  1. 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 .
  2. Good going mate .Work commitments are keeping me off them at the moment ,work being the scurge of the hunting classes an all ,lol.Will get a few soon i expect though .

  6. Brilliant mate .Good to see you restrained on the one ,no point in killing what you dont have to .Bolt work is definately one way to feel alive and that backdrop is gorgeous mate .Well done .

  8. Nice shooting there Dave .Used the .410 a lot in years gone by and must get out a bit with it again .Well done Millet too on the bird .I know what it takes to get a bird conditioned and its time consuming ,too much for me these days .
  9. No ,he was the one in the fox suit Good shooting mate ,may there be many more .
  10. Nice one Sounder mate .I will be glad when the shootings finished around here and we get to have a dig .
  11. Talking of small willies mate thats some gun you got in your avatar ,not trying to make up for anything are you ?lol.
  12. Way above you lowly dog walkers mate .The elite of the sporting world if you like ,almost royalty.Lol. Personally though i cant see anthing wrong with the way either party behaved .Sounds like a bit of friendly banter to me . Live and let live me
  13. Ive got a couple tied up mate ,ready when you are .lol.
  14. Depending on the poison type mate ,its either simply a jab of vitamin k and a fortnights rest or ,well lets hope its a jab shall we .Really hope it turns out good for you .
  15. Out first light this morning for a look around a small farm .Tried a spot i rarely go to as for some reason known only to the deer ,they dont really like it .Some good cover and browse and peaceful but i only ever see the odd one . Round a corner of a hedge and saw the tell tale shape of a deers head in the hedge .No need for bins as it was no more than 70 -75 yards away .She clocked me and was staring intently at my shape .I inched the rifle to my shoulder and shot her off un-opened sticks in the head .Bit of a drag but then again no pain no gain .I will dress this out for a few landowners a
  16. If its who im thinking of then your right about the stories ..........and the stories.............oh and another story before you go .His breeding has gone astray ,lost it and im afraid he clings to the past a bit .But the stories are still there .................oh and did i tell you about the time . Spannable comes into its own in rock as some of the lads will tell you but in earth ,if the dog wants on you just have to give him time .
  17. Nice one mate .Do you wear sunglasses in that room though
  18. Yes mate .Get yourself well soon . Just as a footnote to my post,that fox was covered in ticks of the big blue variety .
  19. Went to farm i do early this evening where fox control is as important as feeding the stock .Phoned around for mates to join me but they all had excuses so i tried a lad that had been wanting to go out for a while and who talked a good night out by what hes shot in the past .He was up for it so we met at the farm entrance .Lamped the usual spots but nothing and fog was gradually decending on us .I decided on a squeak by the hen houses and chose a spot by a hedge that borders a tarmac lane .Part way through the calling ,as i paused for breath,i heard the click of a claw on the lane behind u
  20. Good write up there mate and yes she was a cull beast .Had a chap go into great detail about what he considered to be a cull doe recently but the strange thing was that when i took him out he shot a knobber buck off the sticks at 40 yards .If i wasnt so amused i would have bollocked the twat .
  21. The setup is a standard tikka T3 lite ,243,in stainless with a 7x56 meopta scope .100 grain bullets .I guess ive just got to know the combination mate .The hold over is not something i consiously think about but i must do it as the drop is something that we cant avoid.The consistancy you speak of made me smile as ive only recently been pushing the ranges but it seems to be working .Practice mate then practice some more . Edited to say that ive not found the need for a scope with a zoom ,id rather it was seen at the range it really is than bring it in to just infront your nose
