Cracking day ...you saved a tidy few song birds nests from the tree rats with that haul ..let alone the damage to trees , hoppers and feed in them ...

I’ve seen that a few years ago when I was in Essex ,I often see a buck fawn sticking with a little group of roe but by the time it was nine months old it had joined the young fallow ..we reckoned the same that its mother was killed and it ended up following the roe for a few months ..

I have just picked up a couple of hundred acres that joins one off my permissions, it’s never been shot for deer apart from the owner taking one or two for the freezer and even then he hasn’t shot one for eight years ..standing talking to him less than seventy yds away I counted 168 fallow laying in the field that adjoins his house ..as these were mainly doe's and last years fawns come early June there will be another 100 born , ...which just about wipes out every thing I culled this year from next door and a place four miles away ...he’s left the deer alone on the basis he likes to see a fe

For the safety of the general public I’d leave well alone ! He seems happy caravaning on his drive , he’s not adding to global warming with his exhaust fumes , he’s not loitering on the public highway with queues of frastrated drivers getting pissed off and he’s unlikely to run over some poor sod who’s on holiday while he’s trying to fathom out how some new gizmo works ..some times it’s better to let sleeping dogs lye ..?

The old boy opposite our track has a caravan , he has every extra known to man , an awning the size of Windsor castle , seen him and the old lady sitting outside drinking tea and having a picnic with it all set up , washes and cleans it , got a big fcuk off cover he wraps it in The cars all kitted out with special mirrors and anti lock towbar , caravan club stickers in the window the only thing we haven’t seen , is him towing the fcuking thing ! It’s not moved of his driveway in four years ..my pal Iives a couple of doors away and he recons they took it out when they first bought it and got

My last lab had a mammary gland strip at ten , a big op that I would not have normally have had done , she went on for another five years .She hadn’t been spayed and had not had a litter . The new lab , who I wouldn’t breed from has been spayed on the advice of our vet , my wife works for the vets and gets a 70% discount so it’s not money driven advice ...time will tell !

From field to fork ! ...food doesn't get much better than this .

Cracking first time outing ....there will be days you couldn’t buy a bag half that size .? Talking off buying it can be fairly expensive if you fall prey to the marketing men ...you can end up like the carp fishing boys and spend a day carting all the gear out ..?

The snowflakes are falling ! ...inquiry’s to follow , a sacrificial head will need placing on the block ...no doubt some poor sods army career will go down the shitter ...Jeremy and his party will want their pound of flesh ... In reality no one was hurt , no one was in danger just a few of the lads having a craic ..the same lads that will be required to step up to the plate when the call comes in for someone to do it for real ...we really are led by the donkeys .

No mate he’s not , he’s just pointing out the problem would appear to be the posts U made about using the ball out in the field ..

I’ll have a look see what is there ..?

Sad day if you leave mate , always look forward to your posts . Hardly in the al Capone league of crime ...someone looking for a pat on the back or doing a bit of bottom kissing ..

This was going to be my last day on the doe’s this year and my stalking pal asked if his son could come along , not a problem he’s a very competent shot with all calibre of rifle . Usual middle of the night start , well seems middle of the night , for a 5am start , no wind but a tidy frost we meet up same place as the other day with more or less the same scenario except we could see the deer in the top paddock before we went anywhere . I stayed put and sent my mate and his son back up the drive and into the farm yard where they could work through the empty building and come out above the

When you see the size of the scar it’s amazing it never got infected while it was healing ..the leg was lost right through the joint and she had worn a hard pad on it where she was walking on it ..She must have been in agony for weeks ..

Is down the shitter , just waiting for the final flush to wash it into the sewer ....

With mornings now starting in the middle of the night I was up at 4am and out twenty mins later for a meet up with my stalking pal to see if we could add a few more to the cull , a quick coffee and with what seemed a cunning plan we set about the morning ..We had met in the middle road of the estate and I was going to do the top part and he was doing the furthest wood and fields to the bottom which ment he drove down a few hundred yds more ,as I was unloading my kit the phone went , “ there are twenty odd in the back field “.....quick change of direction and I was back up the track to work my

What sort of antler you after mate . ? I’ve got a few bits of fallow kicking about , what size you looking for ..?
-
As above ....pure quality ..
-
I like to give them a quick wash down and leave them three or four hours to dry before putting them in the chiller if the weather is cool enough and there are no flies about ..I don’t put them away wet as it causes moisture problems in the coldroom ..I always hang when I gralloch which keeps everything pretty clean anyway ..

Yep enjoyed that jig , some good eating there for sure ..

How the fcuk did he only do six years for that the kiddies murder , the physiatrist report said there was nothing they could do with him and he would always be a dangerous threat yet they still let him out ...

Angus Sinclair , Scotland’s most notorious murderer and rapist has died ...if there was such a thing has hell he will be there in the company of the worst dregs the world has spawned ...long may he rot there .

I’ve finished on one of my places but I’ll carry on for another week or so at this place ..in all the hundreds of fallow I’ve shot I’ve never seen a doe carrying twins .. I think in all the years of stalking I’ve only ever seen one fallow doe with twins ..and even then I couldn’t be 100% certain they were both hers ..

Out early this morning with a stiff westerly wind I had only one way to work this permission , it was one of those mornings were the deer were in the places I thought they would be , anyone who stalks a lot will know that rarely happens , normally they turn out to be everywhere but we’re you think they will be .. From the start the dog was scenting them and it was literally minutes before we came up on a bunch of twenty odd tight against the wood in the lee of the wind , off the sticks at sixty yds all but one bolted across the field and stood looking for a minute or so , with no backstop

Yourve got to wonder if Ken’s lending a helping hand ....? ....
