Just had a couple of hours on a vermin mooch , still too warm 22c and very breezy. Didnt see a lot but any vermin brought to book is a good thing , especially the 2 magpies ? Unfortunately I am not the only person who shoots this ground and spent some time picking up spent cartridges , why cant they just pick them up ?

Watching an old guy on TV who predicts weather and he said snow from end of October into November ?❄❄❄

Yep Autumn is almost upon us , nights getting cooler although still unseasonably warm through the day. Breezy this morning with the leaves falling. I'm looking forward to getting my young border x out mooching for some pheasants ?

I'm in fields of sheep all the time and never had a problem they just look at you or move out the way , now cattle are a different story they can be mental especially young bullocks charging about all over , I always try and give them a wide berth ?

Theres no way I could have left it , I'm too nosey ? I would need to see if it was a dog or vixen , cub or adult and what condition it was in.

I wish it would cool down , just been out for a few hours and I was knackered with the heat again, I think it was 20c when I went out and still 17c when I packed up at dusk. Anyway I spotted an old buck on the edge of an old game cover around 180 yds away. I watched him for a while and he gradually moved a bit closer and stood broadside, I was already on the quads but had a bit of buck fever as havent shot a deer for about 3 months . I steadied myself and took the shot dropping him on the spot. What seemed like a good shot however wasnt as I was aiming behind the shoulder but hit him in the b

Looking canny mate , when's your 1st shoot ?

Popped out today intending on decoying corvids again as they have been on a drilled field all week but today they had other ideas. I only shot 4 crows and it was dead so went for a wander looking for squirrels and ended up setting up again on a stubble but still nothing moving and only shot a few birds so decided to go home. As I went through the farmyard I spotted some magpies so decided to give them a try . Glad I did as on this little mooch I shot 3 magpies and another 3 squirrels. I got a unique right and left of squirrel and magpie ? So not too bad a day in the end mopping up vermin with

I hated that Monkey programme , what a load of shit but my brother always watched it. It was on a par with Rentaghost ....remember that ?

Jack Pyke is awful cheap rubbish , I tend to buy deerhunter stuff these days as suits me , good gear and not as expensive as Harkila etc......

Yep they soon learn about IR , seen a few foxes coming in to the caller then the IR switched on and off goes Mr fox sharpish............

Yep we've all done it , I learned a long time ago that if you're not comfortable it invariably results in a miss. But on the other hand there is the view that if you dont pull the trigger you will not get it either , decision lies in the moment ....right or wrong.

A nice little mooch ?

I have always said if you want something doing Stav do it yourself. It is very difficult I have found to find reliable people in this world be it syndicates or work that is why I prefer now to be a lone wolf. I popped out last night to a couple of rabbit permissions just to show my face and see what the numbers were like but weather conditions weren't good , very still and still loads of cover so didn't see much. The freezer is getting low on dog meat so needed a few bunnies and managed the few that I saw.?

Back to reality mate , no more bagfuls of easy Southern foxes ?

I've shot 753 corvids and woodies off this farm since 24 April...

Today I was protecting drillings again. The last 2 days I have watched this field and there have been 2 to 300 corvids on it so was looking forward to a red letter day. On arrival though there was no birds about ? but it was only 10 am. I always sit it out all day expecting the birds to show up eventually. Anyway movement was slow but I shot really well taking most birds that ventured in range. I shot the best woodie I have ever shot , I took a right and left with the 1st bird at 40 yds and the 2nd at 60yds and it was stone dead , dropped like a brick, I was over the moon to say the least ?

I also have a Tikka T3 which I bought when they were first launched and love it. Out of the box accuracy is great and as SL says they have a lovely silky bolt. I have put quite a few guys onto Tikka and nobody was disappointed but at the end of the day it boils down to personal choice.
