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 ....? ....

Sitting here thinking I can’t come up with one excuse that sounds anywhere near plausible why I’d be driving round with 465 large in cash in the back of the van ....given it’s not an armoured truck and there are two of us in uniform..?

If that was my old lady I’d have to learn to sleep with at least one eye open , that’s after I hid anything sharp or heavy ..!

They went the extra mile to help there , good effort .

Same as Mackay , thought he was long before the documentary..

It’s getting like death watch on here ...

Whatever they are that seems a serious amount of weight for two dogs to pull ..

It was mosque or pushing red hot needles behind my finger nails , the red hot needles edged it !

Congratulations, enjoy ..?

Here’s a few more from when I remember to take a picture .

Less than a week ago I counted over three hundred deer , mainly groups of 40 or 50 in less than a square mile ..I’ve taken over sixty on one of my places and haven’t made a dent in the population ..no one on the surrounding land is culling and one lady landowner is complete anti shooting ..Yesterday I had a meeting with the next door property owner and after ten years of trying he has at last given me permission to walk across his land ( not to shoot ) to get at one of our fields where normally the deer have us spotted from three hundred yards away ..Bit late in the season but will be a big
