    The otter is making a propper comeback around us in the westcountry,ousting the mink along the way .Its been said they released the european otter which i believe is a bit bigger than our native version but i have yet to clap eyes on one yet alone see what terrier does.Been blamed for some very big barbel kills on the avon and huge carp near horseshoe lake .One day maybe ,one day .Old boy that showed me the ropes [now deceased]used to tell of otters on the local river that he worked that would shake a terrier with no respect then bind to it, wrap around it .

    Know where your comming from when talking of Perukes,but i said damaged testies can cause hormonal inballance during the growth of the antler leading to Malform. Broken long bones ie leg bones are often- the the cause of a malformed antler on the opposite side of the head to the broken bone,if you know what i mean????? 6 pointer Got ya

    C,mon FD youve got more in one field as we have up here in total Not so much the numbers mate ,just better stalkers here in the South,lol.

    Sorry to pull you up on that six pointer but malforms are caused by neither lack of balls or brocken bones .Its direct damage to the growing antler and surrounding blood vessels that causes this.You are thinkng of perukes maybe in the case of castration!.

    Got to be done mate and a decent shot there too.Doubtful if thats the killer though ,more likely a vixen this time of year and best of luck with her .We are flat out on calls ,never had it so busy and found more foxes to ground in this warm weather than ever before but not complaining mind .Nice set up there too.

    Travelled down to deepest Somerset for a chance to stalk in some very picturesque landscape ,the permission of local off the site .Ive been here before so knew the general layout but not having shot a buck here yet ,this evening was one to remember .We started on the higher ground from where a perfect view of the lower fields can be had .Saw nothing on the higher ground but Local ,having the knowledge of the place ,spotted a buck and doe feeding along a hedge in one of the many patchwork fields below us and a plan was made to get in a bit closer .This involved backtracking to the farm and comi

    Up at 5 am for the drive to one of my furthest spots .Heavy morning mist meant a cloaked arrival at my chosen spot for a sit .The farmer here has been on to me about the deer even though i shoot on sight in season here it seems there is a ready supply next door to fill the slightest void created by me but im not complaining ,who would .Sat under a tree in the mist and watched the sun come up and the first efforts for it to burn the mist away .Pheasants landed noisely somewhere in the field and a trio of hares passed by very close ,close enough for me to see the eyes clearly . An hour passed

    Out with Martin last night at a place he has where he does the fox control to a high standard.Since taking it on 2 years ago the farmer has lost no new borns outside which is a credit to Martin and the farmer for his farming methods .We had a look with the lamp although it was a bright and still night but good job we did really as a pair of foxes had moved in to the lambing fields .lambs are well up now but not entirely out the woods as far as predation goes.Insde the first gate ,lamp on ,a squeak ad a pair of eyes to our left that disappeard straight away,only to reappear in front of us and

    Think you have the answer mate .Ive seen this quite often to be honest but never took much notice as they are never inflamed or pus like .Definately the right thing to do Local mate .

    Last Tuesday evening saw me at a spot ive had for fox control around organic chicken sheds and the farmer by way of thanks, has asked me to cull a few deer as the numbers are well up due to the cropping this year and the amount of rape grown next door .Four big fields surrounded by thick hedges and a pond in the middle ,perfect.Walked around the first field right handed to get the wind right and crossed the ditch into a big field where i knew the deer would be.Couldnt see anything from the first glass but as the corn is now a bit long i didnt expect to straight away .Moving up the hedge i gl
