    The weathers definitely changed, I would of thought we will have a light covering on the hill by Sunday, but nothing like you get up your way, a bit of cold weather will do the pheasants good
  2. Stavross
    Been out for a walk round the pheasant shoot tonight, I’m now at home absolutely freezing and soaked through, not a terrible night as my mate took a scabby looking vixen but not far off, didn’t even bother with pictures because I just wanted to go home so I’ve put a couple on from this morning, out for a few hours with a cracking lad off here?
  3. Stavross
    I’m definitely going to have a go at that in the new year, I know just the spot for it, so we could have a day on the pheasant and then put in a woodcock drive in the other side of the shoot to finish the day off ?
  4. Stavross
    I’ve never done that, but I like the sound of it?
  5. Stavross
    My shoot is in North Yorkshire near a town called Thirsk ( Sutton bank ) it’s on working forestry so the conditions for woodcock are near perfect, like bell said there’s a few about already so fingers crossed the numbers will be there in a few more weeks, like I said it’s a bit hit and miss and I have noticed the numbers dropping off over the last few years but sometimes you can push a drive through and more woodcock will come out than pheasant, best of luck with your shooting over here ?

    I think it’s outrageous I’m not aloud to clear them foxes up, all because some trumpet blower wants to go bombing around on his trusty steed, terrorising the countryside ?

    Very nice, in the last picture the expression on his face looks like he’s just heard the safety come off and he knows the game is up ?

    woodcock are a fantastic bit of sport, we tend to shot them in late December to early January, provided they show in good numbers, it’s a bit hit and miss here from season to season, if the numbers are low we leave them alone ?
  9. Stavross
    Very nice ?

    They haven’t done a very good job on the repairs, you could do bus tours around the place, it is in ruins, it took the Egyptians a couple of thousand years for there ruins the people from Middlesbrough manage it in a couple of decades ?
  11. Stavross
    Yeah, they do spoil the view a bit, when you are at the bottom of the farm you could be in the middle of nowhere, then you look up at them and realise you are 10 minuets from Middlesbrough The only thing worse than been 10 minuets from Middlesbrough is been 5 minuets from Middlesbrough ? after that you are in Middlesbrough and that’s an other level of misery

    I really like the smaller loads, I shot an over/under 20 last season that belonged to one of the young lads on the shoot and loved the way you can just wip them round, I’m definitely going to look for a .410 hushy for the roost shooting ?
  13. Stavross
    Looks like a cracking little walk out, the more I see the .410 the more I want one ?
  14. Stavross
    Looks like only one of you is having a good night out now?Nice work

    I have no doubt he knows what he is doing and he needs to stop it. The lad that owns there land will not be happy with him as the last thing he wants is the shoot upsetting our landlady with him farming the land
  16. Stavross
    We could go on forever tit for tat, pushing each other’s birds about, what bothers me is if he is doing it the night before a shoot day or on the morning, we tend to shoot on different days so we are not falling over each other and the birds are not getting it from all angles also after the day hopefully the birds will wander back home if we shoot different days
  17. Stavross
    It’s a problem that we have never had before as it’s an agreement between the two shoots that we stay off each other’s shoot, we both have to walk through each other’s land to get to a couple of drives, now this chap is on his first season with next door, so I will take it that he doesn’t understand the rules, the shoot captain is going to go and have a word today as he said he is more diplomatic than me, I don’t know what he means by that

    So I popped in to the new spot for an hour this afternoon for a few bangs, was ment to be working but the amount of birds moving around was to much to resist, managed 13 jack’s and 3 woodies just walking the edge of the plantation, the lads were on with drilling a grass field and the crows were all over it, so I really need a day off to give it my full attention ?
  19. Stavross
    So I’ve just had a phone call from the lady who owns the land we rent for our shoot, apparently the keeper off next doors shoot has just been seen dogging birds off our field, now I’m not saying these are all our birds and I know they wander a bit and we get some of there’s and they get some of ours, that’s just how it is, but to dog them on land that is not yours is just taking the piss, I now have to go and explain to him that he’s in the wrong and how would he like it if I go and push his wood through that’s on our boundary, I feel I might also have to have a word with the lad they rent the

    I’ve not seen any fibre in steel, but gamebore silver steel are bio degradable wad
  21. Stavross
    We use gamebore silver steel but I think they only do them in 32g 4’s
  22. Stavross
    Yeah, the crows have always been there because of the cows but now my mate has pulled a load of it up and has put in rape and wheat so if I ever get a day off before I die we will have a go at them?
  23. Stavross
    Are you back from your swinging convention ?
  24. Stavross
    Good to see you back to health, he’s a big old boy? And the fox is fair size too ???
