I’ve managed to get them to come in earlier with baiting quite a few times but only by a few hours, like you say there’s a good chance it’s coming from a good way off, there’s also the chance that it’s not the one I’ve been seeing in the front field because it’s a big area for just one of them and with the surrounding farms and woodland it could be from anywhere

Hello chaps, I’m after a bit of advice, I keep looking at cameras as all my pictures are taken with my phone at the minute, now I know nothing about photography so was thinking of an entry level DSLR, the one that keeps coming up is the Canon eos 4000d, would this camera be any good for general wildlife photography and is it worth the £350 price tag, it comes with a 18-55mm and 75-300mm lens, any advice would be greatly received or any other recommendations, I don’t want to spend thousands in case it’s not for me and it need to be pretty much idiot proof with me behind it ?

Ha ha, you need to smell like wildlife not my dear old grandad ?

I think I’ll put a jumper on with my shorts tonight because there is a little nip in the air?
-
Well I’m going to give it an hour tomorrow night see if anything is about, might try another spot as well seen as this fella is turning up a daft o’clock, so if longshanx’s lays off the old spice we might come across something ?

It’s all about time, I’m a very busy man ?

Working on the farm today so I had a trip down the road to check the camera, ginger bollocks turned up just before 5 this morning and took one of the pigeons ( other one still there ) so it’s getting a bit earlier, I took the .22 with me for a bit of rabbit bait as I’ve been warned to leave the cat food alone ?
-
We will have to see, I wouldn’t mind catching that on the camera
-
Where I’ve been baiting is about 75 yards from my pigeon hide I’ve made in a hedge back so as long as the wind is the right direction I’ll be in there failing that if it’s the other way I’ll be in another spot about 130 yards from the bait, the problem with that is it’s a bit open so would need a bit of cloud for that

Not when I’ve been struck down with this debilitating illness ? Im receiving no sympathy as I’m told IT’S A COLD, GET A GRIP OF YOURSELF, she knows nowt -
I’m going to keep baiting this week as it will be the weekend before I can have a go at it, with any luck it might make it it’s first port of call, failing that it’s looking like an early start ?

I’ve gone for the half a pint of whiskey ? approach before bed and I think it might be working -

So I went down to move the camera today and to my surprise foxy Mcfox face has turned up, it was caught on Sunday morning just before 6am so I’ve left it where it is and baited with 2 pigeons, I could do with it coming on an evening because I’m to lazy to be getting out of bed early morning, but we’ll see over the next week if it’s habits change ?
-
That looks very nice ?

Well I checked the camera last night while out with a young lad from the pheasant shoot having his first go at the rabbits with the rifle, nothing but a few rabbits and the bait is still there, so tomorrow I’ll be moving it into the front field where I’ve been seeing it and baiting it with a couple of pigeons, I would of preferred to take it in the bottom field but if it’s just passing through the front I’ll give it a go and try to get it in a shootable position

Shame about that crow, I could of spent my winnings on lemsip and beachams and maybe I wouldn’t be sat here feeling sorry for myself ? -

JESUS?, did you take your pray mat with you to go with that head gear ?, let hope there’s a bit of wind in the morning to stir things up a bit because it’s a bit still at the minute ? -
I have a tikka t3x lite in .243 and for the money I couldn’t name a better rifle ?

My last one was from Aldi and I think it was £60, I had all sorts on it when I had it out, when baiting foxes, often buzzards during the day making the most of my rabbit bait, I once had a badger and a fox squaring up to each in front of the bait but it stopped recording before I found out who got the prize
-
So I’ve been and checked the camera and no fox yet, there was a fresh ? on the track in the front field, the camera is working and caught a few rabbits, we have gone for tuna today so we’ll see how that goes, it will be Friday before I can get up there to check it, fingers crossed ?
-
I normally use rabbits pegged down, but it’s just what’s in the house at the minute as I’ve not had the time to get out for a few hoppers

Them dirty dogs only have one thing on there mind this time of year, foxy love is in the air

Nice work, curiosity is the down fall of many a ginger terrorist, we were out on the sheep farm last night, only see the one but we were up wind of it and as soon as it winded longshanx’s aftershave it was off like a rocket ?
