Back up at the shoot

They ain't for the owls! Fox's.

For owls you draw two big eyes on your arse and bare it when ever you think an owl is present. Works every time.

A wander around the shoot this evening for no other reason than I wanted to go for a walk, obviously I had a rifle over my shoulder and tonight’s rifle of choice was the .17. It was 50/50 if I was going to get soaked as it seemed to be raining all around me but it was warm and I thought I’m waterproof so set off, passing the beast field next to the farm I shot a couple of rabbits that would no doubt be heading over to the garden to finish off the row of peas they have had a good go at, heading over the far side of the shoot I stopped when I noticed some movement in the bracken, rifle up on the sticks and expecting a cub or two but no, just a couple of pigs play fighting. So after watching them for a minute or so I carried on to the spring barley where I could see a pair of ears poking out the crop, as I approached the fallow doe stud up followed by a stunning looking fawn, no more than a week or two old, I watched them for a good 15 minutes before she guided her young back to the safety of the forestry, it was worth the 4 mile walk just to see them, a very pleasant couple of hours out

Had a recce around the shoot last night but couldn't stand still for more than a few seconds as the midges were very hungry Watched 2 barn owls hunting which was great and saw around a dozen roe including 2 kids.

I’ve had the first batch last week , I was going to be having the second load Monday, but we’ve put them off till Friday because of this rain . The first lot are good . But I’m keeping my eye on them , this wet and warm can be a breeding ground for illness . So far so good , but I’m touching wood . If I can get them past this wet and into some dry weather next week without medication, I think I will be out of the woods as I will lift the wire then .
