    I don’t know what it’s like over that way but in the dales over here the army use the moor and when my nephew was based at layburn and fires happened if they were needed they were sent out

    I feel sorry for the fire crews and the locals that are out 24/7 doing there best to stop the spread, they asked for help from the army and around 100 were sent out, there is a massive army base at catterick and layburn stuffed with young lads they should be at the disposal of the fire crews

    A lad I know has sheep up there just down from the moor, he said the first fire has been blamed on a discarded cigarette, if this isn’t an advert for the full game management of moorland I don’t know what is, there needs to be controlled burning to create fire barriers, so if some little dickhead decides to have a fire it’s easier to control and hopefully will not go on to devastate a massive part of the moor

    Nice work, that’s looks to be a good size vixen, it’s obviously been living the high life on good quality chicken ?

    Cheers buddy, hopefully going to get a full day at them on Wednesday, so we’ll see what that brings, might not get a bag full but I bet I’ll scare the sh*t out of them ?

    It serves him right, nothing worse than people sticking there nose into something they know nothing about, if he doesn’t like how the countryside works then why move there a few years ago I used to do work for taxi lads and they were buggers for not paying so our favourite trick was to pull a door card off and put tuna in the door also milk in the carpet under the seat does the job ?

    That will teach the greedy little bugger ?

    I still have the old lightforce lamp that now only gets used with the dogs due to how wide the beam is, everything else I use the torches, I ended up getting one after a night out with a lad who worked for nightmaster and couldn’t believe how good they were, so bit the bullet and splashed the cash ?

    Can’t fault 3 in a couple of hours, an evening well spent ?

    So, I’ve been doing a bit work on the farm and the lad said how do I fancy knocking off early to go up to the other farm as the crows are hammering the barley, this may of been a polite way of saying clock off and go and help me out for free? so off I went, not the farmers million’s but still a few about, only managed 16 in an hour or so and rapped in because of the heat, only picked the 3 that landed at my feet as his words were keep out of my f*cking crop

    A day dreams are made of, one you will remember for the rest of your life ?

    For the money, vortex viper HS LR 4 - 16x50, in my opinion vortex optics are on par and in some cases better the scopes twice the price, the warranty is also very good ?

    Nice work, one less to worry about, the years just seem to fly by now, I’m sure I can remember a time when I had nothing to do over the summer apart form drink beer and enjoy the good weather or maybe I just had more time before my lovely wife came along

    That’s something we don’t have any trouble with, the biggest problem we have with the ground nesting birds is badgers, we have far more of them than foxes but there’s not much we can do about that ?
  16. Stavross
    We are the same on the shoot, there’s always a few about but luckily the shoot next door hammers them and comes onto mine as well to help out, it was a bit of a bumper year last year with him taking 16 over the two bits of land a me taking 7 off ours, they have just done a lovely long bit of set aside that’s going to be my game cover so with any luck I’ll be able to draw a couple into this before the birds go in

    I’ve had a hair cut and been out on my peddle bike for the last week, so we will see who gets the invite into the hot tub ?

    Cracking work, no better way to spend a summers evening ?
  20. Stavross
    Good work, without a doubt them two weren’t going anywhere ?

    If it’s not squirrel bashing I daren’t ask what your favourite pastime is ?
  22. Stavross
    Lovely job, keep under them trees it’s scorchio out there
  23. Stavross
    We do the same, they are more excited about the squirrel bashing than the days game shoot, I think some of the kids would like to double gun it and have a loader?
  24. Stavross
    Thanks mate, one thing I love to do is take young lads and lasses out to show them what I do, even better if they have never had the opportunity to do anything like this, some are not interested and some just want to shoot guns and that’s ok but now and then I get one that wants to know everything and never stops asking questions and I love that and as I haven’t got any kids I don’t treat them like kids so swear as much as you want and tell me what you got up to at the weekend and I won’t tell your Mam most of them seem to like this approach ?
  25. Stavross
    They just keep coming, it doesn’t seem to matter how many you shoot there’s the same amount next time you go, forestry love you shootings them, the damage to the trees is nuts once they start stripping the bark they just keep going, I nailed a few to the tree with the .17hmr the other day, bit over the top but it did the job, I’m going to take a few kids up with the little .410’s and 20’s they have 600 acres to go at so should keep them out of bother
