I went back to where I took little Hugo last night, mainly to check if the bait we left had gone and partly to get out the house for a bit, I took the .17 with me to put another couple of rabbits out, I had a good walk around checking the rabbit population and for any foxy evidence, not seeing many rabbits I shot 3 all well over 100 yards and headed off to bait up again, when I got to where I’d baited last night the rabbit was still there but was joined by what looked like a badger turd, a little bit odd that it never took the rabbit, walking back to the car I spotted some eyes with the lamp well over 180 yards away, I tried for a good 10 minutes with the mouth caller but it was not interested at all and with the wind blowing behind me there was no way I could get any closer so called it a night, I think I’ll put the trail cam down there and bait one spot, that always seems to work there

That’s rabbit guts mate dragged out by crows etc after the red offal .

Well done on the squirrels. Bit of a moot point on the other problem

If you spent some time on PW you would easily tell the difference!

What ever do you mean SD

I've got a months ban on PW at the moment....

Well I may not be able to tell sh*t from guts but I can certainly put a pheasant pen together on a shoe string budget the second pen is now finished, all new wire around the bottom, full new electric fence, new pop holes and a new drinker system with new 1000lt IBC all for under 200 quid and a bit of hard graft, the birds are coming a week tomorrow so the enjoyable part is almost here

[FOXHUNTER 5,020]

Well done mate , hope all goes well with the poults. Our poults are 11 weeks old now and most of them have ventured outside the pen and are looking well. Ducks are looking good too , just need to watch now and see if any wild birds start flighting in

[Stavross 13,755]

We have put all this effort into the pens and approximately 10 days after they go in and have settled in getting to know where food, water and safety is I’ll be opening the back of the pens up and setting them free into the woods, they never do well up here if you keep them in the pens to long and I’ve finally managed to get a couple of others to stop dogging them in because it just stresses them out, the pellets arrived on Friday ( some medicated) and I’ve got some water additive wormer just in case, so fingers crossed for a bit of sun on their backs
