Good to see you about, the weather has certainly not helped this busy time of year, I’ve been feeding up this morning and managed to get the quad stuck because I was to lazy to walk 150 yards ?

He can definitely hold his own, he was in the line next to Hugo’s dad and that lad can really shoot and he said he hit some good birds as for the glitter on a turd comment from you and sd, that’s one of the nicest ways people have ever described me ?

Second day on the shoot, wow what a day, we couldn’t of asked for a better day ( well maybe snow ) sunshine and cold, the difference in the quality of the birds from two weeks ago was unbelievable, still only the second day so selective shooting was expected, we had two full teams of guns today and the beaters worked so well, we had the delights of longshanx beating all day for Hugo’s dad so he could stand all day ( cheers mate ) and my guest today was robin foxer off YouTube, it was definitely worth his three hour trip to come up to our little shoot with some lovely high birds and some testin

Stay safe mate, you have had it ruff down there, I’ve got a mate coming from Lincolnshire today and he said it was a wash out down there
-
Fingers crossed, I was working in Stokesley this morning in sideways rain that turned into sideways hailstones, I gave up by 12 and came home to make pies ??

2nd day on the shoot tomorrow and the weather is looking good, the rain has just about stopped and we are forecast a clear cold day with a slight chance of a wintery shower on the afternoon, I’ll take that over the first day, so with mid morning refreshments sorted in the form of corned beef and potato pie, leek and potato soup and a drop of sloe gin it’s time to put my feet up ?

That mr sausage is a stunning picture, nice work ?

Well I am getting on a bit ?
-
That will be my adjustable sticks, very handy, no matter how big or small one set of sticks fits all ?

As I was asked for a couple of hoppers I thought I’d pop into a few fields on my way back from the shoot today, now the lad who asked for them said they must be head shot, so the first one was a lovely 75 yard head shot, full of confidence I thought the next one would be a sure thing, not so, this one was about 50 yards and I managed to put it straight in the bib, hollowing it out so this one ( the one in the picture) is now in front of the camera as fox bait so we will see what comes of that, luckily for me I spotted another at the bottom of a hedge back no more than 55 yards away and this t

Up feeding today and the birds are looking very well, I walked three of the drives that we will be shooting this coming Saturday and it was pleasing to see the amount of birds I did out on the rides, it’s a massive difference to the wash out that was the first day, one thing that was disappointing was I had a ride over to a drive at the far side of the shoot known as the valley drive expecting to see a lot of next doors birds and seen very little, this could of been the time of day and they could of been out pheasanting about in the fields, with a bit of luck we will have some more cold weath

That explains the two rifles I’ve seen, it looks very nice with a bit more barrel on show
-
I see, they do look very nice ? and that’s from someone who only ever buys plastic rifles
-
Haha haha, racism ?
-
What’s the barrel length from the end of the stock, I’ve seen one and it looked flush with the stock but I’ve seen pictures of them and it was about 6” longer, that’s the thing for me that let the tikka down with the barrel been so close to the stock, purely on a look basis
-
Well I never managed to bag myself a buck before the end of the season, but I did give the opportunity to someone else just before dark last night he managed one, it would appear that this was a good one to take as he told me it was in poor condition, so fingers crossed I’ll get to take the first roe doe over the next couple of weeks, work, weather and all of life’s other inconvenience’s permitting
-
Thanks mate, it would be nice to be remembered for a few good things instead of just being a miserable bugger, it makes me happy when I can find a young-un that wants to be out and not sat in front of a screen, I’ve tried and failed with my nephews to be fair I’m never happy unless I’m out in a field and there’s not many people get to see that side of me so they have good reason to think I’m always miserable ?
-
You could be on to something there coot, I could put out a shooting self help book, with such gems of encouragement as, breath you loon, keep calm and shoot the tw*t and do you want a bottle of wine with that because you are making a right bloody meal of it, you will be first on the acknowledgement page but as a northerner it would be against my religion to share any wealth ?
-
Cheers for that, I like them in grey, I think they will be on my list to Santa ??
-
Oh, I like the look of them, I find my T3x very nice to shoot as standard, but I could be convinced to fit them purely for the look of the rifle, where did you get them from
-
That’s completely right, my missus won’t eat anything I bring home, she is completely oblivious to where her food comes from, she will eat duck from Tesco but if I bring it home with it’s jacket on she won’t eat it, mental ?
-
Haha haha, Jesus, I’m in bits after seeing that, ? what have I been doing to theses poor creatures all these years oh yeah, shooting and eating them, mmmm tastier than you vacuum packed chicken ?
