Was chatting to someone I know yesterday and he asked me if I was still looking for a little couple of days a week job as I get a bit bored and the beer tokens come in handy so I says yes what’s going on to which he reply’s that a guy we both know is looking for someone two days a week shooting birds on the runway of an raf base on the Cotswolds so I’ve put my name in the hat but think it’s mine there is several lakes on site strictly no fishing but containing carp over 40lb never fished for so if all goes well it will be two 12 hour days shooting and I’ll stay overnight in the van and fish th

We met with @Rickshaw swamilast night, once again thank you mate for your time and generosity. We had an amazing dinner, talked for hours, hunting and fishing dominating the talk, but history, music and family as well, I think we spent about 3 hours together and it flew by, my wife loved it as well. We're going to stay another night in Alabama, maybe more, this place has reduced our speed to get across the states, its slowed us down, which has been great. Waylon is a top man, a proper hunting and fishing man who lives, possibly, in the best place to pursue those things.. the invite i

Thank you for the kind words Kev.Although I feel they are undeserved.Thank you for the invitation.I had a good time with like minded people.Have a great trip and be safe.Call if you need me.I went to meet 2 strangers and left feeling like old friends.

Hopefully mate, we've covered some miles since Florida Keys and not really had a chance... there's so much to see and do, today's drive through Alabama was a shorter distance, we had more stops, and it blew our heads again! Meeting Rickshaw for a meal tonight, really looking forward to it.. Alabama is stunning!

Something abit different today, marking the walls, she did well, then tried flying

Asked the lady I buy my quail and rabbits from if she wouldn't mind me coming by and getting a few buckets worth of the poop from under the cages for our compost pile yesterday when I got out new rabbit does and she was beyond happy to let me . Said I'd be doing her a favor more then anything. She's in her 70's ,been fighting cancer last year or so ,and can't get around like she used to and her usual help has been a little spotty apparently.Well came by yesterday to get a few buckets full and ended up helping her kill and process a few of her rabbits along with some other farm chores . Told he

Wifeys Deep Rustic Quiche. Cheers Arry

Well plans changed slightly, we stayed in Alabama and drove down to the gulf coast, stayed a night in Birmingham and spent some time in the civil rights museum, interesting place abd we were the only people in there, was a bit eerie tbh, in fact Birmingham was very quiet for a big city.. headed down to Bayou le Batre, was where Forest Gump on the shrimping boat was filmed, Waylon said it was the only place in Alabama any filming for the film was done, was exactly how we expected it to be, beautiful..but was disappointed with the seafood, shrimps weren't good and gumbo was OK... to be honest o

ye old ham egg &chips

Well the 2025 pigs have gone. Took them in Monday and collected the produce yesterday. Didnt go for chops this time wanted mainly sausage and bacon. 24 joints 60lb Sausage 40lb bacon joints, currently curing These have much less fat on them than previous ones. Could be the breed (Brittish sadle back X Pietrain) or could be that we managed feed better, or a combination of both. Now I need a plan for the pig pen in-between. Going to grow veg in there, just need to decide what.

smacked haddock in full cream milk with added fresh prawns and mash.....

Truth be told as my grandad always said if you argue with a fool your a fool yourself let my self down even getting into it with him or explaining anything lol I don't need to explain myself over the Internet being honest Daniel and oldboys bought me out when I didn't have a licence got me dogs or went out there way to help me get something theres a kid goes out with us now and before he got his car i drove 30 mins each way the wrong way so he could get out for a hunt ive give him a digging dog a hound is that not what it's about mate I hope when I'm an old man il get picked up and bought ou

My mate could hardly stand up when on the road it was like glass with the ice. A lot of stop nets behind the pig wire and out the road side. Managed five, I'll take that for a nice morning out. Cheers Arry

After a busy stressful morning in work can't beat a black coffee and a catch up on White Death to de stress and make me giggle lol

Was randomly listening to a radio show here as we were driving yesterday, it was a Christian station based in Memphis, was pretty funny to us as there views were,in our world, extreme abd they weren't afraid to say it. There were 4 presenters in a talk type show, obviously very pro Trump and pro the clamp down on illegal immigration.. all of them said the woman put herself in the situation and if she had acted accordingly to the law would still be alive, ie. Turn off rhe vehicle and obey command... im not condoning the killing of someone, as in our world that is extreme, but a lot if people ha

Oh and saw my first bald eagle today..stunning https://youtube.com/shorts/SRYJP4zzAyU?si=OcS3I4ew9SGA5m9K

£75 crazy price luckily me misses got it cheaper £15’97

One of the best places I've been for rabbits in the last 20 years other than the Highlands,is some MOD land down towards Southampton way that a mate has permission on... I get more in 2 hrs than I do in a season local,all open Warren's,and he lets me take a few birds and that's bolting and shooting them

Today we did hot pie mushy peas and gravy in a tray . Any pie with mushy peas and gravy £4 or with a buttered muffin £4.30 , would you say that was a fair price ? We actually sold out by 12.30 dinner time , with customers complaining after queuing outside to not have any left unfortunately.

Pub grub today lads..............real pototoe chips done in the deep frier...and a packet of Whitby scampi salt&vinegar and tomatoes sauce as well yum yum

Roast sirloin of beef with horseradish resting on a bed of cardboard placemat

Putting some timber on now this pup. He's bum high like a young foal at the moment.

Went into Manchester today 3 protests. One was a left wing migrants welcome, one was a British anti immigration and then a Iranian group. There was about 400 Iranians and at first they were a bit suspicious of us walking among them as my son has gone full blown romper stomper style. But after speaking to them they were so friendly and welcoming. They were asking trump and the west to support them against the Islamic Republic. But their message was that the leftists and communists don't know what lies ahead for them if they appease Islam. They were made up of Christians, Muslim sects

Lamb Stew from yesterday's roast joint. Cheers Arry

Nice easy mid week session ferreting some nice woodland Warren's was all done and dusted by 12.30 for 9, dogs and ferrets worked well

Thanks @Rickshaw swami for the recommendation We saw the Whooping cranes and as you said, thousands of sandhill cranes..plus a lot of geese, including snow geese and loads of pin tail ducks.. the hides were great, including a fully heated hide over the lakes.. We saw 6 Whooping crane, the video below is a group.of 4 that we're a little way out, only 800 left in the wild so great to see such a rare bird https://youtube.com/shorts/3Si30U1o1p8?si=UWzLkz9JPrO-r6FO

I was lucky in my early teens,I used to get out with an old boy Jimmy,he taught me how to snare,how to conduct myself around an earth,while digging to different quarry,He introduced me to the landowners and later gave me all his permissions-he was still coming out with us aged 81 until he passed away- without his help I wouldn't of had half the opportunities,he opened up for me... something I will always be grateful for...I still have the old terrier couples,pegging out chains ,and T bar he made me,had em close to 30 yrs

when you get old you need a few young uns,to shift the dirt...the Oldboys share their knowledge and permissions...looks to me that Gunter is flat out enjoying his sport and looking after those who went before him...can't knock him for that mate

Out on the hill today, shouting at flying chickens

I notice the rabbits are white, racist c**t ! Lol
