My mate has meticulous records going back decades. Friend of mine was employed to clear foxes from a wood which bordered a huge house . He caught a fox and showed it to the owner. He kept bringing foxes for inspection for over a fortnight, racking up his fee the longer he kept at the job. The owner didn't know it was the same fox which was refrigerated every night. I wunt fancy that smelly fecker laying about by me muller corners 1 Quote Link to post

This was brought home to me one crisp Winter's morning when undertaking a rabbit clearance job... We were ferreting a long hedgerow,.. and doing real well... There was already 38 shushis laid out, all along my side of the hedge, and to anyone turning up, it did look a tad impressive.. My partner was necking rabbits on his side, and he had been chucking his share, over to me. I had decided to leave them in small heaps, to facilitate collection for when we walked back to the truck.. We had fifty plus hedgerows on the Estate, still to treat, and this was going to be a few weeks work,.. and well paid to boot The Farmer cruised up in his new 4x4 and was visibly impressed... "My goodness, that ferreting business is really effective isn't it" he said.. "Yes sir, I did tell you that we do a professional job, we will definitely make a difference, I promise you" The Farmer was leaning out of his window, counting the conies as he drove slowly along the warren... "I suppose your partner has and equal amount on his side of the hedge , eh?" My pal,.. foolishly said,.. "Yes Boss I've got the same on my side"... BIG MISTAKE.... The Farmer said,.. "I'll come on round and take a look at them"... It was, emotional.... I learned a big lesson that day,...never, ever,.. exaggerate or lie, about the quantity of game you catch,...for sure as eggs is eggs,.. that lie will come back to haunt you. All the best lads, and good hunting to you all... Quote Link to post
