So after your chops did you struggle to get up again? After the shot?

This farmer is soooooo tight . His clothes and boots are falling off him , I’ve seen better gear on a tramp . But I can’t fault his animal and bird husbandry . The place is spotless and he is always working. He’s basically a nice guy , he can’t help the way he is , we are all different. 
        He did used to try shooting the foxes himself but just ended up educating them . I basically told him to leave them to me , as him keeping on missing them just makes it more difficult.   I do if because I enjoy the challenge of foxing. 

Yep we're all bar my, but there you go.  We sound so similar in our outlook.  I love to feel the wind and the odd drop of rain on the wind.  People think I'm  a total loon wandering the land on my own at night. But I love it stalking a target or being elusive if plod comes out or some do gooder comes out looking for me with their grannies path torch.  I've had people walk right past me both during the day and at night.  One time I  had the dog with me and a bloke started to shout at me and walk towards me.  The dog and I slipped around an oak tree and he was going past on the other side. As I  was over a gate he was across the field with his hands on his hips looking out on the next field.  I just evaporated and he never knew what happened or where we went.  I love it.

I normally struggle a bit getting up and down , but when the adrenaline is pumping I can get around like a 16 year old .

Well I just had sandwich last night incase I had to get down and back up again.....wait a minute....I don't do that.

Never saw nothing last night on four places but Intel  says they are there.

Yesterday  afternoon  I got some groceries in .

And now as light approaches I'm sat in a farm shed waiting for crows to raid the farm.
