    Until recently we did a farm that was wall to wall organic chickens.It was always a guaranteed place to bag at least a brace a night but in 2005 we saw numbers that were uncharacteristic even for us .We started seeing double figures a night and shooting nearly the same [we never did manage over 7].We dug plenty during the day in the easy earths on this sandy farm .The damage to the chicken stocks went up drastically and we did the place twice a week at night for a year until the killing subsided and we conentrated elsewhere .Some of the foxes were extremely stupid ,with us shooting 2 even 3 i

    Magpie- as greengrass has said ,the buttalo will call in a munty ,at any time of year as opposed to late summer for the roe.You will need to be alert as they ,by there small size can be in and gone very fast .I have called them to within several metres using my voice and replicating the stacato bark of a randy munty calling a suitor .I have found ,and to the contrary of what ive read ,that both sexes call but the calls are very different.The buck is a dog like single bark at about 6 second intervals whereas the doe will bark higher pitch and randomly .Once a munty is called and shot ,make a no

    Ditchy -Just a thought mate but your a smoker right .I was until recently but have seen the light , and by feck do i see a big difference in catch rates ,especially the first night of a set when there is no nicotine to wear off .I have an ongoing problem in my lock up with rats that until i gave up were ,to me untrappable but now the tally is 25 with a fenn and live trap .Your success will come sooner or later and i look forward to the 1000 word description of events lol.

    Ive had good success in the past with 2 single entry traps ,back to back ,especially in the spring .This time of year you have to watch out when setting traps along the water line as flash floods can relieve you of several traps in a night [experience] .I found a good way to lead mink to the trap was to find the runs along the water line and dig a channel to the trap from there ,baiting the way as you do with fish oil .Covering a trap is optional as they are certainly not trap shy when fresh .Good luck .

    Spot on mate , if you want sport you have to travel.I travel thousands of miles a year for my sport.People moan that they dont have the quarry but arent prepared to go out of there way and look for it. Myself ,I roll out of bed at a reasonable hour and decide which hedgerow to walk up today ,all within 10 miles of my house lol..

    If you mean do i take out a few does then the answer is -quite a few .19 does shot since the season started . What don't you like about your Meopta scope?-Keeps fogging and the cross hairs are a tad fine for 'on dark' shots . Will save for something a bit special .

    In the eighties i used to sell a lot of fox skins to the trade and the bodies were given to a cantonese restaurant ,where im told it was a delicasy .I never stuck around to ask how it was done .

    Wasnt going to put this on here as it was an embarrasement,but................ .Last early summer ,i was stalking alongside the edge of a rape field,looking for a buck, when i saw a roe doe on top of a bank ,looking down at me .She barked and i expected her to move off but to my surprise she came down towards me gathering speed as she came .I still thought nothing of it and moved forward a couple of steps to allow her to pass by me but not so .She changed course and headed straight for me ,by now only a couple of yards away .I was caught off balance and she ploughed into my side at full spe

    A story i heard recently involved a similar lurcher ,stolen by 'travellers 'seen in the act .The dog reappeared 2 months later in a bad state.The travellers took her to a police station and collected the £700 pound reward so be careful .The police wouldnt enter a nearby camp "for fear of upsetting delicate relationships ".
