    Ferals around dairy cattle are deadly as they carry a range of diseases in their faeces that shows through in the milk inspection .Even iodine teat wash dosnt touch one of them [sorry names escape me now ] And by the way lads exellent shooting there.

    Every year i get an influx of rodents of the norwegicus [spelling]variety due in all honesty to my place of storage for the fishing kit .It gets put away covered in groundbait from bream sessions and the keepnet was full of scales .The ground bait itself was put up on a shelf but still they got to it ,that was until time came available to get a few fenns out and payback has started . This was the first last wednesday followed by a double on thursday . One in a mk 6 fenn too .Today there another brace so doing something right . One was a contender in the long running thread' King R

    Got invited to sit in a seat overlooking a plantation near the Marlborough Downs .Got there about 3.30pm and had a long ,long wait.The seat is on the edge of a large wood ,L shaped where i was so i was covering a V to my right and the plantation to my front with no veiw around my right hand corner but no matter .Saw 2 does early on wander through the plantation where it is sparse enough but nothing shootable until an hour before sundown or there abouts .A party of roe came out the wood to my right and at a good 200 maybe more and headed for the back of the plantation .5 does and a buck,but i c

    Biologically they are not dependant on the mother after they are weaned but the kid needs its doe for the first winter of its life to show it where the food sources are and when they are available ,something passed down through the roe generations no doubt .Take away the dam too early and most often the kid dosnt amount to much ,even dying .Legally a deer can be shot at any age providing its in season in England but morally many prefere to see them at least full grown .In Scotland however ,where the tempatures are much lower than the South ,many roe kids do not survive their first winter and a

    The weather plays only part of whether or not you are good at what you do .If its windy ,charlie will want to get around you if you are calling but the smart rifle moves across to cut down the angle and nine times out of ten the fox will stop to consider its next move .In light conditions its very important to keep the lamp just at its feet so as not to startle it or allow it to see your outline if the lamps switched off .Wet weather ,you need to head for short grass as charlie wont be wanting to get his belly wet ,something to think about when calling and which way to face . Even fog can be

    It appears we are being lead astray Mr Boulter with the true cost ranking up there with the most expensive in fact .

    The sun shone yesterday afternoon and lured me into an early finish at work and after speaking to one of my landowners,who said she'd seen a buck earlier that day ,it was off to the farm as quick as the speed limits would allow .Started with a sweep into the wind which payed off very quickly .As i rounded a hedge i glassed a pair of roe heads on the far hedgeline,one a buck, and decided to approach around an earth bank to my left that would take me to within 150 of them and follow up with a crawl ,not because of the distance but because i enjoy getting up close and crawling .As i stalked aro

    Just about managed to read it in one sentence .You say no comments about the writing and puntuation but you know it is wrong so why not correct it .Great to see kids out doing a bit but heres hoping your stories dont get any longer .

    The terrier hasnt seen a fox so hows it supposed to mark one . I would trust a lurcher who has seen a fox over a terrier who hasnt any day . Just keep trying mate .
