    Just to make light of it ,the trouble with cattle shooting is that you need a brace of them to make them hang right on your shoulder and this lad never did the double so left it . I jest of course -Hope this gets sorted mate and hope you you still have some land left to take me on ,jesting again of couse .Ill ring you.

    Invited myself up to a good mate of mines for the weekend and had a days hunting combined with a mornings stalk. As per usual ,the sport was exceptional.Saturday was an action packed day of trail hunting with some superb hound work and terrierwork to make the day memerable .Sunday we were up and out early to a place where my mate has the enviable job of controlling the numbers of chinese water deer .The weather overnight had chilled somewhat and a fine layer of snow covered the ground ,combined with a very keen north wind .The cwd is a species i have never even seen let alone shot . I had i

    Glad to hear you had a good conclusion mate .Happened to me more than once but you have to trust your gut feeling about the shot being good .I remember once ,a chap phoning me for my dog to trail a deer he thought he hit late in the evening and saw run off two fields into some maize cover crop , but the dog found the doe he'd hit ,dead ,and not more than 10 yds from the spot but in deep stingers .

    A mate of mine has a quad which we have done up a bit to allow comfortable lamping .Good padded seat for passenger ,hand warmers and rifle/shotgun carrier .Went out last night on some of his ground .Very wet but the 4wd took it all in its stride .Shot a few rabbits for the ferrets and a small vixen which i called a long ,long way ,up to a good half mile id say .Saw the eyes way off as just a tiny speck but followed her down the valley and up to us where my mate shot it with the .22 .On the way back down a lane we had a head on with a badger which survived the full weight of us and quad and am

    Any decent gun shop will stock them mate ,plus you get to se what you are buying .Around £ for the fully adjustable one .

    Having loaded for some big names myself , honest ,and shot the same birds at the end of season beaters day and i just have this to say .Its a real eye opener watching someone who is full time at the shooting game hitting bird after bird with the ease that only comes from complete mastery of the art .Double gun days were the norm with one particular chap regularly having 3 birds dead in the air .

    I know people like that are annoying but i tend not to give them a second thought as they wont be spoiling my day .

    The slope i crawled up to get the shots is in the forground with a nice patch of cover behind that holds deer all year round .A good mix of browse .

    The last of my free time for a while so a look around one of my closer permissions .Farmer asked me to avoid the pheasant feeders as theres a lot of birds about so i went to the other end by the main road .Stalked carefully along a slope towards the boundary and stopped to glass often as it was a bit misty .Glassed along a hedge and had to do a double take on what looked for all the world like a spiders web but was in fact a roe sat down looking at me in the hedge .The cream chin was what made me look again .Crept forward under her watchful gaze and made out two more sat eirher side of her .B

    Nice one mate .Cant beat it .

    Dito that last comment mate.The scope cover is a bit over the top IMO but down to personal choice i guess .The harris 11inch to 25 is my choice as it covers all shots from prone to kneeling . Good luck with your sport mate .
  22. Squirrel_Basher
    Did think about asking that mate but was just glad to see them walk away .

    This afternoon i decided on a visit to a farm that has a fair population f roe but they tend to travel between this farm and next door so its a bit hit and miss as far as stalking goes .Havnt been out here for a while so hopes were high .The usual holding spot is a large field with a pylon in the middle ,a swamp down the bottem and a earth bank to one side ,I approached this area cautiously and had a good glass spotting only a buck in the next field ,a good buck too[ so where was he a month ago ].Skirted around the area to do a boundary walk whereby i can view well ahead and take in every fiel
