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 .

That'll do for another 10 year that! 

With all that string, a £12 bucket of barbed wire would have been cheaper. 

Bet the missus wouldn't like that in your jean pockets.

That’s a task I keep putting off, not much gorse but some thick patches of small trees and bushes and I need to cut a few rides through a couple of plantation blocks because you can’t get through with all the dead lower branches, I can’t wait ☹️

Sat up a high seat at the moment, knocking some more tree rats over with the 22 . I’ve had five so far . Just been sorting out the water in the main pen . I’ve been running acid through the pipes to clean them out and I’ve got an hour or so to kill before lunch. Nice weather and I can almost see the maize growing after that rain . Life’s good .?

I reckon we are overrun with them this year . I’ve had a few sessions on them over feeders and it drags them in from far and wide . Top a feeder up , give it a week and sit there and shoot away. 

Great sport.
