  1. I was impressed by a couple of the terriers along and at the same time ,noticed how old my lurcher is getting .Very slow but killed her fair share of runners .
  2. LOL.For those that cant see it ,its no wonder you dont find any .Stands out clear to the trained eye .
  3. Cheers mate. The numbers here have dwindled since we first started,due in no small part to the service we supply.First bag was 620 ,6 years ago .The hedges have been grubbed out ,a source of re-infestation and a cleaner regime in place has kept numbers to a minimum .
  4. Licenses for night shooting are granted easier than shooting out of season for some reason.Available from Natural England,online no less .Dont even come out to look at the problem .
  5. Yesterday saw us at the annual ratting do at a farm i have .Short notice meant we were a man down but we soldiered on .The first shed was disappointing but the next and the third were better with just over 100 in each .Finished with a respectable 221. p.s-Computor crashed hence the hurried post .
  6. Known that more than once .Always take a name and number from anyone who wants to see anything at the house .These things have a way of being 'forgotten' unless recorded by you .
  7. Nice pics there mate ,i knew you wouldnt let me down .lol.Any weight to the one you shot ?
  8. Went down to my good mate Martins yesterday evening for a stalk.We were to try a spot that he hasnt take a beast off yet so hopes were high .The ground is on a valley side and the parking is on the opposite side .As we pulled up ,we could see a deer crossing the top fields and sure enough it was a buck ,a mature buck too by the looks of him with a tall head but he was still a long way away .We walked down to where a stream denotes the starts of the permission and splitting up ,we climbed up the valley side to hopefully intercept the buck .We agreed that a fence between us would be the divide a
  9. Very early season yet mate .The rut is my favourite time to be out .The landowner on one patch has got hold of a device that deters deer .Its a box that runs off the mains in his shed and then feeds a cable right around the perimeter of a market garden .Works for him but not me
  10. well my bogleaper friend , i aint feeding and housing someone and driving them around the countryside for free .the addy says (if you can read) accomodation , food and guide ....................................... And sore ass too .Pillow muncher ill wager
  11. Trouble getting them off the phone mate but ill persevere .
  12. WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!There are pics and descriptions of real life pest control below so parent guidance a must ............... We were called to a local estate where the pest control is on going .This is not a council estate but a country estate where things are very much real life ,in your face and sometimes very red in tooth and claw . The keeper had seen a fox 'towing 'yes you read that right ,towing a muntie fawn still alive across a field towards cover and he rushed home for the rifle ,luckily fin
  13. Bet you had a sweat on there mate Seeing many about at all ?.
  14. Yes mate ,a new toy and one that certainly puts things into perspective .
  15. Best of luck mate .Challenging stalking they are .
  16. No work at the moment so stalking it is .Pulled up at a place that i regard as hard stalking ,certainly the hardest place i go .The fields are big and the gateways are situated in the middle of the run of hedges ,making it very easy to bump deer as you approach them .Tried the wind and set off in a clockwise direction .I find the only way to stalk this place is very slowly and use the bins more than i usually would ,trying to scan a few fields ahead .Anyway ,spotted the tell tale flick of an ear and sat down to study it .It was a doe but i couldnt see if she had a buck with her due to long cov
  17. Nice to see well managed areas mate .Good on you for showing that amount of sport .Just off out myself for a cull or two .
  18. Hello Nick .Still some stuff of yours kicking about the Beaufort country from all those years ago .Seen some work owned by you know who and they are still going strong .
