It was a top day, all the kids got some good shooting and as a bit of a bonus the beaters that wanted to have a go also got a stand and we beat for them and I can’t complain about the birds they put over me Quote Link to post
Longshanx 832 Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 Absolutely gutted I missed the shoot mate, bloody work getting in the way again. Only bonus today was I’ve just bagged 13 hours of time and half. That will be getting put in my shoot fund, the Mrs can bugger off Would have much rather bagged 13 hours of shooting though. Will definitely be on the next. Looks like you had a cracking day mate, I was nearly in tears when you sent me them WhatsApps 1 Quote Link to post

Stavross 13,713 Posted January 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 There was plenty of the tree rats about today, but I think the .243 might of been a bit over the top for them I went up this morning for a few reasons, firstly to feed up and to see where the birds were so I could make a little drive plan for our next outing in a weeks time, there seems to be about four drives that are still holding good numbers, I got there at first light so I could see where the birds had been over night, they were where I had expected them to be, they seem to have stayed close to the two main release pens this year, secondly thought I’d have a look for a fox at day break, that’s making a pest of itself around the farm, I had one come in front of me on one of the rides but it wasn’t stopping, I also think I seen one on a boundary but it could of been my eyes playing tricks on me as it wasn’t quite light, the problem up here is you need to call them into the field or on the tree line as unless you are baiting you can’t get them to stop in the woodland, so I’ll give it a couple of weeks and I’ll be up on a night to have a go at them, there was also a lot of fallow out I walked up on a group of seven out in a small field of rape, I think it’s time I got myself a DSLR camera instead of using my phone because on days like this I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else and it’s nicr to have a little record of your days out 1 Quote Link to post

Stavross 13,713 Posted January 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) Second to last day on the shoot and another cracker, 46 pheasant and 1 woodcock, everyone got a bit of shooting and one of our youngest guns ( 10 years old ) got his first bird with his 410, well done jake, we are now over half the birds we put down and there’s still a few about for one last day, the morning was lovely and clear but by the afternoon the cloud came in and we got a bit wet but the birds were still flying so we carried on, we had my little beater Hugo with us today he had a cracking day picking up, bird in hand and a smile on his face, he’s the big 4 tomorrow so I’ll be round to see him tomorrow for a bit of his cake another selfie for longshanx seen as you mocked my last one Edited January 12, 2019 by Stavross 1 Quote Link to post

Stavross 13,713 Posted January 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 With one more day to go it was my turn to feed up today, I walked 5 of the drives with 3 of them still holding a few birds, with it been this late in the season I wasn’t expecting to see much at all but was pleasantly surprised, I can’t remember a time when we have held onto the birds this late, it would seem that all the extra work we have put in this year has paid off, it was like a spring day up there today with the cock birds out in the fields puffing there chests out and laying claim to there patch 2 Quote Link to post
