    That’s a lovely picture of the pheasant, looks in tip top condition ?

    Your not wrong, there’s not enough days in the week for me, this is the first year I can remember when I’ve never had time to shoot pigeons over stubble or summer squirrels around the shoot, although they will be getting battered over the coming weeks

    You had better hope that ghost fox doesn’t turn up or you will see nowt ?
  4. Stavross
    ?you know it’s going to be a ewe don’t you ?
  5. Stavross
    Something will turn up it always does, might not be what you are expecting to see but that’s all part of the fun checking them ?

    Well it’s almost here, a week tomorrow and we have our first day, just a small day teaching them how to fly, I’m hoping for a season like last year, they have all stuck around and are not wandering to far from roost, we have also played the game and temped a few of next doors birds to come and join the dark side along with some Wildies, the one thing that has been noticed is they are not taking the amount of feed that last years birds did by this time, maybe it’s down to there been a lot of natural still about for them, I was watching a small group wolfing down acorns the other day and another

    Well I had a look out again last night and the bait was still there and the only thing on the camera was buzzards and crows pecking at it, so it may of just been a one off chancer, I’ve left the camera there and will check again after the weekend, if nothing shows I’ll take it as job done, after checking the camera I went to some other fields I shoot rabbits on, I was shocked at how many there was as this place gets battered, so after spreading a couple around the field with the .243 ( for fox bait ) I think a wonder round with the rimfires is in order for next week

    I could be that chap ??

    Well the deer were a no show and to be honest I didn’t expect to see any early evening so I decided to hang around and have a go at the hoppers again, now this is the place where he likes me to leave them for the fox because he thinks they will not bother the ducks if there’s rabbits laying around, 12 was the bag and I left 6 and took the other 6 with me, I have to confess I did miss about 7 but they were all over 150 yards and I was just seeing how far I could push the mouse gun, I did hit one at 156 paces but they could of been a bit of luck involved ?

    I was waiting for that, I was stud in a hole when I took the picture, my spirit level needs a new bubble, my tape measure is faulty, a pigeon landed on my string line when I was pushing the post in ? any one of them excuses will do ?

    I have a place that I have shot rabbits and foxes on for many years now, I had a call from the owner asking if I would come and have a look at a little bit of woodland he has planted as the deer are wrecking the trees, now I’m here and it would appear to be roe knocking them over so he has told me to take what I can ( very nice of him ) shame there’s very little time for the bucks, I may have to see if anyone else wants a go, it would be a shame to waste this opportunity, I’m going to have a sit out to see what’s about but I think this could be a first light thing ?

    You should get some clipped mallard ? on there, put the building off until after February ?? We have just poured a foundation this morning and I had to get in it with a bucket because there was 2 foot of water in it, but this afternoon I’ve been putting equestrian fencing up and I’m over the moon with how wet it is, the posts went in like pushing them through butter

    I love having a go at the geese, I’d fling a sickie for that, I’ve got a meeting tonight with a bloke I do a bit of shooting for, he wants to show me around a new woodland he has planted because the deer are wrecking it but he has duck ponds on this place and a lot of geese so they will be getting a mention

    That’s it si, join the foxing dark side, who needs sleep shoot while you’re alive, sleep when your dead ?

    Steady on Bernard, you can’t just be spending money willy nilly on frivolous items ? you had better have a sit down for a bit
  16. Stavross
    Hahaha, the slowest of them ladies was in bother ?

    That looks the same as one I used to have until someone thought they needed it more than me, they were just the same as the one I’ve got now and worked the same way, just with different buttons inside

    https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F113894912282 I get these off evilbay, they are cheap and easy to use, I like that they have the screen inside so you can check it in the field, all you need to do is put batteries and an sd card in them

    I put it about 3 foot off the ground and the bait a good 10 foot away from the camera, sometimes further, they pick things up from a fair distance, it picks up everything, I only set it to record for 30 seconds and then I think there’s 5 minutes before it triggers again, I’ve got some cracking little videos of buzzards feeding on bait during the day, that camera had been out about 3 days and had been triggered about 43 times

    I was asked to take care of a chicken botherer, so not having the time to sit and wait for it I thought I’d put the camera out and bait up, it didn’t take long, in fact an hour after putting the camera out I got my first hit, it was 2 days later before I had time to check the camera and I’d made the decision that last night would be the night as the ginger seemed to be hanging around for much of the night, firstly showing up on the camera around 8pm and then on and off up until about 3:30am, getting there for 7:30pm it was little over 30 minutes before it turned up, no need for calling or shou

    I think we should organise a mini bus, all round to Gav’s ?

    There’s pro’s and con’s with all the NV add-on’s and day/night scopes, as BC said the 007 image quality is superb for the price, for me the only down side to it is how far back it sits when mounted to the scope, it also doesn’t work well with high quality glass that draws a lot of light, but all add-ons are like this, the day night scopes tend to work much better in the dark but are more than useable in daylight, I suppose it comes down to what suits your needs, best off going and trying a load of different ones and see what you like, another option is a normal scope and proper NV with no loss

    Lovely job, I take it the top of the head shot didn’t lend itself to a picture, a good while ago I shot one just above the eyes and where the round hit everything disappeared, not pretty
