    Went out this morning mainly to deliver the last of the venison (I had butchered 3 deer and they were in the chiller running out of time, needed to be eaten or frozen). The meat was destined to go to the place I'd shot the possible gold a couple of weeks ago. My plan was to go early and take the rifle with me, go have a look round and maybe get a fox or another buck. Getting there before first light I slipped into the ambush point just as daybreak was making an apperance. What a lovely time of day at a lovely time of year (my fravorite I think). I had been there about half an hour when I

    I am aware of differing heads in different areas and am genuinley intersted in local populations. my local yorkshire deer tend to be long delicate and good points little pearling and not much span.

    Well said F.D. with an attitude like this he may go far good luck. I did it another way, trainee keeper on a YTS then keepering for 20+years off and on then going on to set up my own company taking paying clients out and culling myself at times/still keepering part time just to keep my hand in. again good luck.

    I find any noise a cough whistle bark (fart) will stop a deer if it unawares in full flight just try what comes to mind nothing usually works.

    After meeting my client we went to meet the foxing boys, setting them on we left and were heading for a high seat were the deer frequent alot, it also over looks a release pen so good chance of charlie This chap is as lucky as they come shooting 2 nice bucks in 2 outings both before 7 a.m. Can he make it 3 for 3?? Checking his sights first some adjustments were made((4 inch out)) and we went to the area I had allocated for us to stalk parked up got ready and walked in. Barely 200m from the truck and 30m short of the seat we could see 5 deer already well out in the field grazing. Watching t

    clients using my rifle use privvy 139 factory slow but very accurate in my gun no meat damage little recoil and reliable expansion. i use nosler 125g partition over 46g h414 and a cci250 primer deadly and fast in a 20"tube 2890fps. the shot at the top was a clean barrel and a factory, the 2 holes in the bull are 3 shots (nice)

    Firstly im sorry no video again and it would have been fab must get it looked at. A new client and a new chap to the sport wanted to come a shoot a deer just to try it. Well we would have a go on the shoot this morning where max had seen 3 bucks on sunday morning ,we might also get a fox which would please the keeper alot (ME) Arriving at my house at 5.10 we set off for the shoot. Pulling down the driveway and past the stables we parked and slipped out of the truck. Tooling him up with my Sako 6.5*55 and the sticks I said we would creep down the track 90m and look into the far stubble

    you should only realy worm once infected as it runs a course. unless like me you only have medicated grub left as had no need to use it. if you worm to soon when only 1 or 2 are coughing you cure them but the incubation period exceeds the treatment so others can pick it up . unless realy bad wait till say 10% are coughing then medicate you should get the lot!!!

    well done on the vid and the buck i know how hard it is to film get 2 of you into position and still be in charge of the situation. again well done.

    It had been in for a warranty repair i think obviously stripped and not put back together i.e no firing pin?? He obviously not checked the gun for zero since repair tough.

    Out this morning with a client leaving my house for 5.10 a 15 minute drive to the ground. a lovely dawn, and in the half light we set up a terget against some bales. there was time to have a shot at this end of the estate before we set off. take your time i said, click went the rifle, oh i thought an empty chamber. he cycled the bolt and a live round fell out! upon inspection it had'nt been struck. trying for a second time click again. something was wrong?? we stripped the bolt out and looked at everything , nothing was wrong. then looking at the bolt face i could'nt see any sign of the
