    There’s definitely something amiss with this oddment ? even though he isn’t dead I think he should be donated to medical science

    That’s a proper introduction ?? welcome a long ??

    One thing I have always struggled with is the idea that someone can give me a telling off, firstly I don’t care what you think and secondly I’m not 12 years old and just took your sweets off you, I treat everyone the same I work with, I’m not bothered who you are or what position you hold, you are just someone who has a different job to me, I’ve come across a few people that would do well to remember that respect is earned not given ?

    It certainly felt good to shout him down, I would normally never leave a job on bad turms but sometimes needs must when people think they are better than you. Well I was hoping they would tell me to go home and not work the Saturday/Sunday but after our little chat nothing else was said to me, this could mean one of two things, ether my gaffer wasn’t in or when fat lad told him he thought sh*t we can’t afford to get shot of him when we have all this work in over the weekend, so fingers crossed they will bin me next week ??

    Nothing to do with shooting but as I was looking through the hunting life as it happened I thought I would share it, now I’m at one of my jobs today ( the one I don’t like ) and for some reason the owner of the business is here wandering around the workshop ( horrible little tw*t ) and for the purpose of this little story we will refer to him as fat lad, so I’m having an unofficial tea break and looking through THL and fat lad walks up to me and says fat lad - do you know we have a no phone policy in place here stav - yep fat lad - so why are you on yours stav- I’m having

    One farm, burning muck heap, another furnace and the rest worm food, all the farmers like to see what you have shot but that might just be my untrustworthy face

    There’s a massive social divide up here, there’s those that have and those that are financially embarrassed like me, scraping a living off the landed gentry ?

    Out on a little fencing job today and I’ve just been talking to the woman who owns the land, apparently her husband bought her the land next to there house for her to ride on, it’s just short of 160 aches and almost finishes at the bottom of the hills behind that handsome fella in the picture, now this chap is on the Sunday Times rich list so small change for a man of his standing, the amount of rabbits on it this morning was mental so before starting work I’ve offered my services as the last thing she wants is that 100 grand pony breaking a leg, fingers crossed her sugar daddy agrees when she

    He comes on the shoot, my little mate and top beater Hugo is his son ?

    Sadly there’s some things that have gone on in his life lately that don’t lend themselves to possessing a FAC

    Lovely little roe buck, wish I’d of had the dslr with me when I stumbled across him

    Well out again for a couple of hours, my mate seemed a bit happier today and I like to think some of that is down to me getting him out and about, so first off we head to the foot of the moors on the hunt for rabbits with the .22 and .17hmr, managed a couple but spent most of the time there watching a lovely roe buck and it turns out he’s got a bit of an injury to a rear leg so we may be back to take him in the near future, after that we headed back to the posh gardens where we accounted for another 11 between us before we lost the light, I’m starting to enjoy the.17 more and more, tonight was

    Another cracking account of your work and a very long leggie fox for you efforts, he looks like a greyhound ?

    Very sad when something like this happens the only slight consolation is it will be back to be delt with

    Benelli M2 9+1 is worth a look just because it’s a bit over the top, what I’ve found is that when they have a full tube of cartridges it really affects the balance of the gun and becomes a bit like waving a fence post about, maybe that’s just me being a soft lad, if I was after one I think it would be the browning maxus 4+1, no big tube running the length of the barrel ?

    ?? that wins comment of the day ??

    So I was flicking through bbc news on my phone this morning and came across an article on road kill from Cardiff university called project splatter, apparently they have an app that allows you to report road kill so they can collect the information and where the death rate is high they put a sign up or something as equally pointless, anyway badgers topped the list this month with 905 reported followed by foxes at 475, not surprising being the time of year that it is, now in the article they estimated the badger population to be around 485,000 and the fox population to be around 250,000 nationw

    You can only do your best but when it comes down to it some luck is always needed, I’ve sat out 3 nights in a row in the past on fox patrol, never seeing one and then when I’ve been feeding up one has ran along the pen fence, hopefully when ours go in in about 4 weeks it will run as smoothly as last season ?

    I love it when the birds go in, now the hard work begins, fingers crossed for some good weather so they settle in well ?

    A well cared for muff can last you a lifetime ?
  24. Stavross
    ? I’m sure if you look hard enough you will be able to find some pink ones for yourself ?
  25. Stavross
    Google, 3M peltor kids, this is what we put on my little mate Hugo, they are only about 15 quid off Amazon, they do adult ones in the peltor range as well but I don’t think they will do the pink ones to fit you ?
