    Correros ...have a look at trust pilot, there reviews are something to behold. To be fair one of there donkeys went down with covid , this left only one and he goes down lame twice a week so this put the whole system under pressure, add to that the fiestas, siestas and red days and five weeks wasnt bad ...three other parcels sent out were then sent back because nobody collected them , given we were on lockdown and the post office was closed it seemed a sensible solution so they didn't have a backlog of parcels ....two of the ones returned arrived back 4 months after being sent .The o

    Smoke Free

    Quit at 30 something , I’m 67 now and up until eight or nine years ago I still had the occasional yearning for a smoke , I loved a cigar or ten !

    Smoke Free

    Well done mate , the greatest secret to packing up smoking is ....wanting to ..once you get to that point it’s a doddle ..stick with it .

    The carp out here don’t know what a boilie is , prawns , corn meat bread is all you need for a days sport .First time I fished using prawns it got ridiculously easy ..The Spanish wouldn’t even think about buying boilies let alone additives etc ..

    No mate , had I been a bit younger and not so set in my ways I would probably have got it .Having seen it at work and as a working tool it’s a game changer .Ive had mates out that use it and there is know where to hide for them , I stood glassing a clump of pine trees for twenty minutes at no more than seventy five metres , my pal standing next to me is whispering there’s 16 or 17 deer in there ..I couldn’t see a one , I’m using Swarovski bino’s and without him telling me I would have bumped them .. Stalkers I know local to me , who before the advent of thermal we’re lucky to get one in t

    Lucky ????? ..maybe , but there was an awful amount of work mixed in with the luck , and even more work to stay lucky ..?..I’m semi retiring this season so won’t be flat out , my pal is taking over most of the hard slog so it’s more enjoyment thing now , knowing if the weather is complete shit I can give it a miss without worrying my luck will run out ...?..

    A lot of the problem is the surrounding landowners , we have two main estates we do the culling on , one 800acres , the other about 650 , and as much effort as we put in to the 800 acre plot it doesn’t make a dent because nobody surrounding us culls , either they are total antis or tree huggers that can’t see the damage there doing to the underwood ,the other estate has changed dramatically over the last 8 years as we have had a combined effort to reduce numbers over the whole area . Road casualties have been reduced by something like 40% , body weight has increased by close on 20% .We can now

    The roe and muntjac over one of my perms dropped of massively when the fallow were alllowed to multiply unchecked , they destroyed so much of the undergrowth it completely changed the dynamics of the deer population . We seldom see a roe , and if we do it’s just passing through and the same with muntjac , they have all but disappeared .. ive been hitting the fallow hard for the last five years , starting in August right through to November but hardly scratched the surface with regards to numbers ..there are some better quality heads about as we knock over virtually every buck that comes o

    Trophies don’t really do much for me , the silver I shot was a malform , it had a third antler growing out of the pedicule and made silver (126.4) mainly on weight ..it got its place on the “trophy “ wall as a cull animal ..I don’t get to shoot many roe as my places are 99% fallow ..and on which there are precious few that have quality heads let alone anything in the medal class .i don’t think I’ve ever seen a gold medal wild fallow head in all the years I’ve been stalking , seen a few good heads but nothing that I would immediately class as gold .Medal quality fallow heads are in the same le

    Over 500gr dry , length and decent span that might make the grade , are you going to get it measured ? ..best I’ve ever shot made good silver , I think yours will pip my one ..left two that would have made gold but they were exceptional heads on young deer , one was killed about three weeks later on the road and the other shot by my pals son next door to my perm on one of his first solo outings ....his old fella wasn’t best pleased to say the least !

    Just received these belts made by Jeemes , there was three of them but my brother claimed one before I had time to get a picture ...worth the 5 week wait it took for Spanish postal servis to get them here ..super quality , fabulous job ..the red one is buffalo leather and was my brothers first choice , but as I was paying I got to choose first , his one was a dark brown with yellow stitching .. Many thanks ...well pleased !

    I’d have parted company with it after it killed my dog , the knacker man wouldn’t have needed his humane killer either ...
