick and sandstone block was cut and laid by hand, no diggers and Stihl saws for this lot, I bet a few lost their lives working on it

    We do this on part of the shoot, bit over the top but the fallow just smash anything else up

    It does flood ever year even though the tees has had a barrage for the past 20 years, they have flood gates against the river and it would need to come up about 5 meters to reach the house, but I know what you mean, a couple of days of heavy rain and it would be twitchy bum time for me, he said the last time the house flooded was 1930 well before the barrage was installed
  23. Stavross
    Nothing to do with any of this nonsense but I thought I’d put a picture up from where I’ve been working today, this is the bottom of his garden, river tees at the Yarm viaduct. And he has no interest in fishing, places like this are wasted on people like that

    I really don’t want to shoot it bad enough to have to smell like it ? I’d never be allowed back in the house

    After receiving a message from longshanx earlier today asking if I wanted a trap to the stables with him as the lad there had contacted him saying he had a problem fox, I thought it would be rude not to as it’s 5 minutes from my front door. I met him there a little before 8 and we hatched our plan, a walk to the top field and set the caller half way down the field and stud in the corner, it was a cock pheasant that gave the fox up, as I glassed towards the distressed bird I spotted the ginger trotting towards the cub distress call, as longshanx dusted off the .308 the fox suddenly stopped and
