Whilst out wandering around the farm I have now developed an obsession for picking up used cartridges. I have picked up 6 game bags full so far , very satisfying. Todays find brought back memories of when I did a lot of rabbit shooting with the shotgun , a great hard hitting cartridge. Anybody else used to use Baikal Record cartridges?

Just been talking to a farmer this morning Stav and todays price for old crop wheat is £276 and will continue to rise , also red diesel hit £1 a litre. With poult prices increasing together with wheat prices and fuel I think your syndicate prices must increase , what do you reckon Stav ?

No need to take a spare mag just buy an ammo wallet that stores 10 rounds ?

Expensive drop , wont do that again in a hurry ?

I never go stalking without a minimum of 10 rounds as you never know how many you will need. Always better to have more than not enough. What would you have done if you had only wounded that 2nd doe and neeed a 2nd shot ?

That vixen looks like she had a bellyfull ?

Well done lads , plenty venison in the freezer now ?

Seeing as you were going out Stav I decided to have a look out too seeing as the weather wasnt too bad.I stalked up the side of a wood and glassed a doe but never presented a shot with a tree always covering the vitals. I waited and waited until it was joined by another doe which decided to couch up behind a tree. So I had no choice but to edge a couple of yards to my left , I then could see the doe couched but she was looking straight at me . I managed to get on the quads and neck shot her . Saw 6 today including a clean 6 pointer ?

I knew it was a good walk but 8.6 miles ? Hopefully you will have a good afternoon ?

It was a great afternoon, we put in a lot of miles so thoroughly deserved the roe doe. It was a pity those fallow weren't standing in a safe position but nice to see. One day my luck will change and we will get one? Thanks again for the invit. ? @Ianm if you need a hand with the fallow just give us a shout ?

There will be more to the story I'm sure , guy must have been tormented to take such extreme action. You take your chance and suffer the consequences unfortunately.

Seeing as there was a break in the weather last night I decided to pop out to a smallholding where the guy keeps a few hens , I havent been since Covid erupted so a good 2 years. The weather was very still and light and proved unfruitful with nothing seen. With the night still young I then went to a nearby farm. Got set up in my favourite field and started playing various calls with no joy , after about half an hour I switched to chicken in distress and had a fox appear immediately. The fox dropped over a banking out of sight but reappeared directly in front of me at 120 yds. A nice vixen wh

Very scenic mate , pity I wasn't there would have been nice getting a fallow in the snow ❄. Shame about the fox ?
