  1. Out ferreting today with Stuart and Peter.Met up at 0915 and took the last nets up at 1430.Had a nice enjoyable day out and only had a couple of rain showers that did not last too long.We ended up with 15 decent sized rabbits and only got a third of the hedgerow done.Stuart handled the spade expertly today.
  2. My most used shotgun is a Baikal s/s.It is my preferred pigeon shooting shotgun.
  3. Nice amount for this time of year.
  4. Stuart has been called Archie Coats Brierley in the past by some who have been in awe of his knowledge.
  5. We had a day out ferreting today me,Stuart and John.Started on the edge of a wood took us till dinner time to get 7.Then we moved and bolted another 4 to shotguns before we had to call it a day with a total of 11.Had a good day out with good company.
  6. Had a ride out tonight and got laid up for a couple of hours.Clear skies and a full moon and wind blowing towards rabbits kept them wary.Could see them among the brambles but they never started to come out till I was ready to go home.Only managed two and will have to stop later another time to catch them coming out.
  7. Nice going your lad certainly looks pleased.
  8. Never gave you a thought must have missed up on a good deal.
  9. Hardly any wind here and it was noisy walking through the leaves.
  10. I met up with Stuart today at 1330 after he rang me to say he had found a few pigeons on a field of cut maize.We shot till 1530 and had a good couple of hours considering we started late.Stuart attracted a few rooks and crows by throwing one he shot over the top of the hide.We managed to get 30 woodpigeon,6 rooks,2 crows and 1 feral pigeon.
  11. Went out for a couple of hours tonight to try out my new photon rt and pulsar helion thermal imager.Could see lots of rabbits with the thermal imager so plenty to go at.But forgot to put the sling on the rifle and had to keep putting it down to scan around.Got 3 rabbits so was not a wasted night out.
  12. Some nice days out by the look of it.
  13. Nice session i find it much easier and quicker just to breast them.
  14. We were out ferreting today.Managed to get 15 rabbits.Had to dig for three as ferrets killed underground.Not too bad though as deepest was four feet but it was hard digging.Plenty more to go at here so some nice days ferreting to go yet.
  15. We will have to have a go on the other field to see what we can get.Not been shot so we should have another good day before he cultivates the field.
  16. Out on the beans again with Stuart today.We had a look at a couple of fields but decided to shoot in the same place we shot the other week.We got set up and it was 1215 when we got sat down in the hide ready to shoot a few pigeons.Hardly any wind today and it was looking like we were going to struggle for a decent bag of pigeons.It picked up a little from 1400 and the pigeons seemed to be moving about more.There was a steady flow of pigeons till we packed in at 1650 as it was looking like rain.We got packed up and just got the photo when the rain started so at least we never got too wet.We fin
  17. We just got under the flight line and there were enough birds using it to shoot at despite the rain. If it had not started raining heavily we would have had a few more,as they were just coming in to the field to feed.
  18. A good job done there putting the buck down.Stopped some suffering thats for sure.
  19. Went to have a go at the pigeons this afternoon with Stuart.As we arrived it was raining so we waited and eventually we decided to just stand under a couple of oak trees that were on a flight line.We never bothered with setting up a hide as we did not want to get everything wet.So with just guns ,cartridges and a drink we shot from 1300 till 1600 when it started to rain heavily and we picked up and packed in.We got 39 wood pigeons,1 crow and 7 ferals .
  20. Nice neat and tidy job you made of stacking them.
  21. Out today with Stuart pigeon shooting.Set up on a field of bean stubble after watching for a while.Got set up at 1215 and packed in at 1715.It was a windy afternoon but we managed to keep dropping some of the ones that came in to the pattern.They came in the best when we put the rotary out and we had a steady few hours shooting.We ended with 157 woodpigeons,9 ferals and 7 corvids for a total of 173 picked.
  22. Mine have been getting biscuits in the morning and meat at night.I only give enough meat so it has gone by the morning.Be glad when it gets colder and i can just throw a full rabbit in and leave it till it is eaten but still too many flies about for that.
