  1. Cant afford to shop at Sainsbury's mine is just an Asda bag ???
  2. Yep I agree , but it's not that often I go out in the rain it's only if it starts once you are out
  3. If a fox is nearby though they are usually very quick to respond , most foxes I have found are called in between a couple of minutes and 15 minutes.
  4. Easy remedied mate , I always have a carrier bag in my Foxpro bag if it's raining, pop it inside and jobs a good un ?
  5. Glad you still had a good day , typical weather is glorious today .
  6. Get yourself a Foxpro, best £200 I ever spent. Accounted for hundreds and hundreds of foxes .I never go out without it as nearly all my foxes are called in blind. With a wide variety of calls I find it invaluable. You will not regret buying one and you will shoot a lot more foxes I guarantee.
  7. I popped out last night to check my bait station to see if a fox had found it yet. Still plenty rabbits there so wasn't hopeful , started calling and nothing but then I noticed to my left slightly obscured a fox lying in the field. I could have shot it 10 times over but wanted a 100% identification , I knew it was a fox but wanted to see its body as using red led its eyes were glaring back at me but I couldn't see its body. Eventually it stood up , great I thought but it dropped into a ditch and laid up. I spent the next hour trying every call under the sun to try and get it to move but it sta
  8. I am the same as you Sausage , I have wrestled with my conscience for years about nv and in the end decided like you , I shoot plenty and would rather spend the money on clothing or stalking trips. Each to their own , no right or wrong just personal choice. Guess we are of the same vein ? When I was shooting rabbits last week it got me thinking , if I had thermal and nv I would obliterate the population so I'm glad I was using the lamp as it meant that some escaped to breed. The last thing I want is numbers to be wiped out , I want to be able to shoot rabbits season after season. ??
  9. Well done , good to see the young uns getting out ?
  10. Good luck for tomorrow, should be good if the snow stays ?
  11. Have a look at the new Pulsar C50, looks good ?
  12. Or just avoid all the faff Mr Sausage like me and stick to simplicity ???? I bought a Pard 007 and 008 and 019 spotter and couldn't see through any of them , I put it down to wearing glasses so gave up. The best I ever looked through was a Grade A Archer which was brilliant but very expensive. Still waiting to look through mates Pulsar C50 but I just cant get away from lighting up those eyes..??
  13. Well that's that pair cleared up ?
  14. I love it when you stop them and they are staring straight at you before they meet their demise ?
  15. I had a load of rabbit heads etc and a roe chest cavity after shooting last week so decided to bait up my local spot which has had great results over the years until the fox numbers dried up and the farmers dogs kept nicking my bait. With it being freezing and snow on the ground I might get a fox visiting. After baiting up I headed out the back of the farm and set up the caller. Before I even started calling I spotted a fox in the next field so played vixen mating call which had no response so switched to the hare call and immediately the fox started coming in from around 300 yards away nice a
  16. Aye it was freezing here this morning -2 and covered in snow..❄?
  17. I knew you would have it ?Decent size vixen too.
  18. I know what you mean about keeping farmers happy , needs must ? Best off firing a shot and they all bugger off then go for a wander about.
  19. That's the only way to get a bag ? Are you out after slinky tonight?
  20. I personally wouldn't bother trying to shoot pigeons on winter rape , waste of time mate . I learnt that about 30 years ago never done it since.
  21. That cold took me nearly 3 weeks to shift , wife still not better. Went to urgent care yesterday and was told she has picked up a nasty virus ....just has to wait and let it get better ....been I'll for around 3weeks. Roll on Spring/Summer
