  1. You have to remember that it's more of a lifestyle than a job , keepers dont do it for the money but love of the countryside. Wish I had done it when I left school . Imagine basically being your own boss outdoors sharing it with our beautiful flora and fauna , beats working in an office I know.
  2. Or a hungry fallow ? You are lucky having a job like that ?
  3. No expert but .22 Hornet then WMR then HMR. Sausagedog will elaborate no doubt ?
  4. I constantly check the weather forecast, dont go out without checking as saves getting pissed off ?
  5. Stalking again this afternoon on my mates ground. On our way to our chosen spot I glassed a roe peering over the top of a high cover crop , head shot only which my mate performed admirably, no pic as a bit messy. We then headed for the other end of the ground where I spotted 2 roe , a lot of open ground between us which meant for a challenging stalk which involved a nice crawl. The 2 roe then decided to lie down . The distance was about 150 yds but my mate dropped the 1st one with a shot through the atlas joint , straight over. The 2nd doe stood up and continued to check out its fallen comra
  6. He plays you all like a fiddle ??
  7. Think hes just winding you up ?
  8. I use Panasonic mate and have never flattened a battery yet and that's lamping rabbits for 6 hours or more constant. Expensive but the best ?
  9. Mjoelner sticks from bestfoxcall £100 ....worth the money ?
  10. Love the quads mate but will never convert to thermal and nv (unless I get it free ) .Fox numbers just dont justify it . Remember I was using mates thermal and nv before you had it and have decided it's not for me. I still prefer to see those ruby eyes coming in but that's just me.
  11. I then decided to have a look out the back of the farm and low and behold spotted a doe ? up on sticks ,neck shot 100yds , that's better ?
  12. Checked zero on my rifle as missed a fox last night at around 200 yds , human error as always ......shot 1inch low at 150 yds ??
  13. So sorry to hear your sad news , my sincerest condolences. I cried when I read your post , can't imagine your grief.
  14. Good luck . Wish I was closer as would have a day with you. Maybe next year when Covid is sorted.
  15. Much prefer raking about , standing on a peg I find quite boring .
  16. Ah Corbridge lovely country up there , only about 20 mile from me.
  17. I think CWD are the best tasting personally.
  18. Not allowed to call them coloured mate ask the the boss of the FA ??? You will have to refer to them as birds of colour.
