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 .

So getting the .223 wasn't the start of chavness!! 

Definitely not ? I was all glow sticks, white gloves and whistles ? my mate sent me a video a while back ( I think it’s on YouTube) and I think I’m 17, I look like I’m not quite sure what’s going on for some reason ? very different times and a small miracle that I’ve grown up to be a sensible pillar of the community ?

Hehe ? sure I can't imagine why you were dazed & confused! 

I can't talk mate, when I was 17 I thought I was Kurt cobain reincarnated; long hair, pierced lip, ripped jeans & i was even lead singer in the greatest punk-grunge band to perform in betws y coed!!

My mate had a report of a fox seen in a game cover on Tuesday and another spotted at the back of his place , so last night the plan was to target both of them. On arrival at the shoot if was raining heavy so sat in the motor for 1/2 an hour until it eased. Got set up on some bales and it started blowing a gale and peeing down  again ? Vixen mating call was playing and it wasnt long  before a fox was coming in from a long way out , followed it til it disappeared into the game crop and then reappeared at around 100 yds , a dog fox accounted for

Not so much " back up the shoot" but back up between two shoots ?.

What a grand morning down here. Cold and fresh. Nice sun.

I was there early, first light but had to return  home......I had forgotten  the caps ?‍♂️. All in all 28 miles by the time I had doubled up the journey today  ?. Muppet.

I've got one on camera. Just after 8pm, 2am and 6am he visits the stink pit.

Then it was off to try for the other fox which had been spotted ? Entered field where it had been seen , a hand squeak and there it was in the far hedge . Kept calling and had it come in nice and steady , this time a vixen ? So a very successful night with both foxes targeted accounted for ??

I put a camera out the other day as me mate was saying there’s a fox about!

so I left him a partridge and a couple of pigeons.. came back next day and the partridge was gone and the pigeons were half bearied.. thought I was game on till is saw the culprit, the biggest rat I’ve seen.. it’s wrestling with partridge here ?
