    Just got back home now and it’s completely clear, I spoke to the farmer before I left and he said “ I didn’t think you’d see much in this “ he could of told me when I text him to say I was coming up, I’ll ring him on Thursday before I set off, he said to me as I was leaving “ you might as well go and give Sarah a hand in the sheds seen as you are here”, no ta John, I’ll head off home, might see you on Thursday ??

    I think they are the perfect tool for small pest control be it rabbits or crows ive just come up to the sheep farm as lambs are out, left home, nice and clear, got here pea soup, nightmare, seen a fox straight away through the thermal, not a chance of seeing it through the scope, so back home for me

    I knew you’d get to like it, I’ve always liked them but a lot of my shooting mates all said they were sh*t when I got one, now most, if not all have one now, when we cleaned it and took it for zero we thought the group would get a bit tighter after a few more rounds through it and 21 for 22 says to me it’s shooting spot on good bag ?

    I’m going to have to pass on Mosh’s number, you can try and put each other to sleep, he asked me the other day how you were getting on, I said your just as weird as him ?

    Farms are not the problem, the problem lies with sites that don’t allow pest control I.e. anything to do with the RSPB quite a while ago I knew a lad who did the foxes on an RSPB site not far from me, the lapwing population was unbelievable, you would easily see 1500 together, to cut a long story short a new manager was brought in and decided that’s not the way he wants it ran and stopped him, now there’s still lapwing on that site but in no way the numbers that were there, it’s sad, I know it as Packham blindness

    It’s a load of shit mate, everyone I know would do it for free just to have access to the land, the only way it will happen is if they get contractors in like the badgers and deer and it will just end up like that nonsense
  8. Stavross
    It won’t happen, what you going to do, turn up with a dead fox and collect your fee, bounty hunter style ?

    Worked out in rain and snow for a month, now the weather is good I’m inside prepping for the floors to go in next Wednesday, this place is a joke

    Nice work Mr Sausage, I’m definitely fancying a bit of squizzer bashing with the shotgun up at the shoot when I’m a bit more mobile ?

    The job I’m on at the minute needs to be finished before the next lads can come in, hopefully another week or so and I’ll get a few days off

    I went and had a look then in case I’d been putting the wrong cream on my feet and also my grapes ?
  13. Stavross
    I can’t remember what it’s called, it’s to soften the skin, then I’ve got a whole host of moisturiser and steroid cream, they are getting a bit better, moisturiser, Vaseline and 2 pair of socks before putting my work boots on helps, what would help more is a week off I sit in my chair surrounded by half the chemist, it’s my own fault, I didn’t do anything about it until it hurt to walk

    I’ll let him park his car on my driveway and sleep in it, anytime he likes ??

    Well my feet are absolutely fu*ked and I’m really struggling to walk, I haven’t been out since the last day of the shoot and I was starting to go a bit mad, so as my attention needs to be focused on Mosh’s ewe’s this time of year I decided to go there on Friday night as it wouldn’t involve any walking, I decided to go to the reservoir field because I can park my car on the side of the road and just hop the fence, I must of been there a good hour and half before I seen anything, that turned out to be a humbug, I thought I’d give it another hour as although I couldn’t go looking for them it was

    For a minute there Stav I thought you were going to finish on “tell you what mate ,as it was so shite you can come up and have a day here “?? I wouldn’t want to add to your disappointment ? It’s sad how the members seem happy with what they are getting, he certainly seems to be in it for what he can get from it, I don’t expect anything from the guests but a handshake at the end of the day is always appreciated, but to ask for money at the start is just taking the piss, I suppose it’s a lesson learned ?
  20. Stavross
    That’s tickled me this morning while sat on the pot i would of laughed in his face if he took me to one side and asked for money before the start, that’s incredibly disrespectful when you were there as a guest, and as for the keeper carrying a gun in the line and shooting at birds going forward, if I hadn’t already left I would of left when I seen that and made everyone there know why I was leaving, make sure you tell everyone you know just what a shower of shite this crank is ??

    Lovely stuff ? all it needed was a good clean and a zero and now the little HMR is back in favour fair play to you for doing the right thing by that fox, plenty would of taken a wild shot at it ?
  22. Stavross
    No, they are all split on the soles and and the skin is coming off, just with all the crap weather I’ve been working in for the past 2 weeks, but I’ll soldier on ?

    Well that’s it for another season last Saturday was game shooting at its best, lovely clear day, freezing cold and just syndicate members shooting ( and my mate Mosh, but he’s with me, so that’s that) they had some cracking drives, we even decided to walk the edge of the oak wood and the rape, this produced some unbelievable high birds, the birds that got up a third of the way up the field were next doors and wanted to be back at the bottom, so we put a few guns on our boundary at the bottom, they were probably some of the highest birds I’ve ever seen there, a good few missed but for the

    Could of been, there’s plenty of them up there, if that’s from shooting it’s been right in front of the barrel ( on the up side it didn’t go to waste my mates Jill loves them ) it will all be over in less than 10 years, BASC have already sold us down the river, lead ban, grouse banned next, then all game shooting, then anyone who wants FAC will have to prove it’s for work back to pike fishing for me ?

    I agree, and to be honest the amount of grief I got yesterday about certain people’s behaviour and shooting has made me think I’m about ready to fu*k it off, I don’t need the sh*t, I haven’t bothered doing a write up of the day because I’m that sick of it, my job is keeper not shoot captain, but for some reason I get it in the neck for how adults conduct themselves on the shoot, there was a couple of instances where someone should of been sent home yesterday and it’s no good having a go at me about it when I turn up at the pub afterwards, it may be the case where we get rid of a few members an
