    A couple of random pics from the shoot, a deer that came charging through the line of guns and a very strange thing to see up there, I’ve no idea if someone had dumped it up there or if it had wandered a couple of miles for a change of scenery, only seen it the once and I’m sure it met a grizzly end

    Last shout on the book raffle, I’ll pick a winner tomorrow ?

    I like his artwork on the wall that he showed his visitors, that looked like a load of cat faces, he told them it was called curiousity and then said you no what that did to the cat ? they are a terrible animal, my missus has one and she is one of the blinkered owners that thinks it spends all its time sleeping and strutting around the house looking at me like I’m a tw*t, the reality is much different, but what do I know, she goes mental when I tell her there’s only two at the farm on the shoot and there will only ever be two, there used to be quite a few ferals about a couple of years ag

    That’s the one, they used everything, shotguns, .22, 300 win, 308, you would certainly never blank on the vermin there

    I’ve watched a load of his videos, I’ve also been watching a few on the feral cat problem in Australia, apparently they are responsible for the extinction of at least 10 native species, one bloke uses a 300 win mag to shoot them, just to make sure they are proper dead I think ?

    I’ve done the numbers today and our shoot works out at about £7200 for the season, we have 16 members and sell a few days for people to come and have a go, so the members only pay £50 for a days shooting, this is a far cry from the lay out of the commercials so when you look at it that way it’s got to be worth the risk, even if you only get half a season and it costs you £100 a day, at least they know they will still be a member next season you could be right about unpopular people getting the chop, I don’t think it will just the shoot industry that this happens in, I think a lot of busin

    I missed the one when you posted it, it’s a belter ?

    Well me and my mate had a chat today and we think we will go ahead with the shoot this year, we came to the conclusion that for the shooting we get it’s not a lot of money, even if the guns get half the shooting they normally get it’s still 4 days for the price of 1 on the big estate down the road, something I need to find out is if next door a putting birds down because I don’t want them not to bother and think they can have a couple of ruff days by putting feeders on the boundaries, once we commit I’ll have to get my finger out because I’ve done nothing there for the last couple of months

    I think I must have one leg bigger than the other, it didn’t look that wonky when I was stood next to it ?

    Foxes can be released back into the wild because they are a native species although classed as a pest, it’s only illegal if they are a non native pest species I.e. the gray squizzer, like SD said if people are releasing urban foxes into the wind this should be classed as cruelty because you are placing an animal in an environment it is unlikely to survive in

    My mates little girl made me a cake for my first day at work ( even though I’ve worked for him for about the past 8 years ) she said her daddy had to be nice to me because I was helping him because he’s old now ? so he eased me in with some post and rail fencing, with 7ft posts that he wanted 3ft in the ground, just for a laugh I think, but it has been a lovely day and nice to be away from all the oil and grease ?

    My missus has called me a freak on many occasions, it’s sounding like I could be ideal for that job ?
  13. Stavross
    Do people pay for that, I normally get told to put some clothes on when I’m strutting about in my pants
  14. Stavross
    Good result ? I know what you mean about not wanting to call out to them, I’ve had them trotting along and not wanted to make a noise because you can guarantee they will do the opposite of what you want them to do, on more than one occasion I’ve made the decision to shoot them on the move

    Me and my mate will be making the decision on what will happen with our shoot over the next couple of days, I’m hoping to at least put a few hundred down, even if we don’t get a full season I’d like to think we could give the members a couple of good days

    A couple of my fave’s from last season’s shoot
  17. Stavross
    Well I’ve done it, I’ve left my mechanic job and I start out in the big wild world on my own tomorrow, fingers crossed ? I’ve made the right decision ?

    We used to have a load of multi coloured on the sheep farm, my mate mosh dropped half a dozen domestic in the yard and they did what rabbits do best, this was a good few years ago now but you still get the black one now and then and about a year ago I shot one that was half brown half black, as if someone had stuck two half’s together

    Hugo’s dad, in the woods cock in hand ?

    They really are as thick as sh*t ?

    Welcome when you are applying for an FAC be completely honest with every question as for calibre, that depends what you want it for and what the land is suitable for, if it’s for knocking rabbits over then 99% of people start off with the trusty .22lr been on a poultry farm I’m guessing you could be shooting fox so would need a calibre suitable for that every police force and person on here has their own opinions on what is best for you, the best thing to do is take all the information that is offered to you and make an informed decision from that good luck

    It’s nice to have a place where you can put a bit straw down or a bit of corn and draw in a few wild birds ( or someone else’s ?) and have a little walked up shoot, I’ve got a couple of places where I can have a walk around in the season and get a free go at duck, partridge and pheasant ?

    To be fare Derv this one has quite a few pictures in it, I’m sure you will be fine with it if you can make sense of some of the posts on here ??
  25. Stavross
    They are the type of times I wish I had taken pictures of, out ferreting and running dogs ?
