    Seen as it was a nice clear evening and nether of us had anything better to do me and the long one had a drive up to the pheasant shoot, dropped in at the farm to see how the old girl was doing and then off over the far side for a wander about with the shotguns, not much about, managed a crow each and I peppered a couple of juvenile hoppers, after we lost the light we jumped in the motor and headed back to the farm ( no need to push the little Tiguan out the mud ) out with the little .22’s and a quick walk around the back field, the rabbits have been busy with plenty of young out on the wheat

    I’ve not tried many different brands, the browning HMR seems to like hornady grouping within an 1” at 100, I did try some Remington but I had a few that went where they wanted so I stick with the hornady, I have got some Winchester but I’ve never tried them

    Haha, you need to keep your eye on this one BenBhoy he’s a proper deviant ?

    Where it is, it certainly has the potential to be ran over, I wouldn’t of been surprised if it had of been under the wheels of the long ones van where he parked it ?

    It’s time will come, as my mate mosh says you won’t get owt sat on the sofa so we’ll just keep at it by the way when I got in I had mud where the sun don’t shine from getting the van out, so I’ll be sending my small’s round to be washed, the missus isn’t happy because some fell off me from somewhere onto the white bedroom carpet, so I was woken up at 6 this morning, not with a cup of tea or a good morning my love but with you can bloody clean that up before you do anything today ?

    We just have the fallow up here in the forestry and there’s a lot of them, I seen 12 in two fields this morning, there’s a couple of big bucks that are almost black in colour, I can take them if I want one but for all the effort that goes into it after you have shot it, unless I’ve got someone willing to butcher it for me I’d rather just watch them, they are a very big animal, a roe is much easier to deal with

    This is on the top of the North Yorkshire moors, it’s only come into flower in the last week, down off the hills it’s still only about 18” deep with no flower, this picture gives you an idea of how deep it is, they are two fallow deer in one of the tracks

    You don’t need to concern yourself about all the space they have made, I’ve still got plenty of beating for the likes of you, good old character building beating ??

    I’ve never had any luck shooting pigeons on grass, they are still dropping in on the edges of the rape but it’s getting deep now, I think I’m going to have a go roost shooting tomorrow night up at the pheasant shoot, I’ve got two rape fields that surround a wood, I was there at first light this morning and the amount of birds was nuts, the rape is in flower now and deep enough to sit in the tracks ?

    All change on the shoot, forestry have started thinning out around two of the pens so I’ve been up today to see them as they want to be in one of the pens, these lads don’t mess about, I was shocked at how much timber they have taken out, some of it has opened up nicely and will create a couple of new drives putting birds over a valley giving some high shooting, on the down side we may have to move a pen, they should be finished in a week or so giving it time to settle down and for the ground cover to establish over the summer, I had a walk over the far side of the shoot and was pleased to see

    The pheasant shoot this morning at first light, top of the north Yorkshire moors, a stunning place to be
  12. Stavross
    Up at the pheasant shoot at first light this morning on the lookout for a troublesome fox, no fox but still a lot of wildlife about

    It’s just recorded on your ticket when you buy your ammunition mate, it will state on your ticket how much of each you are allowed to hold ?
  14. Stavross
    I’ve got a couple of them, they work really well on the rape when it’s getting a bit deeper and on the stubble in the summer, I think when I go to the shooting show in a few weeks I’m going to update my pigeon gear with some enforcer’s ?
  15. Stavross
    Yeah, the hares we get up here are massive ? i would of thought it’s only a matter of time before they move up country, a mate of mine down in Lincolnshire ( robin foxer off YouTube) is over run with them, they don’t seem to have crossed the Humber yet but hopefully in time they will make it up to north Yorkshire ?
  16. Stavross
    The colours of the tits are fantastic, lovely pictures ?

    It would be a sad loss if you were not to continue posting on here, your posts are always the first I read, it would be a sorry case if someone on here had nothing better to do with there sad little life than to stir sh*t for someone else with no reason other than to be vindictive, I hope this is not the case I was unaware of that law with the front stuffer, I presume it come under the same law as the single shotgun cartridges
  18. Stavross
    Just my opinion, but for the roe I’d give some 90 grain SP’s a go to see how they group, for the muntjac I’d use a catapult ? ( by the way I’ve never shot muntjac or even seen one but I believe they are not much bigger than the hares we get up here ?) let us know how you get on
  19. Stavross
    Not the most exciting of birds, but everything is my subject as I get to learn how to use my camera in manual ?

    Some people might think there’s no beauty here, but to me this place is stunning, it’s been over 25 years since I’ve been here with my dear old dad and for some reason it popped into my head this morning and how he used to take me and my brother here when we were kids to play on the beach, watch the blokes spinning for mackerel and the ship coming into teesport, it’s changed a fair bit over the years with the addition of the wind farm but is still a wild place with some fantastic memories for me at least ?
  22. Stavross
    That very much depends what you are shooting, at the minute for fox through a tikka t3x lite I’m using sako 70g and they group very well, they are not the cheapest but the few extra quid is worth it for the confidence of knowing it’s going to hit hard and where you want it ?
  23. Stavross
    Well, he got what he deserved, they were expecting a suspended sentence but the judge thought better of it and jailed him for 10 months, so greed got the better of him and now he has lost his job, reputation and his freedom, GOOD
  24. Stavross
    I think you should run that up on your sewing machine for underdog, it would go very well with his pyjamas, proper shooting attire to go with the front stuffer ?

    As Deker said you may be restricted on your first FAC, many years ago when I put in for a centre fire for fox, I was going for .223 but was advised by a firearms officer to put down for a .243 as this is a deer calibre, at the time I didn’t shoot deer but by saying that I was paying for days deer stalking this gave me an open ticket, probably one of the best bits of advice I’ve had from an FEO ?
