Great shooting that? Fair play to you for sitting it out for 8 hours, a couple of hours is enough for me with a shotgun, no matter how good the shooting is, I’ve just turned down an invite for pigeon shooting in Norfolk because he told me it would be 5/6 hours in a hide 

Dedication mate ...dedication ?

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 .

It must of been a really good year for them, I’ve seen good numbers around here, seeing at least one every time I’ve gone out, ( not hitting them all ?) that’s not how it usually goes around here

I’ve just been talking to my mate down in Lincolnshire, he went out 3 times in the last week and shot 11, went out last night and shot 10 and there’s still hundreds of aches of wheat and rape to come off, I can’t wait for my annual pilgrimage down there in September, he’s promised me double figures ?

He can promise what he wants but you still have to hit them! ?

Took a look on the smaller chicken farm last night as there’s a bit of grass cut and picked up .Wasn’t long before a fox wandered towards the sheds .Gave him a squeak and in he came like a dog .Shot that .About an hour later ,two foxes were seen inside the electric fence ,mooching about looking for lock outs .Shot the first as it came out into the field then the second as it tried to get through the mesh .

Saw two more but only fleeting glimpses at range ,never to be seen again .
