This wasn't so much back up the shoot but more like on the land next to my old shoot that the new keeper was so miserable so I came off but shoot next door shoot!

Swell guy, sends me birds every season to sneak up on.

Cheers you miserable.......

Hand feeding again this morning ahead of tomorrow’s shoot and my god it’s wet, I managed to get the bike stuck twice, the birds are concentrated in 3 drives ( Gordon’s pen and both sides of the piggeries) with a few small drivers to fill the day in and a bit of luck it should be a good day. With the way Ireland and the sheep bothering nation have announced further lockdowns after Christmas there’s a chance that this could be the last day of the season . I had a little big game hunting while I was up there, taking down 6 tree beasts, I’m going to have to put a couple of feeders out for them, I bet I could easily do a 50 squizzer day, the little buggers are everywhere

One old keeper used 5 gallon drums. He would cut one end. Put some hinged mesh a squirrel could get through and put a fen trap in it with some grain.

Aye we're shooting tomorrow and Boxing day then it just depends on lockdowns. 2021 is going to be dire too I think , dont think we will bother releasing birds next year.
