    I have a 455 and I’ve found that all cz’s are very similar ?

    I go for the head shot rabbits with the .243, still good eating and you just need to tip them upside to gut them ??
  3. Stavross
    As most of my rifle shooting is pest control and it’s my favourite round I’d go .243 ?

    You will never buy a better rimfire than a cz ?

    Nice one, welcome to the club ?

    I’ve got a 10lt safe for all my extra ammo that doesn’t fit in the gun cabinet , I think it was 25 quid off eBay and firearms are more than happy with it as it’s bolted to the shotgun cabinet

    A job well done and another cracking write up, you should write your memoirs of a fox controller, you tell a story very well ?

    Yep, you are not wrong, the other lad that runs the shoot could of sold a day for £2000, he already had a team of guns lined up for it with a cap on numbers they could shoot, we could of put another 500 birds down and with the extra £50 we are paying per gun I think we could of given the members 7 days shooting for about £55 a day, I don’t know anywhere you could get shooting like this for that money, but each to there own, it’s a private syndicate so we all have to agree on how the season is going to be run, I think if we let the day we would of struggled for beaters with the miserable old bu

    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 ?
  16. Stavross
    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 ?
  20. Stavross
    When you go to buy ammo for it make sure you tell them you want 190 grain, your dealing with northern foxes ???
  21. 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 ?
  22. 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 ?
  23. Stavross
    Nice man bag, it beats having pockets stuffed full of gear ?
  24. Stavross
    Your ok for now with your pictures but I’m in no doubt the idiots are coming
  25. Stavross
    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 ??
