Heres my rabble!! cocker bitch, nearly two, started off doggin in and shes doing really well! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I take it you wont be dismayed about this 'non target' ,.....cause its also on your 'hit' list ? (might possibly, have been helping you with the 'tree rats', though ?) Haha! No definitely not worried! The entrance holes have been narrowed so nobody can say I haven’t mitigated for no target species but this definitely isn’t a non target species!

Interesting set. Can i ask, how is the trap stabilised with this set up? Not sure if you can see from this photo Ive zoomed in on but where the two wooden supports go across to keep the trap lined up I have knocked a nail into each corner to hold the trap up, nothing technical but it does the job!

At our shoot I have fenns in tunnels like the above photo to catch squirrels going to and from feeders and have great success with them set like this. I was checking them yesterday whilst feeding and noticed that I had caught a stoat in one. Also it was caught facing downwards which would suggest it had been trapped whilst coming down from the tree... has anyone experienced anything similar before...? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The answer there is then don’t let the feeders get empty! I’ve just read the ingredients in the poult pellets we use and they have traces of it in them...
-
Alright Rob, I’ve done a similar thing. Put two feeders next to each other in each pen,one with the stuff in one without to see which one goes down quicker

We have Black (Melanistic) fallow where I live in Northamptonshire and they have the same size palmate antlers as any other fallow colouration I have seen.
-
Thanks very much for your thoughts chaps, some good points. Daily dogging in seems to be doing the job. I’m still feeding pellets in the pens and wheat outside the pens and it really seems to be bringing the birds back in well in the evenings.
-
Funny, that's what I heard as well There are a handful of reds around Northamptonshire which have escaped from farms. I saw a massive red stag last winter in Towcester. We also have some fallow near us two, I took a buck two weeks ago, the bugger had realised that if he tipped our top hats off our feeders he had an endless supply of wheat! I even recorded him doing it!
-
It doesn't actually say what's in it, it says natural spices but I can defo smell aniseed in it! We don't have huge problems with wondering birds but It's more that the shoot next door puts down way less birds than us and then puts cover crops and feeders all along ours and their boundary to attract our birds so my thought was to perhaps try a bit of this stuff mixed in the wheat to entice them back. Obviously regular dogging in is a big thing but thought this may also help...

Just wondering on people's opinions on this bird puller, I brought a bucket at the Midland to try it. Have any of you used it and if so what do you think of it? Cheers Jarvis Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Haha! Me and my old man came to the conclusion whilst driving home that going every year is not necessary! You know you've been too many times when you don't need the site map and unless you want a Realtree jacket (which I think 90% of stands were selling) perhaps going every 3 years is enough...
-
I think they are all the same really hence why I normally just go to the Midland now. I think it's more of a working mans show than 'The Game Fair' and others with terriers and lurchers rather than hot tubs and summer houses, providing you can dodge the gypos!
-
Anyone off to the Midland this year? I'm thinking of having a look round on Sunday, looks like the weather is going to be good as well.

It's my own little piece of heaven, I think my missus thinks it's her's too the amount of time I spend up there out of her hair so she can watch every bloody soap on the box!!!

2 down Drove round after with a mate with his thermal and saw 5 more! Out again tonight! All fields cut on the shoot so all clear. Just the cover crops for hiding places! Nice one, what thermal has he got ? I should be getting mine next week hopefully He's got a pulsar Helton xq50f. Bloody great bit of kit! Works so well having a thermal spotter and NV scope I think.

In position ready and waiting! Hopefully the foxes play their part tonight! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Alright Rob, I got some Englishmen this year and hatched them out. Got them penned up at the shoot at the moment, my plan is to tear some each year and release them, not to shoot but just to encourage them to breed on the wild. Big fine for the guns if they shoot any If I get some buy in some fertile eggs next year I'll let you know and I might be able to get you some if you like? I've only got 24 but if I release those sort of numbers each year I should get a thriving population

My mate has an armasite X-LR-M Illuminator, he has it on his drone x15 and it's great and I've got one on my n750a and it's great in that as well. They are £156 so cheaper than a NM800 as well.
-
Dropped a few foxes now with the pulsar and getting on really well with it! Got it mounted on my Remington 700 vssf .22-250 Decided against a NV spotter and going to save up for a thermal! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the advice, I looked on a couple of old threads and Ian b looks the chap to talk to!
-
Hi mate, yer not bad thanks. Hope your good! Pleased to hear the ferrets are doing well. I'll look into them a bit more, the only reason I was looking more st the pulsar model is because you can record on it and only £100 more expensive... not sure if I'll go to Hatfield as may be working but defo going to the midlands.
