    Wont mention the tally so far as it seems to be a sore point at the moment .

    You are getting over excited.... and I talk of England...... 50 is not a big score and it is not boasting ..it is called Vermin Control and is required by many landowners......and many of them also want to know the numbers so you have to keep score!! You seem to be talking/suggesting sport, you and many others seem to get confused with sport and control! There is a big difference!!! Vermin controllers do not spoil anything for anyone..it is a job required of the countryside, just like ploughing the fields, harvesting, etc!! You simply have to work around it!!! It sounds t

    Had a call late last night about a fox that has taken to pheasant poults in a big way .Maybe upwards of 25 poults found scattered about with heads off near a pen .The keeper was up until 12.30 with the electric squeaker on constantly but tiredness forced him to bed .I woke up and straight out at 2.20 am and walked through the wood to where charlie has been causing a nuisance .A light was left on in a shed ,for me to see where i was to head for .My prefered method was to get out and lamp the area which hopefully has done the job .I spotted a fox on the side of a patch of rushes ,one squeak an

    .................................What annoys me ,as a controller of foxes ,is the dog lads that run foxes for fun with second rate dogs that have no hope at all and then consequently make that fox lamp shy for the rifle . You see, it is a circle that happens everywhere .Only those willing to put in the hours will get a good tally and Foxy is one of those lads that do the hours .Nothing wrong with keeping score as it gives you some idea of whether your doing a constant control job or whether you need to step it up on last years performance .If you are trying to control foxes with the use of a

    As someone who works dogs ,both terriers and lurchers and shoots aswell ,i can comment fairly on this .There is a world of difference in killing a fox for sport or carrying out all year round control .We hammer the population around us but there is always the same the following year ,if not more .For a dogman to say theres no skill in lamping with a rifle , then they surely havent done any which puts them in no position to comment in the first place .All methods have a place but the gun is what keeps the population in check .This government has had a big part to play in shaping what is now t

    When my foxing days were at an all time high ,250+ a year ,then we used an insinerator on a chicken farm .Sadly those days are gone but the insinerator is still there for me .

    Deker mate .Since you and i got our tickets ,many moons ago SOME police forces in their wisdom have introduced a period of probation for new applicants.A current fac holer has to baby sit the chap for a specified period and then write ,in length ,to the force in question about the way the applicant veiws safety ,quarry and other meaningful stuff .Just think yourself lucky mate as they can refuse a grant on the word of a mentor .

    Travelled up to County Durham from Wiltshire last Wednesday to spend a few days on Foxhunters ground .After a cup of tea and something to eat we were straight out lamping .We went to a place that has had big problems with foxes in the past with both sheep and gamebirds becoming prey .Made our way to a high point and i had a squeak .A fox showed the other side of a small streamand ran in to us very fast .It stopped at the stream edge and couldnt get through the sheep netting .Making its way down the fence,it found a way and was soon only 50 yds from us but making its way down wind and around

    Cracking read mate .Roll on the next one eh .

    Called in last night ,on a small holding that has a few hens in a coop by the side of a beef unit .Saw the farmer earlier on in the week and he said that one or two foxes were getting about despite our efforts in the spring .I know as well as anyone else will that now is the time of year when cubs will be extending their nightly patrols and sure enough it was a this years cub that had the misfortune to be around the coop .Saw the eyes as i pulled in to the yard and slowly eased the .222 from the case, loaded up ,switched on the light force and shot it at about 60 yards .No need to call or s

    A pretty face is a head turner for me,as is a good cleavage of the right sort .Not too big but not too small and definately not false .From behind, she needs to sway gently at the hips and any stockings need to be taught over skin .Eyes tell the story of whether shes been through the mill so to speak as does the width of gusset .In conversation she needs to be my equal not my better .A cheeky sense of humour is a must, for instance -When first courting my wife ,we were walking along a river bank in summer when i looked up and said "swallow"to which she relied yes with a grin ,now i know one

    Nice one mate ,teeth dont look too bad to me ,although top plate is worn flat .Did you weigh him at all not that it matters .
  22. Squirrel_Basher
    Good going mate .I was watching a buck following a doe at work today and was captivated as usual .
  23. Squirrel_Basher
    V-max -I guessed at him being about 7 old by the teeth and general appearance but the back was pretty much straight and he carried himself well .Anyway thanks for the comments .

    Invited down to Martins ground this evening for a stalk followed by a shine out .Martin has recently been granted the use of a centrefire ,namely the .243 on a patch of ground he has had for a while and being the gentleman that he is ,he invited me to share the first time out .He had previously seen a buck here and told me exactly where he would be and its action if disturbed .The ground in question is a sloping aspect down towards a road .We stalked down to a small spinney and Martin set me up in a position that overlooked the bottem of a sloping field ,just off the point of the spinney whils

    Both my mate and myself use the win subs and find them the best we have tried and their reasonably priced too .Mate has the cz ,5 shot and i have the ruger 10/22.Regularly shoot rabbits out to just beyond the 100 yard mark ,when on form . Confidence in ammo is a great boost and sows the seed for good shooting .Well done mate
