    Ha ha, you are spot on, if I told the lad that runs the shoot I do the fox control on I’d left a couple so I had a few to go at later he would go nuts, you will never get rid of them all as others soon move in, why you would treat pest control like managing deer on an estate is beyond me, just shoot the buggers, I don’t think we’ll run out anytime soon ?

    Nice work, that’s a lot of fox for 500 acres, keep at em?
  3. Stavross
    Ha ha, forgive me it was early when I was looking ?
  4. Stavross
    Nice work, she’s a big old girl ?
  5. Stavross
    Nice work, it’s not very often I use the digital fox caller I much prefer the reed mouth caller, saying that it will be getting an outing in the coming weeks as I still haven’t mastered the fox calling for a mate yet ?
  6. Stavross
    Nice work, that looks to be a good size vixen ?
  7. Stavross
    I’m sure they know when I’ve got the rifle, if I’m out without it they walk past me and give me a wink ?

    Had an hour or so at the bunnies tonight with longshankx, good few about but not helped by the full moon lighting us up wherever we went, still better than a night in front of the box

    Yeah, a second one with the new .243?? after walk around the far side of the farm and spotting another but not been able to take the shot due to bloody horses I’ve called it a night and will be back for that one another night

    Come for a wander around the sheep farm, been here about 40 mins and this young vixen came from around the back of the lambing sheds, I must of walked past it on my way passed the sheds, it was only when I was half way down the field and ran the lamp back up towards the farm that I seen it, only about 70 yards and was making its way slowly towards the hedge back, it didn’t stop to the caller and I didn’t want to shout in case it bolted, so took the shot as it got about 10 yards from the hedge back, a little bit further back than I would of liked, but it dropped on the spot, going to head over
  11. Stavross
    You definitely made up for the fox there, nice work ?
  12. Stavross
    I feel your pain ?, I’ve missed some sitters well under 100 yards, it always seems to be in front of someone who I’ve just been bigging myself up to, I really should keep my mouth shut in these situations ?

    I too have a browning t bolt and it’s a lovely rifle I also have a cz in .17 and that is a very accurate rifle for not a lot of money, if you want a bit of posh and don’t mind spending a few quid than have a look at the tikka t1x, they couldn’t of made it look and feel more like a centre fire if they tried i put a dpt mod on the cz and I’m very happy with it, its very light and you can break it down to about 8 pieces to clean it, it was £80 so not to bad and it will go on the .22

    Ha ha, you should see me in my Sunday best, stunning ?
  15. Stavross
    They seem spot on, they fly nice and flat, the down side is the price, the sako 70g are 35 quid a box, the lighter hornady are almost 10 quid cheaper but the rifle doesn’t like them, so I think once I’ve used the two boxes I’ve got I’ll look for something a bit cheaper to chuck at foxes

    Been up on the shoot and court up with this little pheasant munching vixen 231 yards out mousing in the stubble field, a nice one to take not to far from one of the pens
  17. Stavross
    Same with me mate, I think the only one I’ve got off the shelf was my browning 525 and that was still £150 more than the same shotgun in right hand
  18. Stavross
    Cheers, yeah they are a little under fully grown, they are good eating this time of year, I popped into my mates an hour ago and he’d made himself what he called braised rabbit, to me it looked like he’d beat it with a hammer and chucked a few carrots at it, so maybe it’s not that good eating around his way ?
  19. Stavross
    Pin point accurate that scope? I thought it was just because you were just leaving them for another day?
  20. Stavross
    Had a walk out for an hour tonight a good few about but very lamp shy, some good range shots with the .22 and a fair few misses, managed six, left two old ones for the fox and my mate got tomorrow’s tea out of it, everyone’s happy ? do you recognise any of these longshankx
  21. Stavross
    Ha ha, that’s almost racist, us wonky lefties are a proud people ? i fell discriminated against by the gun manufacturers as they seem to think it’s ok to charge me more for my guns, the buggers ?
  22. Stavross
    Very nice, that would look lovely in my conservatory ?
  23. Stavross
    Welcome, you could book days out on deer and driven game, if you don’t mind paying for it, but my advice would be to spend some time at your local gun clubs and clay pigeon shoots, get to know a few people, offer your services for beating on local shoots, make a few friends at these places and I’m sure one or two of them will invite you out with them, good luck?
  24. Stavross
    He was pecking at all the poults, I had a couple of dead outside the pen and a few more that had been arse pecked, so he got the blame, they are a bloody nightmare when they get in the pen
  25. Stavross
    It’s sometimes frowned upon and some forces don’t let you use it but I have wrecked a fair few foxes with the 17hmr, head shot under 100 yards they go nowhere, it’s a bit of a marmite round, some people love them some think they are pointless, I like them and own two
