    Good to see you back on here mate, I hope your shoot comes good this season, I think the small private syndicates will be in a much better position than the commercials, who wants to lay out 10’s of thousands of pounds when so many are not willing to commit to days, one of the big worries for us is the old boys and our landlady who is well in her 70’s, I’ve got about 6 weeks before we have to make a decision if we are going ahead as once the eggs go in we are committed, I’m not to hopeful at the minute but if the worst was to happen the members will be getting told that the rent will be getti

    Bernard sausage put some pants on for gods sake ?
  3. Stavross
    That’s quality Phil, looks like you had more look with the catfishing than I did with the squirrels ?
  4. Stavross
    ? the pictures do me no justice at all, I’m still a young lad ?

    I’m 100% getting an air rifle, it’s got to be a springer so I can go back to my youth ?

    I think I’m going slightly insane Phil, there’s got to be something wrong with anyone who fishes for squirrels ?
  7. Stavross
    Well the squirrels aren’t biting and when I made a grab for the cat to dress it like a fox it went f*cking nuts and is now sulking in the conservatory, I’m now thinking of having a go at the magpies with the catapult, god I’m board ?
  8. Stavross
    That gives me an idea ? squirrel fishing! Some nuts glued to a treble pike rig, cast to the top of the garden and wait, I’ll be dusting off the pike gear tomorrow

    It’s not looking good mate, if this is only the start. Im already starting to think of different ways I can trap the squirrels and magpies around here without next door or the missus seeing

    Day 3 indoors and it isn’t getting any better, I keep looking at the cat and thinking I’m going to put it in an orange T-shirts, give it the run of the house and get the fox caller out, see if I can call it in and let it have it with the nurf gun, just to keep my eye in, I’ve also got my eyes on the hoppers in the garden, thinking of setting a few snares, going old school, I’ve got a few onions and carrots they can have a bath with ?

    I notice them ewes are keeping well away from you, are they abiding by the social distancing or have you worried them enough that they have keep their distance for other reasons ??

    Well I’m two days in the house now and I’m going insane ? I’m back to my mechanic job on Saturday but other work has stopped, so I thought I’d start a book I’ve had laying around for a long time and it’s not half bad, it’s just mainly a load of little tails from an old boy poacher, but at the minute it’s beating the repetitive conveyor of doom that is the tv, after I’ve finished it I’ll do the usual and offer it on here if anyone would like a go. It shouldn’t take to long because I’ve got little else to fill my day with, basically I get up, go out on the peddlie bike ? for a bit, depress mysel

    Very strange times mate, on one hand I never see anyone when I’m there on my own, on the other am I breaking the rules ? I’m supposed to be there tomorrow night after rabbits, to be fair the police are going to be to busy chasing chavs and crackheads about to worry about one man on his own nowhere near anyone else, gathering a bit of food because the shops look like they have been raided

    Cheers mate, I think I should of taken the proper camera today instead of the rifle, there was loads of different song birds about, it has dried out very quickly up there it was only last week I would of struggled to get the quad down some of the rides, today almost all of the pools were dried up with lots of spawn laid on the ground at the minute it’s not looking to good for the shooting season, I’ll be in touch with the shoot captain and secretary over the next few weeks, if it doesn’t go ahead the members will be told the rent will be getting paid and maybe we might get a couple of ru

    Cheers Dave, it’s a labour of love, if I didn’t have to work I would spend all my time here, the way things are at the minute I may well have the time to do a fair few jobs I haven’t had time to do over the past couple of seasons

    Off up to the shoot today on my own, of course, first port of call was down to the farmhouse to check on the old girl as I pulled up I noticed her cleaning the greenhouse out. She came out to greet me at a safe distance of about 20’ and seemed genuinely pleased to see me, ( this is not normally peoples reaction when I turn up ) after a chat for 20 minutes or so about this and that, advising her to stay in and if there was anything she needed all she had to do was give me a ring, I headed to the shed to get the bike out and set off to the far side of the shoot for a walk around. After shooting

    He’s a big old boy and shot the old way on the lamp ? nice work ?

    What a day to be out, you certainly look like you have made the most of it, I’ve got the next five days to myself because my mate is self isolating, maybe because he sneezed and farted at the same time ( who knows ?) so I’ll definitely be taking Boris’s advice and keeping my distance from people firstly with a walk around the shoot forestry tomorrow ? I need to learn how to put little videos on here, I like it mr sausage ?
  20. Stavross
    Cracking result ?
  21. Stavross
    Did you enjoy it mate
  22. Stavross
    Haha, cherry B’s, it was all diamond white and castaway around here when I was a young un, only the posh birds drank cherry B’s ?
  23. Stavross
    I’d of thought little bo peep would be more your style ?
  24. Stavross
    I like thermal, but if it’s out in the open I can identify what it is with the NV just as quick, I’d really like a proper scope looking NV to go on the tikka
  25. Stavross
    Good to see you are getting out for a wander, I might have a place for a bit of shooting for me and you, we can go up separately and walk around different parts, hope you and the missus are keeping well ?
