    A mate of mine takes orders, he basically drives two mins to a place gets out of the car shoots what he needs and is back home in 15 mins sometimes a bit longer if he needs a few?

    bet you wouldn't, theres no sport in it.. me and a keeper I shoot with are both in the same boat regarding land owners wanting the numbers thining out! neither of us want to do it but we need to to keep the land

    I worked on a monastery site not far from stavs shoot and saw a bloody massive red stag. you can literally fall over roe round this way, that's why I dont look at them as stalking, you see them stood at the side of roads feeding on the grass verges on the outskirts of town

    no.. saw it a few times but there like rocking horse ? so left it alone. reds are even rarer up this way, but from what I can gather theres been a fair bit of work being done over stavs way and they've moved about, a few mates mates have said they've been seeing them 10 mile away from where I am and the forest in the background is linked, its huge so ?

    yeah its a rough old game and safe to say you've had a bad run:( im the same regarding hours, if its raining im out of there.. dont get paid to sit about so I aint sitting about. the farm work sounds good, i did a couple of years in Cornwall/north Devon on farms doing loads of bases for silos and reception pits.. I enjoyed it, made a nice change to normal site work

    ?Shot one the other week and even the dog wouldn’t eat it.. it’s the fist thing he’s turned his nose up at.
  9. si brown
    Yeah I’ve thought about eating them but I can’t get past how much they look like rats?

    What role have you taken Q?! like you I’ve been laying bricks far too long and it’s taken it’s toll.. fcuked knees, plastic spacers in me back and a dodgy shoulder? been getting asked for last 20 year to run sites and the answers still the same? must be mad but I’d last about 5 mins in the office, I’ll keep spanking the ibruphropen and chucking blocks about… wish I’d never watched alf vedersain pet when I was at school?

    Not got a cat in hells chance of gettin shot of all the greys, there’s a park with a boating lake down rd from me and it’s riddled with the fcukers! ppl love it cos they’ll eat out of your hands.. look at size of this one, I contemplated letting dog loose other day? surprised they can climb trees

    I sh1t my self when I saw this one, it looked like an alien when I was looking through the thermal, put the scope on it to have a proper look and it went mental.. thought it was gonna charge me at one point??

    im sure id feel the same as you ben if id been in that situation! but ive had the flip side.. they told me and the wife at one of the scans that our youngest daughter had soft markers and would more than likely be disabled and recommended an abortion and pushed for there and then! we said no and went home and read up about what they were on about and the chances were so slim we agreed to keep her, she's the brightest and healthiest kid ive got.

    I’ve only had one jab as it made me ill as f… I looked like a junky coming off meth?? my x mrs is a hospital manager and my mum worked all her working life at the local hospital and I’ve been watching and listening to horror stories about the nhs for years! think this COVID malarkey has used as a get out of jail free for them as it’s given them a chance to blame the government for it being fcuked. the nhs ate the nhs through mismanagement, I’m all for it being scraped.. I’d rather pay into private and get a quality service

    Had a walk out with a mate this aft, god knows why… it’s not got above 2 over this way, surprised there’s not more snow than there is because it’s never let up! the 12’s in the drying out clinic? had to sit in truck for half hour with heaters on full blast to thaw out so I could Wright a birthday card me hands were that cold?

    That’s some season with a modern gun never mind what you were using?? nice one sd
  17. si brown
    I use that fac air gun with nightvison on it when there’s no cattle about! shoot rats all the time as I can do it out of the truck window and it gets me out of the house when I can’t be bothered walking about:) Got the farmer who’s land the rats were on badgering me to shoot the crows cos he’s been drilling! he doesn’t get the concept that I work and he definitely ain’t gonna fund the ammo?

    Never stopped this year, there’s more about than ever… was out foxing with a mate the other night, we were walking through a bean field that had only just been cut a couple of days before and it was crawling with them. me mate was looking through his thermal and thought they were partridge when I said they were rats he had a right freak out? they were in the hedges climbing trees all over the spot ?

    use to work with an old boy when I was younger, he lived in a chicken coup cos it was closer to the pub than his house! all I ever saw him eat were boiled eggs ? he was telling me about how he grew up on a tiny terrace in middle of nowhere and there was a 3 block of toilets at end of the garden with drop boxes, can still remember the smile on his face when he was telling me about stinging peoples arses with nettles and running off ?

    its the highways bloke who insists on the bw, he dont trust the lads to concrete round them worked for a firm who did a pay thing similar to yours and the mad fckers gave us £5ph bonus when it rained. did blockwork for retainer on Friday bed banged down with the shovel, just on with wrapping it in brick work.. will have 19m of brick on edge to bang on it tomorrow mate chose a good week to go centerparks. on plus sites less than a mile from my house so I nipped home and took the ferret for a mooch today while falks had a puncture fixed

    There’s a Mcains chip factory where I live and the sky’s black with the bloody things, safe to day they’ve never been scares round here? As for the licences they’ll probably specify first light with an air gun, just set up a few fac ones for the defra contractors
  22. si brown
    Tossers up this way are demanding one brick English for anything in the rd now?just done two of these, won’t be doing any more.. straight measure, told him to get fcuked.

    They make barrels for loads of companies but it’s not broadcast, it groups like you wouldn’t belive?

    Think this sites a bit fcuked on my phone, this is first time it’s shown this post? the .204 is great and I like it a lot, easy and cheap to load for and it’s put down 30 odd fox’s since Christmas.. it didn’t like the vmax though:( the one I did whack last night dropped on spot at about 200

    There based on a Remington 700 action with all the crap bits sorted out.. saw a lad I know at chicken farm on Sunday testing his 6.5 creedmore at long ranges he’d just put his in a grs stock, weighed a bloody ton:( be easy and cheap to find a new stock but the bolt would still be on wrong side… I’m a bit weird and can load left or right but my right eye is dominant?
