Yep fallow on the menu next mate

Got to mate as rain forecast from Thursday

Well a day of 2 halves today , out at 4.30 am and managed a murder buck , good one to take off the ground as could do serious damage in the rut. Then in the afternoon I sat on a barley stubble, not many birds about but what there was decoyed fantastic.

Because I'm a skilled professional mate no need for thermal and nv.

Go on I dare you

Surprised you got out mate as the weather was mist and drizzle all night up here. I was having a new boiler fitted so was indoors all day but not to worry as I've got all week off to get some shooting done. Off out tonight to try for an old buck I've been after then lamping to see if any foxes about

How many deer came into the field SL
