    Well I wasn’t wrong, that was definitely worth waiting to read when I could give it my full attention, nice work ?

    It’s a joke, the problem is they have all been enjoying their daily walk and seeing a bit of greenery and liking what they see, the amount of people that were around the shoot when I was up there was crazy and when they see me walking around with a rifle or out on the quad with a shotgun they look shocked and look at me like I’m the one that shouldn’t be there, I’m looking forward to bumping into them when I’ve got a couple of foxes draped over the front of the quad ?

    Out on a pest control job last night, the sunset was amazing ?

    I’ve had all the shooting here for a long time, if you can shoot it you will find it here, from deer to rats, not so many foxes about now though ? I’ve used them on many occasion as fox bait, I like to watch them trying to drag it away, they won’t give up a free feed ?

    I’m all excited now for an ianm write up, I’m saving this for when I get home ??

    I’ve never seen so many, this lot is a mixture of Canada and lag, so can only take the Canada at the moment, not an ideal time of year to be doing it, having to be very selective but they are a major issue here, not only are the wrecking the ponds and the other birds nesting sights ( they have even smashed the black swans eggs, the owner is fuming ? about this ) but they line out in the wheat like a forensic search team and graze off the crop like flying cows

    Nice job, I think I would take crow shooting over pigeons shooting, especially over decoys ?
  8. Stavross
    That looks a nice spot ?

    Out last night to have a look at some problem Canada’s, cleared a few from around the private duck ponds and was asked to shoot the foxes, so a few hoppers for bait strategically placed along a couple of hedge backs and I’ll be back in the next few days for a go at them, it really was a lovely evening to be out, if I didn’t have to come to work I’d of stayed out all night ?

    It looks a decent splash, I’d feed it because once you get a couple on it more will follow ?

    Well I manage to execute 3 of the egg munchers, took the missus with me. Never again, doesn’t like walking, doesn’t like the smell, doesn’t like things buzzing around her ( who does ) doesn’t like the countryside. Jesus, I’ve got a head ache ? we did see a lovely head of fallow, 7 in total, only managed to get a picture on my phone

    That’s a fine outing Bernard, definitely put a stop to some damage there ?

    I was thinking about going and sitting around the barn tomorrow where the crows are hitting the pheasants along a fence line with the little .22lr, there about half a dozen dropping into the grass and walking along the fence, there was easily 25 broken eggs along a small section of fence today

    You must vent your anger on the ginger bugger ? mat the minute up at the shoot, it’s the crows that are hitting the pheasant eggs hardest

    We have nowt but bother with them bloody black arrows, pointing out where all the game is to the predators ?
  17. Stavross
    Used them for a long time to good effect, still use a best fox call mouth caller ( about 5 quid ), far more than I use my fox pro caller, except for mating season when vixen in heat is deadly ?

    Lovely shotgun and it’s nice to treat it to some black gold, been a northerner I will, if I’m felling flush, use a bit of posh black gold on the pheasants, but normally use clear pigeon on everything, the 32 #6’s are more than up to the job, as they were before they put Andy Crow’s mug on the box and hiked the price up by about a quid a box ?

    Spotted some partridges up there as well, next door put a few hundred down last year and a few have made their way over to us and have nested, but with the crows, magpies, jays and foxes I don’t hold much hope for them, still finding a few chewed up hens so hopefully we’ll get on top of the foxes now we are back at it

    The work started today up at the shoot, a bit of social distancing pen repairs, Hugo’s dad on pop hole duty and me on fence posts, managed to get one pen sprayed off around the electric fence, a good bit of graft that needed to be done and a enjoyable couple of hours in the woods still got a few foxes about over the far side of the shoot so a couple of cage traps are set to see if we can have a few of them

    Lovely looking place that Gav, wild and rugged, just the way I like it ?

    I ride a whyte 605, I’ve had a orange, trek and many years ago a KHS and cannondale and at under £700 it’s a lot of bike for the money, it won best hard tail under £750 in mountain bike rider, I don’t give it any abuse now because I’m a fat middle aged man now but it is very nice to ride
