  1. Head shoot only then cut off and disgard the head
  2. This is only my opinion but i like ferrets to have a season at rabbits before they face a rat .Confidence is the key to entering anything ,be it dog or ferret .Wear gloves and clean the dogs up as said .
  3. Some years ago ,it was general practice to lamp the river that borders some of my permission and pick out the jack pike in the lily pads .They were shot with the rimmy ,retrieved and eaten .
  4. Apologies for the pic of yet another dead fox ..................................NOT
  5. Whats wrong with pictures of dead critters you soft lot .This is a hunting site and the result of most peoples hunting ,mine anyway is a dead creature .As long as the story of its demise is told to accompany the pic then whats wrong ?
  6. Have you not considered reloading mate .Its not the rocket science you may think .
  7. Had a look out with josh off the site and a mate who has a quad .Very light night but plenty of rabbits about .Shot 23 which in our neck of the woods is good going .Just driving down the main drag for a final look in the bottem fields when the driver picked out charlie sat just inside an open gateway.We were moving on fairish so a reverse was needed and he was still there .Just got him lined up when he had other ideas and sped away .We drove down the lane parrallel to where he was running and saw he was headed to the lower ground .Drove to the far gate which was open and lamp on .He was runnin
  8. Age ---------Well ,ive seen this buck for definately 2 seasons in the same location ,same antler style and he replaced another i shot 3 seasons ago .If pressed ,i would age him at 5-6 years as he was going back in body carriage ,ie-slightly saggy back .The molars were well worn which is why i put the extra year on !
  9. That looks to be a medal class mate ,any pics from the side ?
  10. Its wide spread so not genetic Ditch .Could be the purity of the Wiltshire air or the top quality grazing in gods own country .The jury is still out .
  11. We are out again friday on the 3 farms bordering this one and expect to see more .
  12. Thanks for that mate .I will have to write it if it occurs again .
  13. Nothing wrong with a bit of claret mate .The lockup is plastered !
  14. Yes mate ,he was very well behaved .Wants to know when its his turn to shoot a fox?.
  15. My ,that was late in the afternoon . lol.
  16. Fry them as you would mushrooms ,in butter .As said before DO NOT eat when open as they build up toxins at this stage .They look a lot like mushrooms but are bigger and flatter and more feathered on top when open .
  17. There is a lot of crap spoken about calibres and what can and cant take a bullet and whilst im not advocating anyone breaking the law i know from experience that a close head shot would have put that stag down dead .Its not the size of your weapon ,but how you use it !
  18. That is my twenty seventh buck this season mate .The doe season will be hectic i know .The buck in the pic to the right hand side was a 'this years' young 'un with apparent antler growth and was shot on the way back to the farm out of a family group of three .
  19. Dont know why the second emotion took the place of yards ?
  20. Out last friday night at a farm where they were cutting the maize .We were on the quad tonight and had my boy out for a look too .We have been waiting for the cut here, as every fox we see here has been running straight to the maize and the santuary it affords .A look around the rest of the farm revealed only deer .We saw the kit leave the field and went straight there as past experience has taught us that the local wildlife is a bit dazed when this block of cover is removed .Tonight was no exception and a fox ran from the quad as we entered the field .I squeaked and stopped it at yds .A l
  21. A look out first light on a nearby farm came up with this boy .He was too intent on watching a lesser buck to notice me belly crawling across a field towards him .Shot him at about 70 yds .Seems to be the norm down here lately for long front tines !.
  22. ....................Pylons or fences Nice one girl .
