Half the fun of stalking is having the dog out with you . Cracking looking Lab , hope he got a treat as you gralloched...

Out of picture is a forty foot artic with full mobile butchery , with block & cleaver chiller , hanging rails , vacuum packer and forty seven spare knives along with the full sharpening setup ..? the knives are one for its arse , one for its head and one for the rest ..the aka is the pocket knife the others are in the gralloching roll .

We get them fairly regularly after the birds on the feeders , seen them strike a couple of times over the years , it really is all over in a second with just the odd feather floating down , both times that I have seen it there was only a couple of birds using the feeder , when there are lots on them he they don’t seem to try , they often fly across but never seem interested ..

That looks a really useful every day knife , nothing fancy just a good all rounder .The quality speaks for itself.. -
Out early this morning I was over the farm before light, managed to knock a whole cup of coffee over filling the compartments in the centre console ? ..that cleared up and with hardly a breath of wind I started my way round the chosen route , all the fields that were the normal hang outs were empty , yesterday there was upwards of 90 out . Two hours in and not a deer to be seen , cutting back through the wood I bumped a bunch of thirty , nothing I could get a shot at but at least I’d found some so pressed on into a plantation of oaks where I found a few more , again no chance of a clear shot I

With the prickets and bucks I used to hook there heads on the quad rack then stand on the back and pull them up , quite a few times I ended asreover head and back to square one .. the doe’s were never a problem I could just pick them up and put them on .. this getting old is a pain !

I’ve had one of these for the last few years .. When I bought this pully it was about £14 ...it came with a gambrel but I prefer the smaller type , this and a length of climbing rope saves me no end of struggling , you can see the self locking bar in the top picture . The big stuff I normally lower down straight on to the quad once I ve gralloched them . I don’t know what possessed me to carry that big buck out , must have been a rush of blood to the head , I won’t be doing it again any time soon ?

Been after this one since the start of the season , big animal no head , I’ve had him in the scope about four times but he’s either been in front , behind or I’ve had no backstop ..this morning his luck run out .Just in the edge of the wood with about twenty five doe’s and fawns with him he presented a shot at eighty yards through the trees ..how he was holding doe’s with his headgear I don’t know , I’ve watched him several times chase of better bucks purely down I think to body weight .. his right antler was broken of the other side was malformed..I thought he was going to do for

It was the blue tits at our place , in winter you had to be on the ball if you wanted to beat them to the cream on the gold top .

A planned afternoon outing on the bucks with a pal was added to after a call from Rabid , who was on his way back home after an unsuccessful outing earlier in the day with a local stalker . Realising he would have time to get to me before we left I invited him out for an afternoon session. Forty five minutes later he was here and another forty five minutes later after coffee we met my pal over the ground . Cunning plan agreed we set of , my mate worked the top ground to get into a seat we’re we have been fairly consistent most of the early part of the season and we would have a look on t
