Back up at the shoot

[Stavross 13,714]

Another ball ache of a job, bagging up feed wheat. My mates old man came out when I was doing it, telling me to go easy, the price has shot up, it’s 200 quid a ton that you know. I said I don’t want milling wheat, to which he replied that’s not milling wheat, you will just have to see when I put my bill in and off he went, laughing, the old bugger

Do you bag up 25kg sacks from there mate? Can you no get a dumpy delivered?

[Stavross 13,714]

Yeah, I just use the old pellet bags, we’ve always done it this way because it lets me keep an eye on how much feed is being used when others are going up to feed, if it was in dumpys there’s certain people that would get through it in a couple of days

Another little predator down, that’s two in two weeks...

Update on the sightmark wraith 

now I’m going to take a leaf out of meece’s book here, after playing about with it a bit, less is definitely more, now I’m a big fan of high mag, quality glass scopes but this thing works best on 4x mag and is crystal clear you are more than capable of dropping foxes at 100/120 at this mag and a single red dot Reticle is by far the best

this old dog was approximately 90 yards and the image was picture perfect, again it came off next doors shoot

i had a go at another one that was easily over 300 yards that I would of been more than confident with the vortex scope on but I had a clean miss, I think it was just a bit to much for the wraith

Had first walk with dogs yesterday 

Late night on foxes last night with the pard 008 plus impressing me more and more.

Now up to put a tonne of wheat out. Non stop at the minute but I am not complaining

How do you find battery life with it mate? I've never been impressed with battery life but after talking to others who are im thinking mine might be bit dodgy 

[bumpy22 414]

Seems fine Ben. Always does a full night. But to be fair always carry spare battery

[BenBhoy 4,706]

Do you use just the onboard ir? I'll get through 2 batteries sometimes 3 

[Stavross 13,714]

Where have all my birds gone feeding this morning with the shoot captain, the birds have fully spread out now, walking around you wouldn’t think there was any about, but they are still munching their way through a lot of feed

No dragonfly laser if. Only ever switch on when I shoot as spot with thermal
