  1. 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
  2. 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 ?
  3. 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 ?
  4. There might only be two mate but you still have to hit them, they will be safe with me waving a bang stick at them and a few others in the shoot ?
  5. Before my gentle words of encouragement I thought the barrel was going to melt, 8 shots in quick succession at one rabbit had me thinking I’d given him an automatic rifle
  6. He knew what he was doing, he’d been out ferreting a few times
  7. Same here, the temperature dropped very quickly, cold and dry is what I’m hoping for over the next couple of months and then snow after Christmas to finish the season off in the way I like to shoot pheasants ?
  8. I got a text from one of the young members from the shoot asking if we could go out for a bit of rabbit shooting tonight, so after weighing up my options I.e. staying in with the missus or out in the field, it was a no brainer, so I grabbed the mouse gun and off we went, now this is only the second time he has been out with the rifle and at the first fields we came to the rabbits were very jumpy in the lamp and the shots were all between 75 and 110 yards, the first 5 were all missed and a few kind words of encouragement along the lines of breath you loon, seemed to do the trick with the next t
  9. Up at the shoot this morning for a look around and a feed up, it’s looking very different from the washout that was the first day, we have had a couple of hard frosts since then and the birds are looking better for it, they were around the feeders on arrival no doubt hungry after a long cold night on the roost, By the time I’d made my way to the back of the shoot a few cocks had started to make there way out onto the frost covered fields heading towards the oak’s and the last of the acorns, with a bit of luck the weather will carry on the way it’s been over the last few days and the second day
  10. What’s wrong with these booze ? addled dead beats, given the choice between an evening of drinking or an early night so I can be out at sparrow fart to see the world as it wakes up, I know which one I would choose ?
  11. First morning out at my old new deer spot, I arrived just after first light with high hopes of grassing a late season buck, the morning looked perfect and after only 5 minutes I came across a stunning doe in the mist with the first of the sunshine making her look almost golden, after another 20 minutes or so walking towards the top of the farm I came across another much smaller animal a good 300 yards away, after getting closer this also turned out to be a doe, so no bucks seen today and maybe tomorrow will be the last day to have a look for one, even though I didn’t get one today it was still
  12. The day although wet and low numbers of shootable birds was still a very enjoyable outing, getting to see a few people that I haven’t seen since last season, arranging to go out for a few deer with one of the members, sorting out to take one of the young lads out after rabbits and general chit chat with like minded people, fingers crossed in a fortnights time we will of had some dry, cold weather to harden them off as I have a guest shooting and although we are a little farm shoot I’d still like to put on a good show for him ?
  13. Your not wrong mate, a few left at lunchtime, but for me you only get 8 days so no matter what the weather is like you should make the most of the day
  14. Well the day was pretty much a wash out, after the first drive we headed for the thick cover of the oak wood and although there was a much better show of birds they were still very wet and not wanting to lift to give any sort of sporting shots, this seemed to be the way the rest of the day played out, so only been able to pick the odd shot from each drive the bag was a very low 11 pheasant and 3 pigeons, I had a stand on all except one of the drives and only had 4 shots, fingers crossed that by the next time we are out they have dried out because although they didn’t want to fly there was a l
  15. Hahaha, I want that ? we have had one drive and I’m soaking, the birds do not want to get up, so we are off to the thick cover to try and push them out the oak wood
  16. I’ll make sure I rap up warm, I don’t mind the cold it’s the rain I don’t like
  17. First day tomorrow on our little shoot, we have a good show of birds, as to be expected this early in the season and we have tempted a fair few from the surrounding shoots, so even with all this rain it won’t be putting a dampener on my day, I’ve even popped down to see my mate for a haircut and the missus had ironed my shirt, I only make an effort on the first day just in case someone is waving a camera around ?
  18. Been on a few of them days, I might of mentioned it’s my first day tomorrow and the weather looks terrible until lunchtime, but I’d rather be out in it than stuck in the house, I never like to miss the first day, the down side is the birds won’t be as willing after being wet all night, but we’ll give it a go ?
  19. Nice going mr sausage, that’s a fine bag of squizzers, I think many of us will be cabined up tonight out of this rain with a little glass of something, it started here around 12 and is showing no signs of stopping
  20. Nice going, they seem to be out and about any you definitely seem to be getting amongst them ?
  21. I’ve got a cz and a browning T bolt both in .17, they both shoot well although the browning is a bit more bling, if I was to change ether one I’d go for the tikka T1x, no question
  22. Get yourself to the gun shop and get one on finance, add a scope, sound mod, ammo, night vision all on catalog terms, go mental, just don’t tell the missus ??
  23. There a big pair of breasts, as to be expected from a Canadian ??
