  1. First light Sunday i was up and out at a place i like to do often as the farmer is always moaning about something whether it be deer ,foxes or rats . I studied the wind for a bit and found it was ideal in that i would be into the wind when i approached the places that hold most often .Bumped a doe unexpectedly in a ditch as i was watching a buzzard nearby and not paying the right amount of attention forward .Never mind as theres plenty here as a rule .Up around the top of the ground i could see where a dog walker had beat me to it as there were fresh footprints and a steaming dog turd Follo
  2. You boys definately make a good team .I look forward to seeing that new ground in the new year some time .Well done Dave ,some cracking shooting there mate .
  3. Got to agree foxy mate .Never see the two mixing and in fact sheep are the ruination of a good roe patch .Thankfully its only seasonal around us and we will be back to normal when the hordes from Wales have stripped the fields bare and have to go back .
  4. Re-direct him here ,in a roundabout way .Lets have some fun .
  5. Yes mate .Farmers already said help yourself to greens.
  6. Ive recently undertaken a deer control job ,yes a job as im being paid per head shot .Its on a market garden that ive had for a while but the deer are really giving the chap a hard time ,especially when produce is at an all time low when selling it .Im to be paid £10 a head and im to leave the head as a payment card ?. The damage ranges from pulled carrots to holes ripped in polimesh ,the clear plastic used to germinate plants but the most shocking for me was seeing the way they strip spinach leaves nearly to the ground .Sprouts are pulled over and trodden and this all the work of roe .
  7. Tuesday night saw me at a farm i rarely visit this time of year as its a mud bath and the foxes have fair played on the fact .Had a squeak behind the farm and 5 appeared ,one from a bale stack nearby .4 of them were unsafe shots with a village behind and a row of windows for a backstop but one of them kept coming ,so close infact that i shot it freehand whilst still moving .Had to drag charlie out the shit as i wasnt putting my rifle down in that for a pic .Weighed in 20 pound ,another decent size fox .Will try the bales over christmas with the terriers for the rest .
  8. Excellent read there John .The fox rut is at its peak with us too .Saw 5 in one field last night but could only shoot the one due to a backdrop of houses in a nearby village .Once again ,as someone who lamps a lot on his own too mate ,i congratulate you on a fine night out .
