Not the way you want it to happen but there was always a chance this would have to happen. I was talking to a lad from a commercial and the numbers he was talking about were high and they have shot a fare few days in between the two lockdowns

Some of the commercial shoots have had some big mop up days . We were holding out to see if there was a chance that we could shoot again before the end of the season but Boris put paid to that .

So I opened my 2021 account with a fine big dog fox

What distance/cartridge was that mate? 

When I was in my teens I was part of a group around Llanrwst, betws & snowdonia ran by a bloke called phil lloyd. Phil had hounds, terriers & some right mongerels, and would work his pack as we waited. Understandably he was very picky who he'd have come along,  shooting nothing but ground game. A good way to learn some self control & safety is shooting driven fox.

I was shooting 32g 4s game bore dark storm . At about 10 meters

We use 34g fiochi no 4 ,and on a whistle and shout of fox all stop whilst the fox is dealt with. 

All other ground game is  off limits.

Well it started snowing here on Christmas Eve and its snowed every day since , really heavy this morning. Typical I cant remember having such good weather for pheasant shooting and we are not allowed. Starting to feel a bit better today , it's the tiredness that gets you.
