  1. Thats why the pair of them go lamping mate ,no-one to get offended ,lol.Seriously though good shooting and field . Ps dont let wireviz see that advantage clothing ,he gets very jealous.
  2. Heres the beast in all his former glory .Im surprised Pat is up in arms about it ,just jealous that he never made a pound or two i expect .
  3. Cheers mate .I agree with you about him being in his prime ,the only prime beast ive shot this season by the way .I would make a guess as to him being 4 years old ,maybe 5 but definately no more .Ive watched this buck come up through the ranking on this patch .It was him that dominated the rut last year .Identification on facial markings not antlers by the way .Same area pre rut then he wanders the whole patch ,lording it over all he surveys .The cape and head are in the freezer but thats another story .Wont get it back for a while to weigh .Went to the same patch first light yestersday,no rif
  4. John mate .Some cracking video there and a shame about the shot not be on but hey thats stalking and who would be as interested in the sport if it was all cut and dried .Cheers for sharing .
  5. Have it on good authority that it is you in the pic longshot .Just come clean ,nothing to be ashamed of .A fair trophy that anyone would be proud of 'chubysaurus'. PS Martin i did at one point treat my self to a suit of real tree it was the Deer hunter ram range it has been worn a couple of times .Not my choice when the going gets tough. PS vissy -when the going gets tough all you will do is puff .
  6. Ive taken many lads out for one of the' easy' Wiltshire roe mate .Can the same be said for you in your area or is it very close knit where you are as well as closely inbred .
  7. My thoughts exactly mate .The fact that they arnt our native species is being looked into and we may see a reversal of this hopefully .
  8. As i thought ,talker not a walker ,hot air to impress the keyboard stalker of which you are president it seems .
  9. I wear the stuff all the time and what i shoot speaks for itself .My ground is fields and hedges and do OK. Maybe ,just maybe we could see a pic of your outings with an account to go with it .
  10. You state in your wordly wisdom ,that most woodland stalkers wear the tweed ,cotten or wool Get out a bit more and meet the people you set to use as an example .That the realtree works is unquestionable but then again you wont question what you have done for years 'wirevizosaurus' Does being seen with a rifle in cords and tweed mean any less to the public than if i was in realtree ,no not a bit .In fact the reatreee serves to confuse the human eyes more than our quarry that rely on other more sophisticated means to stay alive .As a background breaker ,realtree is the one for me in my situat
  11. Weve recently had a few otters released on the avon near us .Not the otter native to the British Isles though ,apparently this is the european otter which is bigger .The holts were in place last year and the animals released unceromoniously some time in spring .Nothing in the press ,a low key manouvre by some misinformed group of licenced well wishers that have had a vast impact on the fishing on this once productive barbel section .Reports of double figure fish on the bank with a few bites missing are comimg in and the wild fowl ,once commen here is giving it a wide berth .Ive seen the otter
  12. Trouble is ,what guarantee have you that it wont happen again even if the offenders are rounded up .Seems to me that its a simple case of boundary fencing and that as he has livestock to fence in its his job to do so .I would be quoting the old finders keepers to the baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaastard
  13. The first of the maize is coming off now which im sure makes a hell of a difference mate .
  14. Its very easy to get sentimental about the good old times and lets face it they were GREAT times. In this i mean the working border but personally i think its gone ,never to return as a mainstream worker .Lets face it who wants to spend their lives on a whim and a prayer ,not me .Call it ruination ,call it negligence or just plain evolution but for my part they are gone for good .Seems to me a clever way to promote a book but who am i .
  15. Nice buck that mate .Good on you for putting him there again .
  16. Out last night on the quad to do a place that we shot a fair few off earlier in the season .The farmer is attempting to start a small shoot and wants the foxes kept to a minimum.Some fields cut freshly today so we headed straight for these as experience says thats where any foxes will be ,cleaning up whats been through the mower .In the first gateway ,lamp on and charlie belts through the hedge just inside the gate .Another is running literally for its life up the field and away so a retreat and onto the next field .Another fox in here but hes not acting right and a look through the scope reve
  17. Another charlie mate ,good on you .Good season on them so far unlike us
  18. Move with the times you fossil , your full of crap and we all know it.Hows the passion for talking site now this is your homepage ,lonely eh .
  19. It is mate but to some its too modern to be seen in .From 300 yards or thereabouts ,which i believe is where most deer are spotted on the hill,the human form in camo against a background is undistinguishable with the naked eye .Deer have poorer eyesight than us .A stalker in anything else stands out to me like a spare part really as ive proved many a time .As long as you keep movement to a minimum then you are as one with the landscape in realtree .Can you say that about tweeds or cords . .
  20. The main lesson here is descretion .Shooting pigeons in any number on a hot day is always a worry as to the quality of meat afterwards .When the birds are winging in well whose going to stop shooting to debreast a few while birds whip by the hide ,not many .I agree about cartridges ,thats a no-no but to dispose of a bag of pigeons DISCRETELY can save a few head of game as charlie concentrates his activities on an easy bounty .Just my thoughts so dont jump down my throat .
  21. Essence captured perfectly mate ,enjoyed the read .FD
