    I’m with you on that, most of the time just being there is enough for me ?

    I don’t know if anyone else does this but I don’t tend to shoot if they are in the full family group, the reason is you would always shoot the adult first and the cubs stick around for a bit, but if the other adult is there 9 times out of 10 it will be off sharpish taking the cubs with it and then I’ve just educated the rest of them, maybe it’s just me over thinking it

    I suppose if fox shooting is your thing and you like the sport of it then you could almost use it like a game shoot, if you kept it quiet from the rescue centre they fix a load of urban’s for you and even drop them off, you couldn’t ask for a better service ?

    A friend of mine runs a small shoot near thirsk North Yorkshire, last year and the year before that they were over run with fox and some of them they shot had eyes missing and wonky legs, turns out there’s a wild animal rescue centre near and they were releasing them around his land, needless to say he wasn’t very happy and made a point of telling them what had happened to them, funny he didn’t see many over the winter

    It’s a cracking little spot mate, it’s not the biggest but as you will know when rabbits are involved it doesn’t need to be massive a couple has soon turned into a load?

    Sad news, I’ve had a word and it would seem I’ve got no chance of getting this land, I tried the “ ive found fox near your pen “ trick and the response was cheers for letting me know I’ll get the shoot lads on to it, on the up side I was offered crow shooting over barley on another bit of land so not all bad

    The cub situation seem a little bit odd this year, I’ve not seen one yet seen a few adults on my pheasant shoot but I’ve normally seen the cubs by now, I’ve been round the play areas where they spend the days and there’s no real evidence of family group activity, all I can think is they are a little late with the bad winter or I did such a good job last year there’s nothing left??
  9. Stavross
    Cracking, they seem to be out enjoying the weather ?

    Nice one, he looks to be in good nik, was there any cubs in tow, I’m looking forward to my first trip out on the pheasant shoot next week now ?

    I’d be over the moon with that, my mrs made me sell my RM 250 slingshot years ago to buy a sofa for our first house It won’t be long before your heart is in your mouth watching him airborne I also had a KX 500 for a bit, but I spent more time falling of that than riding it

    Changing the subject completely ive been out working with my mate today ( little fencing job ) this was an old farm that had been bought as a private residence 700 acres it has 2 private woods at about 5 or 6 acres and it’s boundrie is the river tees, my mates brother farms some of the land and he runs a small private game shoot for the owner i would give a kidney for the shooting on here and after a look around I’ve came up with a plan, I found an active fox earth near the river, at some point it’s been a badger set but the Charlie have moved in, it stinks, it’s also only 500 yards

    Ha ha, I bet you have had complaints but can’t hear them all the way up there ?
  14. Stavross
    Ha ha, I thought it was because of the size of his legs but you have got me thinking now hes definitely not coming now?
  15. Stavross
    I have to say I love your work, it so different to what you normally see, everything look alive, to me they always look like you have captured a moment from the wild ?
  16. Stavross
    That’s a good buy, they are one of the best bits of kit I’ve bought ?

    A sure way for me to get kicked off would be the sight of me in a pair of speedo’s I was going to take longshanx for a walk round but he’s better looking than me so knowing my luck he’ll get to party in the hot tub and I’ll get to sit in the paddock
  18. Stavross
    Oh yes, half of them are now a rabbit and spinach curry, the numbers do seem to be up on last year, hopefully the hard winter we had done them good

    The little 22, took the 17 had a go with it and put it away, the property is at the foot of the North Yorkshire moors and the noise was a bit to much as the owners were out enjoying the late evening sun, the hot tub and a glass of fizz not a bad life, when I turned up the woman did make me laugh, she asked if I wanted to join them before shooting, the way she was talking I thought I was going to have to put my car keys in a bowl if you know what I mean?
  20. Stavross
    I’m with you on that, I can spend hours just walking around enjoying my surroundings
  21. Stavross
    I’m over the moon with my new permission, grass paddocks, something I’m short of in my collection of land
  22. Stavross
    Nice work, it’s certainly been a warm one ?
  23. Stavross
    That looks better with the SAK, i always like to see a bit of barrel?
  24. Stavross
    My .22 with the SAK doesn’t make any more noise than my mates air arms 410 ( unmoderated)
  25. Stavross
    Armex on my 16” browning .17hmr, very similar to the reflex approx 8” long and slim fits the rim fire very well, I use a short SAK on the .22
