Back up at the shoot


Recommended Posts

A late afternoon walk around the shoot, mainly to shoot a few rabbits around the farm, I had a walk around the piggeries first where I shot a rabbit and as I did 11 fallow doe’s came out and ran down the field and back into the wood, I swear they know that they are out of season ☹️ Heading back to the large field at the back of the farm I shot another 4 rabbits along the oak wood before going to the small grazing field next to the house where I shot an adult before getting 2 for 1 with a 100 yard double head shot on 2 new ones, they must have just come above ground because they were very small, but they grow quick and they would soon of been in the veg patch ?

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 .

I had an evening wander around a sheep farm as a few lambs out now. I eventually ended up heading for a small copse and decided to lay and watch until dark. There is an old buck who resides here , I saw him 3 times last year but could never get a shot.Tonight he basically gave himself up , I had literally just settled into my position and 2 minutes later he appeared 150 yds away broadside. He was going back and better off the ground to let a younger buck move in ?

Quick message mostly to mr Sausagedog.  My mothers best champion racing whippet has just come into season and i think if i could find a good bedlington terrier i could persuade her to et it have a litter of pups.  Do you know of anyone in the north with a good sire?

I was watching 3 last week.. I’d seen 1 in with the sheep and they weren’t bothered and there’s no lambing going on there so it got a free pass!

I take it it was dog and vixen and one of last years hanging in as a helper, as all chilling at the edge of a neighbouring wood that I can’t shoot

A walk around the sheep farm, just to out the house, my god it was freezing and the wind was crazy, I only managed 5 rabbits and a one eared hare, found some fresh fox poo over the far side, so used the hoppers as bait and I’ll be back for a look this week if the weather ok and I don’t work myself to death in the next few days ?
