    It’s the same up here, the amount that are about I would of thought they will have the tree lines cleared in no time and will have to move onto the rape

    So I’ve had a WhatsApp message from the farm hand ( I didn’t know he was that technically advanced) he found the fox on one of the tracks through the rape, he said it’s a good size dog, he said he could see it from the quad so it goes to show I was looking in the wrong place for it

    So me and longshanx had ourselves a walk out at the sheep farm as lambing is fast approaching, made our way along the bottom of the fields so the wind would be the right direction to come back along the top, as we got to the boundary I ran the lamp across the field and in the middle of the rape was them distinctive eyes looking back, past the torch to my man and mounted the rifle, after the fox ducked about in the rape for a bit it presented a clear head shot about 110 yards, squeezed the bang switch and it seemed to drop on the spot, after 10 mins of looking for it in 18” of rape I give up s

    I’m also a bit of a fan of the .17 HMR, I like it for a bit of summer bunny bashing, sat on a hill top picking them off at 100+ yards, the down side to me is if it’s windy it doesn’t get an outing, I also really like the .17 hornet but haven’t thought of a good enough excuse for the missus, to buy one, other than I have room for it ( maybe that’s a good enough reason )

    Cracking write up, looks like someone has put a lot of effort into that fox, to get it into a good shootable condition for you
  6. Stavross
    Looks like you have had a cracking walk out, they are some big old squizzles you have down your way ?
  7. Stavross
    Nice, I love a go at the geese ?

    Dam that’s an ugly rifle, I shoot a tikka T3 lite in .243 now and that is a very nice rifle but would swap it tomorrow for a sako finnlite 2 or a carbon wolf if they did away with that horrible pistol grip

    They are definitely pairing up around here, they have been calling for a few weeks now, I think the cold weather and snow has set them away, I’m out on the sheep farm at the weekend and will be taking the digital caller with me, try them mating call
  10. Stavross
    Ha ha, have you been checking my feeder on the boundaries ?
  11. Stavross
    I get like that, I’m grumpy if I’m cold, wet or hungry
  12. Stavross
    You will find if it fits you well it will shoot well ?
  13. Stavross
    Your best bet is to find one that fits, there’s plenty of second hand guns about for under £500 quid, if it fits well it will shoot well, remember it’s just two tubes, it’s all about the fit not the make ?

    Get at it, nothing messes up a good drive like a ginger, we had one run out on a drive on Saturday and we have a strict nothing on the ground rule, as there’s a lot of different abilities shooting, so then we have the customary abuse off the fox control lad ( me ) everyone joins in just to make me feel special
  15. Stavross
    That’s the one thing I really like about this shoot is the amount of kids that come, not just to beat but to shoot as well ( under supervision ) there’s not many kids about that you can get out the house in all weather at 6 in the morning, so we need to look after this lot
  16. Stavross
    Yeah, he is kept well out the way of the line, we have not managed to level anyone with a bird yet, but last year my guest did manage to drop a bird onto one of the shoot members new car, that will teach him not to walk to his peg
  17. Stavross
    A few more from the day
  18. Stavross
    It’s early days, we will work on the water retrieve on our next outing
  19. Stavross
    He a cracking little lad, polite, friendly and still light enough to chuck over a fence when a bird needs picking
  20. Stavross
    Just a small boundary day to start with, teaching them to fly, 39 shot, couple of pigeons and the kids had a go at the squirrels, had my top new beater with me, my mates little lad Hugo, he never left my side all day, this is what I love about these shoot days, free range kids that enjoy been out in the fresh air
  21. Stavross
    Nice work on the duck ? muncher ?
  22. Stavross
    Cracking write up and two fine looking beasts ?
  23. Stavross
    Hello and welcome, I do like a hand made gun slip, hopefully we’ll get to see some of your work ?
  24. Stavross
    It wasn’t just boundaries, what annoyed the lady that owns the land is he was half way up the field and he’s not ment to be on there, he should know that this time of year his birds will make there own way back
  25. Stavross
    Ha ha, I’ll let him know, if I tell him he will probably say they are his and they have just wandered a bit further
