    We have nowt but bother with them bloody black arrows, pointing out where all the game is to the predators ?
  2. 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

    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

    Well happy birthday for tomorrow old boy ???
  11. Stavross
    Is it your birthday ? by any chance and has someone been spoiling you ?

    My first question is, have you seen duck on it and has it got clear space for the duck to come in high or will you have to clear a bit of timber, if you have see duck coming in then spend a bit of time watching where they come from, feed the edges with corn and a few spuds ?

    The missus has a black and white bag of sh*te not dissimilar to that training aid of your granddaughters, when she’s ready to move up to live quarry give me a shout and I’ll send the horrible little tw*t down to you ? ( free of charge of course )?
  14. Stavross
    That’s what I do, got 2 .17’s, the browning has and mtc viper on it and the cz used to have a Yukon on it, maybe one day I’ll get round to fitting another nv to the cz

    Sad times when an old friend has to go, but them baby ticktocks are lovely, the only rimmy I’ve used that has a feel of a centrefire ?

    Young skinny ones grow into old fat one, like many of us ? only way to stop this is to drill them with some lead early on ?

    I’ve just spoken to the nursery owner and they have the lad on camera robbing the grass, put his picture on Facebook and 4 people named the smackhead in 5 minutes, police have now arrested him and he’s admitted it, won’t get the grass back but at least they now know who he is and it’s not the first time he’s done it
  18. Stavross
    How I do it is get the ground level with sharp sand, use decking boards around the edge to make a frame, just sat in the sand, lay the grass out and joint it with the glue and tape, then screw it to the decking board every 6” with 2” screws, once it’s down it needs a lot of kiln dried sand on it, the pile of the grass should always face the way you look at it and if you joint it the pile must run the same way on the glued edge ( almost sound like I know what I’m doing ? )
  19. Stavross
    Yeah, some little buggers decided they needed it more than the kids, probably sat in the back garden of there scruffy house on it, drinking cheap beer and snorting there giro, hopefully the local paper will print it and someone will grass the little rats up

    Nothing to do with any of this but thought I’d share it anyway, last week I put some fake grass down at a day nursery in a place called guisborough, now this place is opening for NHS workers kids and now they can’t go outside until we lay it again at more cost to the owner and half a days wages for me as it wouldn’t be right to charge them again, I wouldn’t want to be whoever took it if the owner of the nursery’s find out who they are, he didn’t build his empire by being nice to people, TW*TS I hope they get what the deserve?

    It’s ok if you are shooting them in the area you want to bait, because it spreads them far and wide, a bit like putting cat food out ?
  22. Stavross
    There would of just been 4 smoking paws ? if I shot them at that distance with the .243 ??
  23. Stavross
    The bottom one was very close, maybe 25-30 yards, top one was a little further, maybe 50
  24. Stavross
    Exactly, perfect tool for the job ??

    Two cubs from the shoot, these were mooching along the edge of a small stream, there was a third that disappeared into the cover and the vixen was at the top of the track but went to ground, but two is a start, I’ll be up there Friday to see if I can bag a few more, I’ve left plenty of rabbits around the shoot on rides, so hopefully I can just hang around them and wait for them to come to me ? ( p.s. these were shot with the .17hmr mouse wrecker )
