Got told at secondary school I would just be one of life's grafters doing shitty jobs due to me not taking my education seriously. How fekin right that teacher was 50 years ago only thing I have got nowadays over some i work with in the mundane boring job is some great memories from various folk and day's and nights hunting and what not. I admit to suffering from complacency that's all down to me and no one else. As some say at my stage in life it's no good having regrets when it's too late.

It's the cold weather i have felt more this year than any other time in my life thought it might be down to dropping some weight. So much I bought a box of them hand warmer that are in a sachet with two small paper bags for warming my finger ends up.

Wonder if he had trouble with buzzards giving his ware abouts when killed anything as that would have been a signal to anyone who saw buzzards circling in a remote area. Recently been reading about how African poachers poisen what's left over of any animals they have killed to kill vultures on mass that can give their position away to game wardens.

Recently watched a few YouTube videos of that Charlie Veitch were he winds the crackheads and pro Palestine supporters up in Manchester Surprised he hasn't been stabbed or bottled over the head before now.

Good shooting especially this time of year as pheasants are more wary now than earlier on. Did you use lead or steel ammo mate. I always found the hen birds better eating than the cockbirds tbh.

I can well believe it mate. Though one thing I did notice a few times around there was some fields were covered in flint that could knacker a dogs feet up more than any other stoney ground i have ever run my dogs on as it was like having a feild full of razor blades especially if the ground was firm.

Used to see a few flying up and down the River Don even near Rotherham town where the River runs through it. I tend to think the kingfisher will become rare in that area due to mink that have now seem to have got established up and down the Don. I keep thinking about getting a decent camera as it must be a buzz getting a decent picture especially a bird like the kingfisher.

Another happy place i have a wander down to now and again as it brings back memories the old man taking me to this spot when I was about 8 years old catching perch with my first fishing and small centre pin reel even though it's changed a bit over the years due to work on the dams and bridge.

Only went once with a few lads from London it was the first week in February I've never seen as many hare's in one area in my life as I saw that day.

Never got a shot off mate I don't think with it being crunchy under foot didn't help and never even seen a squirrel. Same with the clobber mate never felt the cold even when I had half an hour sat on the stone bridge drinking my flask. Recently bought one of the swazi long sleeved micro t shirts and the paramo bantu fleece that's only thin with the ridgeline torrent i never felt the cold and didn't get too hot walking about a bonus really as since I dropped 3 stone in weight I am feeling the cold more than I have ever done.

Had a good walk this morning though i am now getting fed up of this cold snap tbh. Not seen much bird life bar corvids and pheasants and five roe deer together. Glad I took my small flask that's turning out to be the best tenner I have spent in a while.

I get what you're saying mate and remote places are always easier to mooch about on even in this country. It's the African poachers that have an hard time to say how vast Africa is.

A few have said that due to the size difference. A well known professional boxer and lurcher man from Rotherham back in the day knocked a few big lads out and was only a middle weight as a few big lumps who played for the Sheffield Steelers ice hockey can testify.

You doo right and imo the best decision for your child's education especially with the overcrowding in most South Yorkshire schools.

Know a few pit lads who have moved their and have a decent standard of living on their pit pensions. Not a country i have ever thought about visiting tbh.
