  1. Put some birds down the last two weeks, no partridge, so the season will be shorter. Started on grouse last week then earlier start on the pheasants. Will be back stronger next year I think ??
  2. Used to knock on asking if we could walk their dogs, then take them ratting along the rat infested river, where floating turds were a common sight. Returned them later wet through and stinking but the dogs were happy. One mongrel, Kim, used to swim over and do the opposite bank on his own. Good ratter and cat killer

    Olivia Newton John passed away peacefully this morning. Never really liked her early stuff but late seventies she came onto her own with some decent pop songs RIP bonny girl. Also for those of a certain age, Judith Durham also passed away at weekend, her of The Seekers fame. Great singer, had some big hits in the sixties RIP
  4. Might be damage has been done but it’ll be nice to see and hear the antis go into meltdown
  5. Don’t forget your sun cream fellas ??
  6. Heard and watched three on Saturday and another three last night in different spots. I study them on the moor. The females are just getting ready to lay in meadow pipits nests in the next week or two so the males are getting all giddy and territorial.
  7. Died in his sleep apparently
  8. Bought an airgun with my first wage at 16. Walked through the town to the canal with the gun over my shoulder to try. Then got on the bus to my girlfriends, no one batted an eyelid then walked home with it later ??
  9. Anyone going to this weekends Northern Shooting Show? I’ll be there Saturday

    magazine

    Yep, read them in the past. Good read when all was well with our pastimes and the world
  11. Here’s one from last year. They loose all sense of caution once the Cubs are on their feet, or at least this pair did. The farmer took this photo of a fox stalking a lamb. I picked up both the parents and the two Cubs later that month. Not had a call from this place yet…
  12. Abe books have books with that title
  13. Careful, this could be a red herring. Take nothing for granted and stay alert. I wouldn’t trust anything the antis say. Sounds a bit planned to me
  14. Wait ‘til June/July if possible when they’re grounded then cull in your own time. I prick or take the eggs at this time of year but also shoot during the day and evening if I’m asked.
  15. My daughter loves him and his concerts are something else I’m told. But in answer to your question….yes ?
  16. Before I take the plunge, has anyone got a spare extension rail for a Sight Mark Wraith HD they’d sell to me? Thanks, C

    NHS

    That what makes my piss boil. I’ve paid in for nigh on fifth years and luckily I’ve been pretty fortunate not to need anything major, only through looking after myself later on I might add. When the time comes for getting treatment I’ll be at the back of the queue regardless of how much I’ve paid and how often I’ve needed the NHS. That’s not right in anyones way of thinking ?
  18. Watched similar in a keepers yard once…though the hair was coming from a dead fox!
  19. Not seen Cubs but heard of a few litters being dispatched. Watched a vixen (I think) on Friday night going to a place so I’m watching it. Only just started lambing here so I’ll expect a call soon
