Geese are bigger and easier to hit [BANNED TEXT] ??
-
Great trip Stav, nice when it goes to plan. If I was you I would have a go at the geese on your next trip , great fun.
-
Yes, Scottish Borders. Well the rain stopped so I was back out to play. Most of the farm was still covered in white long grass so I was limited to where I could go. I set up in the same field that I shot the first fox which is gorse , white grass and rushes but knew there would be more about. Anyway after various calling and frustration due to foxes not being visible enough in long grass I ended up shooting 4 in this field but only picked 3 , couldn't find one in the long grass ?

Just posting this while I sit in the car waiting for the rain and drizzle to clear ? Really dark night but struggle to see through the drizzle. I pulled up at a gateway and immediately saw eyes in the field so got rifle out of car , on sticks and 1st fox in the bag . There was another set of eyes in the rushes which I dismissed as a hare , but on approaching to pick up its sibling I soon realised it was another fox but my rifle was in the car , typical it was a broadside 40 yd shot too ?? never mind if this rain stops I will hopefully get onto a few ??

I'm expecting double figures Mr Stavross ????????????
-
Not my strong point either , in fact I havent put anything on the caller for years , cant quite remember how it's done now ? Worth getting that call though ?
-
Have you not got the chicken in distress call SL ? I have called a lot of foxes with it , works great if you need to get the call out a long way. I havent been out for foxes for what seems like an age , been busy shotgun shooting so might have a trip to Scotland tomorrow for a session . ?? Oh and Stav have a good weekend .

1st September means ?? so I was off out at 4.30am and set up by 5am in the grey drizzle this morning full of anticipation as there are a few geese in the area ? As dawn was breaking a pack of 5 mallard came in to the goose decoys, I shot at the lead bird and 2 dropped ? a couple of more came and I bagged another 2 , so 4 mallard in the bag and then the geese started to move. A pair came in and I got a right and left then a few skeins came in and I added a few more to the bag. Well pleased with the 1st day of the season , I also lit up a fox in the headlights as I drove in to the farm and ha

Later on I had a ride to the far end of the ground and another wheat stubble was lifting with pigeons that I didn't know about ..........bloody typical ?
-
Another couple of hours on some wheat stubble yesterday afternoon , very bright ,still and hot and hardly a bird moving but sat it out and managed a few .....
-
Better off just culling them all as they dont like flying, better off getting rid of them . Should pay guns to shoot them ?
-
You camping all weekend ?
-
Does absolutely nothing for me standing in a field waiting for birds to be driven over me , put me in a hide shooting crows now that's much better ?
-
Yep , give me rough shooting over driven anyway. I just love raking about for squirrels or magpies. Looking forward to this season with Bert as last season was his 1st and hopefully having some good days...
-
This is what I have always found with small syndicates , a small few do all the work , which is why I've jacked mine cant be arsed with the hassle anymore. Looking forward to this season just rough shooting with my little dog , more enjoyable and making memories.
-
Good result SL , at the end of the day it is just taking the tools of the trade to work with you. Was it caching anything in the hole ?
-
Saw Bernard at Blackpool in my twenties, absolutely hilarious, dont make them like that anymore. Also saw Chubby 3 times a long time ago and as said old hat now but funny back then.
-
He needs to go to Specsavers ?
-
Come on then give us a report on the Helion ?
-
Nice one Stav , them fallow cant hide now ??
-
I have often thought how technology is progressing. One day your scope will just be a mini computer which will range the target and adjust the scope for elevation and windage, press a button and job done. No more missing which is a shame as shooting will just be like a PC game .Sad really?
-
I bet it was saturated last night Stav , the downpours round here were savage , roads flooded all over. Them Helions are great bet you cant wait to use it. Glad to hear the fallow are showing , must get round to having a look soon ?
-
Well it got to 3pm and it had faired up so I thought bugger it I'm off out with the shotgun. On arrival at the stubble field about 30 corvids took off. I got set up and it was a bit slow but shot well . I noticed a squirrel pop out onto the wheat and back to the hedge , it did this a couple of times so I headed over to ambush it on its next appearance but I spotted it in the tree and down it came ? Back to my hide and shortly afterwards spotted another squirrel so popped back over and bagged this one too. On packing my hide away a bunny appeared down the hedge so after stalking in closer it w

Bloody hell have you won the lottery or summat ?
