Yet 340 something MPs can claim their heating bills on 2nd homes ..which are also paid for on expenses ..good work if you can get it ..

Middle of October the fallow rut is on ..they do like to shred a bush or two ..

I managed to miss one the other evening while driving the wife’s car , biggest wild boar I’ve ever seen , it wouldn’t have wanted to hit it in my landcruiser , let alone her little car ..there’s a tidy few of them about now .

Few years back my brother arrived back at his villa to find the pressa guarding a chewed up trainer ….it wasn’t one of his ..someone had a very very lucky escape ..

It’s what comes from letting women out on there own with a loaded firearm …?, mind it’s easy enough to make a mistake , it had all the characteristics of a wolf , four legs , tail and a mouth full of teeth ..it’s easy done ..? If their is a plus side I bet all the other owners keep there dogs on a lead when there in the park ..?

There is a young Spanish couple we bump into some mornings that bought a Mali pup on the back of watching loads of vids on how clever and how easy they are to train ..they give no thought to how much time , effort and knowledge is required to get a dog to that level, I’m sure they think they can give the dog a book and let it crack on , now nearly six months old they are getting dragged along for its early morning less than a mile walk ..if ever there’s a disaster waiting to happen it’s them ..

The fallow get very very wary when put under to much pressure , it wouldn’t take to many nights for them to spook at the first sight or sound of people or machines .While some night shooting would work you risk the chance of moving them to places you can’t get at them at all .By the time the season was half done we could see the pattern developing where they new where they were safe and stayed there .We could often see 350 plus laying out all day in safe fields and only in the last couple did we get access that allowed us to move them around .What ever the law says you are going to have people

We fish quite a lot on the Jucar river near Cullera , you wouldn’t believe the amount of rubbish Spanish anglers leave behind , I bet every single time we go we collect a black sack full and it hardly makes a dent in it ..they have this someone else will clear it up attitude ..the English lads that fish to a man take their rubbish home ..

The Spanish youngsters are as bad if not worse than the kids at home , even the Spanish adults think nothing of dropping paper bottles etc , it’s a bit like the uk in the fifties and sixties .. This car park is opposite a night club , the four nights a week it’s open this is what they leave ..at the end of the car park just out of view are four huge bins ..July and August sees it twice as bad ..the council come round at first light and clear up ..it’s mental how they let them get away with it ..

The Arms industry along with the Energy industry must be rubbing their hands ..Can you imagine the funding and rebuilding contracts that will be on offer ..All the aid being given won’t be without strings I’m sure ..

Is exaggerating a side effect of the anaesthetic or have you got the metric imperial measurements mixed up , 9cm don’t want any publicising ..? Glad it all went well ..??

It could tip you over the edge mate …better to be looking into the air rifle section than be in looking out ..??

That happened a lot years ago out here , the land got passed down through the family , the sons got all the good and valuable farmland , the daughters got the scrub land by the coast …fast forward seventy years and their are some seriously wealthy old women out here .A front line building plot in Javea starts at seven figures ..

Years back when I used to be up and down the old A13 , there was a little nick by the lights at Rainham , the other side of the lights a chap had a house , there was a long strip of waste land that run for for a good couple of hundred yards with scrub trees and bushes to the front , over the course of a few years bit by bit he was moving his fence and adding it on to his place .One night on our way back with the dogs we actually watched him move the posts , he’d cut the vegetation back just four or five yards , uprooted the old posts and moved them , used the old wire and when I drove by next

I think the fallow and muntjac have had a fairly easy time over the last couple of years , from my pals reports a lot of the surrounding land took next to nothing deer wise and numbers have clearly increased , bit like the time of the foot & mouth outbreak a few years back where the fallow had a fabulous breeding season , down in our part of Sussex the numbers spiralled because nobody could get out , The Ashdown forest was completely out of bounds ,even the road casualty numbers ,which were normally in the hundreds dropped significantly because the deer weren’t under any pressure to move .

The pal that took over my stalking was offered twenty pence a lb , halfway through the season the game dealer didn’t want any .He found a local butcher that started taking some and he started making burgers sausages etc rather than waste it , given he had to continue culling albeit on a reduced scale , he did very well out of the produce , second season the butcher took virtually every beast he shot , given these were mostly head and neck shot and had been hung in the cold room for at least a week so he was getting prime carcasses , he clearly had a clientele for them , and he collected ..This

Alas I know plenty of experienced stalkers , some of thirty year standing , but leaving it to them would show scant progress .You need competent , willing and enthusiastic people , when I was culling I eventually built up a small dependable group of shooters who turned up when asked , or where ringing me for times even when it was freezing cold , pouring rain or stupid o’clock in the morning , people who stuck to the plan , stayed where put , and shot what they were told to shoot . The amount of people begging to come out that cried off when invited was unbelievable and for all manor of wet

It’s the recoil from the gun , 12g is way to much gun , four ten is perfect .My pal who had MN looked into it before doing the deed , when diagnosed with it he said the day he couldn’t wipe his own arse would be his last , it was ..brave man .

£54 million ..peanuts compared to what the oil and energy companies are ripping us of for ..Shell £9BILLION profit in the second quarter , BP £6BILLION profit second quarter , Exon £15BILLION profit inthe second quarter , the highest quarterly profit ever recorded by an oil company ..that alone is almost five times the $3.4 billion the US has given aid to Ukraine … In just the last twelve weeks just these three oil companies have taken £30BILLION profit ..that’s without all the other oil and energy companies all racking up record profits ..these global companies are rinsing us big time .
