Well our first shoot of the year went well. It was cold but dry and a bit of sun appeared. Bag was 122 head comprising of 57 duck 56 pheasant 7 partridge and 2 pigeon. My own contribution wa

It’s been frosty the last couple of mornings, it’s very welcome , hopefully it will kill a few bugs . Unfortunately the Maize and cover crops don’t like it and they will soon be unviable as a drive .

A trip to the sheep farm last night and an evening that didn’t start well, I’d arranged to meet up with my mate as we travel in separate cars ( social distancing and all that) I got to the place where I meet him and he wasn’t there, I waited 10 minutes and he still hadn’t turned up, so I thought I’d give him a ring, bugger, left my phone at home, so I waited. 20 minutes later he arrived with some excuse I wasn’t listening to, so we set off, 20 minutes later on the back roads to the farm he was no longer behind me, so I pulled over and give him a couple of minutes before turning round to go find him, he’d put the motor off the road smashing the passenger front wheel? changed the wheel and got to the farm where it had started raining. We made our way to where we had seen the foxes through the thermal in the fog last week, within minutes we spotted one coming from the opposite direction from last week and into the wind, winding us it stopped and took off back the way it came from. Almost about to give up on this Friday the 13th when we spotted one coming through the hedge no more than 70 yards away, up on the sticks with the.223 and down it went. A small vixen,  with the rain starting again and the wind blowing it into my pretty face I decided I’d had enough and it was home time, so not a complete disaster of a night, but not far off

If it's one thing I hate its lateness that's why I'm glad I go out on my own mostly now. Used to get sick of picking people up only for them not to be ready ? Christ I am always really early for everything,  too early actually.  Sick of all this crap weather , foggy again? as have got a rabbit Job to do on a new permission.

He asked if I wanted to go out tonight but I’d had enough of him last night ( he’s like that all the time but I never learn ) so I’m staying in tonight and going to the shoot first light in the morning on my own for some squizzer bashing

I’ve known this lad since he was 15 and he’s 40 next week and I can honestly say he’s got worse with age 

I’ve got a mate like that that I’ve known since nursery school, I’ve always just allowed him a bit of Lea way but when he started not turning up when it involved the kids I went fcukin mad and haven’t specifically arranged anything solely with him since:(

nice lad.. feckin useless time keeper
