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 .

Thanks for everyones input on Trail Cams, I've just ordered one like I posted.    I'll stick with one for the time being and see what it's like when it arrives before investing in more!

Cheers :thumbs:

Good idea, they might be a bargain, but they might be crap. Only one way to find out really, worth a try a that price anyway. Let us know how you get on with it.... ??

Last day tomorrow so up to feed this morning, a lovely bright day so what birds we have left were on the move, I took the thermal with me to see what was about, just looking from the quad while on the tracks I easily seen 50 which is not bad for this time of year, now I’m not expecting them to shoot 50 but if everyone gets a few bangs I’ll be happy, there’s definitely a few deer moving around now, I went up the track through the ruff side of the piggeries and 2 minutes later when I’d turned around at the top and was heading back there was 4 standing on the track, by the time I got my phone out there was 1 ?

so, if it’s the end of anyone else’s season tomorrow I hope you have a cracking day ?

Looks like paradise to me your shoot does.

It’s a lovely place to be, the only thing that spoils it is dog walkers going where they are not meant to be, this has got worse since the lockdowns, sadly I don’t think they’ll all sod off now they’ve seen what my secret place has to offer ☹️

Same for me, noisy nosey bored meddling country hackers! Completely out of touch with nature. Possibly can't even name the common birds and walk past a deer just ten yards from them with out ever seeing it whilst making all sorts of  hideous sounds trying to encourage their rampaging dogs back ?‍♂️

Have a good last day mate , 50 mph winds tomorrow that should test them ?? Now season is over we will be able to get a few deer grassed hopefully ?

I’ve already had a few messages off a few members all giddy about the windy forecast, just got to hope there’s a few birds for the wind to get behind, we’ll definitely get a few days on the deer sorted?

Count the cartridges fired, not the bird count ?

Cheers, D.
