    It seems to be a fine day for an early evening wonder ?I’m not jealous at all ? I think I’ll just stay at work for the next 7 hours, my boss looks like he needs the money

    I love having a wander out with camera and a rifle, I have confused a few dog walkers in the past when they see me with both and can’t seem to grasp the I don’t shoot everything that moves and that I have an appreciation of wildlife and my surroundings ?

    We discussed that and could of let a day to cover a big chunk of our extra costs but some members didn’t want to give up there shooting and there would of been some excuse why they didn’t turn up to beat for a team of guns

    That was my argument for replacing the members, but on the other hand we think we can fill the places with people that shoot members know and with inexperienced guns, we did a few days last season where a couple of people came and paid a few quid to see what it was all about and to be fair they were over the moon if they shot a brace

    Well we have had our first shoot meeting of the year and everything has gone up, the birds are the biggest jump, up 50p a poult to 4 quid each ?, as I’ve said before we are only a small syndicate and are putting a 1000 birds down this year so that sort of increase make a big difference to us, we have all agreed to pay another £50 each to cover the cost of the birds and with 4 members dropping out we have decided not to replace them and instead offer days to people to come and have a go for £70 ( stand one / beat one ), this could be a good idea or it could go terribly wrong, depending on the p

    Most people on our shoot won’t shoot them because they believe the numbers are down but when you are out and about on your own you will see there is a lot about, you will never get a good count during the day, dusk is the time to get an idea of numbers, I also have never tried them for that same reason ?

    Put your feet up for the evening you deserve it ? we have the woodcock all year round up here, we do have a couple of days in the season when you can shoot them, but this is left down to the gun’s discretion if the want to and it’s going on the table, we don’t like to see people shooting them because they can, I think the reason I seen so many last night was because forestry are thinning out part of the shoot so I think a few have moved further over because they really don’t like been disturbed

    Yeah your not wrong, me having a pee seems to be one of the best animal call I can use well I called it a night without seeing a fox, I did leave some bait on the ride just before I left, a rabbit popped out at 75 yards, so I let it have a 70 grain from the .243, the picture is a little too graphic for here, I should of said I left half a rabbit I left a bit later than I intended because I got a bit distracted watching the woodcock flighting out at dusk I counted 14 that crossed the ride, I love the noise they make as the fly

    It’s stunning mate, I’ve moved to another ride a bit closer to the farm because I don’t like the look of them clouds and as I got here I bumped a group of 7 fallow deer grazing on the ride, very dark in colour and looked in very nice condition

    Well I’ve had to bring some gear up to the shoot for fence repairs, drinkers, feeders etc, and thought I’d give it an hour calling, so dropped the gear off with my mate and headed to where I know they are, been here a little over an hour and nothing as yet, as you can see from the pictures I don’t have a lot of space to call them into and it looks like I’m about to get wet, but I’ll give it a little bit longer and see how I get on ?
  12. Stavross
    When you go to buy ammo for it make sure you tell them you want 190 grain, your dealing with northern foxes ???
  13. Stavross
    Orrr, poor little long one?, get that monster.308 sorted mate and I take you out for a go at them, we’ll see if you can turn a couple into rugs with some big heavy rounds ?
  14. Stavross
    Good to find the cubs if you have taken the adults out, I hate the thought of them starving to death this time of year ?
  15. Stavross
    Nice man bag, it beats having pockets stuffed full of gear ?
  16. Stavross
    Your ok for now with your pictures but I’m in no doubt the idiots are coming

    Cracking write up, you have inspired me to get up to the shoot tonight and if the missus says anything I’ll be telling her shovel leaner is a saviour of the countryside and that’s what I aspire to be ??
  18. Stavross
    I just peck away at them over the summer, there’s not a lot of places to shoot them, baiting up on rides works best up here, I normally get a couple of weeks window after combine to call them out onto the stubbles before the birds go in, my mates just messing with me, he knows how it works he’s ran syndicate’s for years they have clear felled an area at the back of the shoot so this will be somewhere new to bait up i wasn’t going to put a picture up, but f*ck it, I’m not doing anything wrong, in fact I’m helping many other species out, but there’s no need for the anti’s to thank me

    I’ve been working today with the lad that runs our shoot and if working with him all day wasn’t enough he decided it would be a good idea if we went for a walk around the shoot before we have our first meeting next week, ( I’m guessing his missus wanted rid of him for the evening), so after a look around the pens we walked the boundaries we came across 3 foxes none of which presented a shot, one of them was running down a spud field with a hen bird in its mouth, we then headed to where I seen the fox last Sunday and said to my mate that we would give it 20mins or so after 5 minutes a fox cros

    My little cz also didn’t like eley, they didn’t group well at all and seemed to be coated in something waxy, this was a long time ago and I’ve been told they have changed now, but once bitten twice shy

    Seen half a dozen around the back of the farm on the shoot last night and could hear a few in the cover as I walked down the rides, I’m sure I seen a couple of partridge when I was going down the track towards the farm which is unusual for up there
  22. Stavross
    Even I could of hit it with a shotgun, it was that close I could see the fear in its eyes, I’ve had a couple on that ride now with the shotgun, both cubs after I’ve taken the adults i’m sure cwis will be over the moon that it lives to kill more wildlife than, but it’s time will come
  23. Stavross
    Snap ?

    As I’ve said before I don’t tend to shoot fox this time of year but after a terrible weekend at work I was in need of a walk out on my own for a bit of stav time to clear my head, so I grabbed the fox caller and the .243 and off I went to the pheasant shoot, now this time of year you are very limited as to where you can shoot so knowing where there was a couple of earths on the far side of the shoot that’s where I headed, I set the caller on a ride approximately 75 yards away from where I was standing, I set it away with a pheasant distress for about 40 minutes with no luck, I then changed it
  25. Stavross
    Yep, definitely not running off after taking that lot ?
