  2. Tonight see me at the small farm just up the road to me , slightly later than planned I pulled onto the camping field (closed now) at 5.40 .As we made our way to the seat I've named the Heineken seat( because its probably the best seat I've got) in the paddock , the plan was culled....sheep in the paddock ...sod it ..next plan was to get in the clearfell seat ,cutting right into the field were there is never any deer to get to the wood the I was greeted by the sight of four deer , heads in the hedge at the bottom of the field ,I tucked into the hedge on my right and watched...4 prickets ,getti
  3. What you got to loose ? he seems a sound geezer , even if he just gives you some info . If you pm him & he doesn't reply what you lost .......What was it Del Trotter said ,"he who dares Rodney "......

  6. Thought i'd post a couple of pics of the location !..........couldn't get them on the original post
  7. This after noon ii went back to the chicken farm a smallish property (150acres) were I do the fox & deer control ,needless to say whenever I go out Charlie is the number 1 quarry ,with 60 k free range chicken he is as welcome as crabs on a nudist beech .But there is also a healthy head of fallow which need keeping in check ,Thursday I went over to have a look round , my initial plan was to sit up in the track seat ,a shed like hide atop a 10ft high mound on a scrambling track the guy built for his moto bike mad sons .It looks down to the wood ( about 50 acres ) exactly 100m away , the gras
  8. Yes ,when the ruts on fall blast they aren't the sweetest smelling thing on the planet (unless your a fallow doe ) but the game dealer takes them all .I normally cut 2 or 3 prickets up for the freezer in august then top it up again end of nov with yearling does which eat fabulous ..
  9. In days long gone Matt it never seemed a problem , just grab its headgear and pull ,now the bloody things grab hold of every obstacle ,every sapling , anything they can to cause you as much agg as possible ..................................................................nothing to do with age

  11. I would think this internet thing could be your way forward...seems every thing you ever need to know is on here somewhere ..don't ask me were or how to find it though .Good luck with it
  12. No not really I normally give them away .I think fallow wise there is one set on the shed ,a huge park animal & one boiled of head in the barn that if it was measured would only get a laugh ....anything with a really good set gets to keep them .....
  13. After last nights fiasco there was no way I was going without the ramps tonight ! I had planned to go to the same farm and sit in the seat in a bit of clearfell , but after a little scouting expedition this morning I decided to use one of the portable seats on a ride that cuts through the coppiced woodland .During my look about this morning it was plain to see where the deer were going ,their was fresh slot every where & a good deal of it was buck slot .So arriving over the farm at about three I set out to put the seat up ,not wanting to disturb the place to much I carried it down to the r

  15. That's it ,i've heard it all !! ........err..... if I supply the feeders can I join your syndicate .
  16. I cant bloody move out of the seat ......i'm here for the night I think ..
  17. I looked over one of my places this morning & although I never see any deer there was lots of fresh slot , both does & buck.They were obviously using the place it was just a case of finding out when .I had to go over to a mates place but would be back by three ,home just twenty minutes later than planned , I only needed to pick up the 6.5,the dog & bag of bits (bins ,r/finder etc) the farm just a mile up the road I was out stalking by 3.45.Weather wise it was warm ,bright & still ,I couldn't feel a breath of wind . I set of through the campsite field (now closed) and stayed c
  18. Great round that hornet ,shot one for years & loved it , the foxes weren't that keen though !enjoy it
  19. On the way home yesterday from sorting out the new pup(more on that later) I stopped of to glass up a few fields on one of my places that has just been harvested ,leaving the game cover along one side of the wood & a two acre block that the deer have been making a proper meal of . There were four or five heads bobbing about in it so I decided Monday evening this was the place to be . I arrived at about 4.30pm grabbed the kit (dog,gun ,sticks,bins) and set off down the side of a field of maize, keeping tight in I walked slowly towards the wood as I reached the end of the maize I looked le
