Few years back I went out one morning to feed a couple of pigs I had. Dropped feed into field and saw something stuck out of the Earth they had dug up....now I am not a million miles away from Catterick base and it looked like a pretty big anti aircraft round to me......called cops......”don’t let the pigs touch it “......bomb squad and cops turned up.....turned out to be a tracer round......made safe by bomb squad and daughter wanted to take it to show and tell next day
Hunting squirrels with mates nearly 40 years ago and ran one into a log pile. Started taking the logs off when it came jumped out straight at my head....swatted it away but the little twat sank it’s teeth into my thumb which bled all day.....sat looking at the scar now all this time later .
Shooting in a snow storm and put a snipe out of a ditch, just about to pull the trigger and heard sound of tearing paper and a peregrine folded onto it....gobsmacked.
Just booked a week on Skye for July fishing looks very good and am booking a day with a guide i know up there.......apart from that would love to flight wigeon and pinks under a moon.
First time for me was Ozzie Osbourne in Leeds about ‘82......he had shaved all his hair off, bald as a coot but that was something to a 14 year old ...
