    If it was for a fox rifle I’d go 22-250, neither of them is suited to deer, for something to do both I’d go .243?

    Bloody hell I was only trying to help you out and now you are willing to risk me getting buggered off a fox so you can take a shot at it ??

    I’ve got some fox lure, we will have to give ourselves a spray with that, it’s more expensive than my old spice but I think the foxes are worth it?
  4. Stavross
    Can’t go wrong at that price, it does the same job as the rest of them ?
  5. Stavross
    Lovely job, what’s the 28 bore it looks a smart thing ?

    Nice work, them birds can rest easy for now, keep at em, ?
  7. Stavross
    Well I suppose someone has to do it ??

    A nice walk out, you should do well on the foxes there with the village just up the road, if you go up on your own and you want to take the caller or another lamp for spotting just give me a shout ?

    What a stunning place to be and to drop a few as well, no better way to spend an hour ?

    Oh dear, deep breaths, it’s time will come?

    Please sir, can I come and play with the tikka? it will be a good place for some HMR foxing with it been full of horses they might not be to chuffed if you let rip with the .308

    Oh yes we have a few of them and I can certainly do the moaning

    Ha ha, I know they are a good bunch and they have put in a good bit of graft this year, I shouldn’t complain about them, for a few of them it’s there first season shooting so they just want to be involved, so it makes mine and my mates life a bit easier

    Cheers, another two or three weeks of dry sunny weather will do me until they are well settled in, but looking at the long distance weather I don’t think there’s much chance of that

    More like to many cocks, I’ve already had one ring me telling me he is up there and do I want them to check the birds, I’ve sent him over the far side to cut rides out for the beaters, he seemed happy enough with that so one less job for me ?

    I have the whistling problem with one of the lads that does a fair bit of feeding up, when they are swapping over onto the wheat we hand feed a bit around the pens and he’s a bugger for getting them to follow him around, a few years ago it always worked well because there was just a couple of us doing the work but we have a lot of new members now and they all want to be involved unlike the old lot who just wanted to turn up and shoot, this has been a help leading up to the birds arriving but it can be a bit of a problem once they are in as I keep getting phone calls from members saying “ I’m u

    I like that, I haven’t seen many badges ?

    He is normally quite good with us, two seasons ago he had a lot of problems so we got what we were given, I think he just got to big and couldn’t cope with the amount of birds he was producing they turned out to be a load of blacks and for whatever reason they didn’t want to fly, half way through the season we were taking dogs up flushing them towards flags a couple of days before we were shooting, teaching them to get up higher than head hight

    Plenty of duck about and I’ve been watching the Canada’s and the lag working the grass fields, lined out like a forensic team grazing them off
  21. Stavross
    The price of wheat this year it might work out cheaper to keep them on the pellet

    They are ment to be ring necks, but time will tell, it wouldn’t be the first time the breeder has sent us whatever he had left, with us been a little shoot we are near the bottom of his list, hopefully they will be what he said this year
  23. Stavross
    Yeah, I’m happy with them this year, they are a bit bigger with them been late going in and they are very quiet, even when I was in the pens the were just wandering about, not flighty at all, not like last year when after a couple of days they were all over the place
  24. Stavross
    Yes we are getting to my favourite time of year, spoiled for choice, the pheasant and partridge will keep for a little later in the year, I’m thinking duck and geese for the near future ?
  25. Stavross
    Cracking result, the weather is definitely on the turn ?
