Land Management


Recommended Posts

Took a walk or three around the permissions this last weekend and was made up.

This last year i have gone after the many Magpies and other corvids at every opportunity and fox when they start to take too much game, or livestock.

The wood pigeons are breeding everywhere i look, i had 17 mating pairs of Mallard ducks explode out of two adjoining ponds, Rabbits are low in numbers and i`ll leave them well alone, grey squirrel are also low in number so i`ll leave those too.

After checking some foxes this winter the Hares are coming back steadily along with the Partridges and just a few Pheasants (7 pairs seen).

Not many rats about in the fields, so next on the check list will be Wood Pigeons, corvids,and managing my natural hides.

 

The weather is starting to slowly change, - cant wait !

Cutting out any branches in the natural hides done this morning which leaves me to tie up and shape the hides with black or green ties tomorrow.

Then when the green shoots develop i`ll cut out from "inside" the hide "out".

This type of hide is deadly through the growing months and i can get within 30 yds of any sitty tree with my HW 100 kt sat on a bipod or shooting sticks to boot.

 

The preparation/ fieldcraft is so enjoyable.
