  1. Quality time spent there mate .You may not have the deer numbers we have but the scenery is to die for .Good on you two .
  2. You keep that' introducing' up mate and you'll regret it ,lol.Good shooting there Lee .
  3. .22 rifle is the prefered method around here mate .NO-one knows the deed was done either .
  4. Long time since i had a harris but consider this .If your newly aquired bird or any other bird for that matter has had some knockbacks at the real deal ,young or old ,whos fault is it .You obviously strive to provide the younster with as much easy slips as is practical but they do not all make the grade .A youngster can be easily overmatched and an adult can and does go through bad patches .Personally ,i would keep trying the youngster on the right ones ,even part with it if it didnt do it to my liking in the end .A baggie of any description whether talking about b.o.p or dogs serves only to p
  5. I think theres a bit of plonker pulling here lads .
  6. Aye ,might be me unlocking the sheds next time he visits and im a better shot with a stone
  7. ..............................Cant beat anything by D.B.PLUMMER for a factual bedtime read and come to think of it the terriers of the same name are in my opinion the best when it comes to earthwork .Yours in sport- Pinnochio.
  8. Out first light this morning to have a walk round the usual chicken farm .The organic sheds are now spread between two fields ,divided by a hedge.Walking towards the second field i could see a fox walking along the electric fence line in the distance as this field slopes upwards slightly .I knew a squeak would send it packing so decided to stalk closer.The gate to this field was open and to my surprise ,the lad that lets the birds out mornings was still in the field ,lifting shutters on the last shed .Charlie was making his way down to me along the bottem right hand corner of the electric fen
  9. Nice one Remmy .Keep meaning to put up a seat on some of mine but its having the time .
  10. Personally ,i've seen a great many fox killers to ground and from most recognised breeds too .Dont own one at the minute ,that is to say not a regular killer as in the true sense of the description .Owned a black type once that had it down to a tea ,shut many a farmer up i can tell you .We used him mainly on big bale stacks and undiggable rocky places .I saw him kill twice ,once in an old electric duct on a deserted RAF camp and again in some broken paving slabs .He was' nt particular about his first hold ,offering his shoulder to get under the throat but hes long dead .Once saw a tiny JRT th
  11. I have to move roe a fair way on some of my ground and i drag it by the back legs .No fuss just hard work .Deal with it .
  12. Got the invite to have a look around some of Martins ground on Tuesday of last week .This piece of land is in a valley ,well a valley within a valley to be precise .The whole scene was a sea of buttercups and bathed in sunlight .Truly a pleasure to be there .After Martin parked up ,i surveyed the land with the bino's but saw nothing .On Martins recommendation ,we skirted left handed towards a clump of hawthorn where the deer sometimes hang out ,according to my host .As we approached ,i was busy scanning the opposite fields when Martin motioned to me and pointed over the nearside fence and alo
  13. Well, what can i say .I do enjoy the company of like minded people and we have a lot of deer around us so why not share Well done Martin .
  14. A local lake to me is heaving with the buggers .Any bait fished any depth ,a right pain .What i want to know is -why do they die in a keepnet when caught .A seperate net from the fish that is .Any ideas Murph ?.Oh and a brilliant write up mate .
  15. Yes excellent and i see from your avatar, Kay ,that the diet is on hold .
  16. .........................But not if your a pigeon.
  17. Is that one you hatched mate ,surely not a wild English specimen .Or is it? .
  18. Decided on a stalk down at a local farm before work yesterday.Met the farmer as he was getting the cows in and he told me of a buck in some mowing grass on the boundary of his place .Cautiously approached the area and sure enough ,there he was with two does ,all three couched against the hedge maybe 350yds away .The only way i could see to get a shot was to crawl through the grass to within a shootable distance .The grass my end the field is long as opposed to where the cattle have been strip grazing the other end ,where the deer where .10 yds into the crawl i was soaked as we had a bit of dr
  19. Hello mate -The shot went clean through and the beast jumped a good 8 ft into the air before running blindly through cover and died in a grass field beyond .Cheers .
  20. Anybody lost a harris in Wiltshire.Looks to be a male but may be an underweight female .Still tame enough but not interested in a lure.Leather jesses,no bell .Self hunting i suspect .Any inquires and exact location ,pm me .
