Back up at the shoot

[Stavross 13,709]

I keep my fingers crossed for you all and hope it works itself out 

will I didn’t see them cubs again, so after shooting them a few more rabbits I’ve headed back to the farm, just in time to watch and listen to the woodcock flighting out to feed, I’ve shot a couple more half grown hoppers around the veg patch and a crow that was raiding the pheasant nests, the field is littered with egg shells

Caught cubs in a larsen trap on more than one occasion..... Save you sitting and waiting, or running a dog through places

If you haven’t heard “ a country boy can survive “  by Hank Williams jr I suggest you all give it a listen . It’s now on my iPhone and I stick it on in the truck on the way to work. It’s lyrics are quite apt for today’s uncertain times . 
         Stick in there guys and remember

Another good tune is swamp music by lynyrd skynryd? Dunno if that's spelt right

My Grandad used to grow his own tobacco, I remember it drying in his shed , he used to like a good shag

4.30 this morning thought I would look for a buck , saw nothing except vixen and Cubs on neighbouring ground. Did manage to get a glimpse of a lapwing chick...

Future gold medal ? Found this little one tucked away while I was spraying off some weeds . I wouldn’t go this close normally but I nearly stood on it .

Post and wire fencing today out in the sunshine, bloke said he had a tractor if I wanted to load the old posts on to take up to the farm, this wasn’t what I was thinking I’ve got no idea how to drive in

Just sorted out the shoot days and it looks like I’ll have a day to offer in January, If it comes off I wouldn’t want any money for it but would like something in return, does anyone think this is a good idea, or should I just sell the day or shoot it myself

If you are like me I’m not that keen on shooting my own birds . I would be (now you are self employed) looking to sell the day and pocket the cash . If money isn’t the issue how about a raffle on here for charity?
