That’s heartbreaking, no one should have to go through that, especially at such a young age, both me and the missus have suffered loss due to cancer and our thoughts are with you at this terrible time
-
Money not a issue because it doesn’t cost me much and we do a charity shoot now and then, I was thinking maybe someone could offer a shooting opportunity or fishing in return for a days pheasant shooting, if I was to sell the day it would go for between £80 and £120 depending on if it was stand all day or shoot 1 beat 1, so that’s not a lot of money for where we shoot, I’ll have to have a think about it, I’ve plenty of time before January
-
Well I gave it a go for about 50 meters, give up and used this ?
-
Just sorted out the shoot days and it looks like I’ll have a day to offer in January, If it comes off I wouldn’t want any money for it but would like something in return, does anyone think this is a good idea, or should I just sell the day or shoot it myself

Post and wire fencing today out in the sunshine, bloke said he had a tractor if I wanted to load the old posts on to take up to the farm, this wasn’t what I was thinking ? I’ve got no idea how to drive in
-
I keep my fingers crossed for you all and hope it works itself out will I didn’t see them cubs again, so after shooting them a few more rabbits I’ve headed back to the farm, just in time to watch and listen to the woodcock flighting out to feed, I’ve shot a couple more half grown hoppers around the veg patch and a crow that was raiding the pheasant nests, the field is littered with egg shells
-
It’s the way forward si, I’m doing all sorts now, bit of fencing this week and laid 200 square meters of fake grass last week I have more time to myself now, so Ive came up to the shoot to sort a few rabbits out, I’ve just had a walk around shot a rabbit, went to pick it up and 2 cubs jumped up out of the wheat in front of me, I don’t know who was more shocked, me or them, theses are near the earth I found at the weekend, so a pile of rabbits should keep them entertained for a day or two until I come back
-
Bad news mate, I’m sorry to hear that, hopefully something good will come to you when all this madness is over with, I lost my mechanic job at the start of this and I’m now self employed, a bit more skint but a lot happier, take a bit of time to see where life takes you next ?
-
I use these off evilbay can normally pick them up for between £30-£35 ?
-
So I went back up to where I shot the chicken muncher last light, the lad on the farm next door trapped 2 cubs and I shot 2 last night that were mooching around the sh*t pile, no pictures because it wasn’t pretty with the .243 at less than 70 yards but a job that needed to be done ?
-
Quality picture, we need more young fella’s like that ???
-
Nice work Luke, we are a bit behind here, I’d say it will be the end of the month before we see the first cut ?
-
You are a top gent mr Bernard sausage, it would be nice if it was gifted to someone who isn’t in a position to buy one at the minute and appreciates your generosity ? p.s. fill its space with a mouse gun, it may be a fat air rifle but they are good fun ?
-
The things we see when we are out, most will never see, one of the many bad thing to come out of this lockdown sh*t is people have had more time on their hands and have been enjoying the daily exercise, a gentle walk in a green space. Now they have a taste for it and are allowed to go a little further a field the top of the moors was covered in them yesterday and today, like ants in Berghaus, I had to scatter a few of them from around the farm, looking like this it wasn’t to hard of a task ?

I love taking a few pictures when I’m up there, it doesn’t all have to be shooting stuff, it’s nice to have a picture record of how the area changes with the seasons ?
-
Not that worried, I know it’s dead, by the way it reacted I know the shot was to far back, it jumped like someone had just put a hot poker up it bum
-
Your not wrong, my missus is 5’ 1” ?
-
You may have a new nemesis ?
-
Well it’s the first time I’ve ever had one run after been hit with the sako 70gr chucked at it from the .243, it was dead running, but run it did, straight down the field and onto next doors land, I hang my head in shame and take full responsibility for the shot placement
-
I’ve told all our shoot members that there’s no work days this season, so it will be like every other season because they don’t bloody turn up anyway ?
-
I think first proper job will be to spray off around the pens and then I’ve got about 12 snapped posts over the 3 pens, then I’ll start on the ride cutting ( oh joy ) ? right I need to get my arse into gear and get up to find this chicken muncher

Blue bell are in full bloom ?
