Ohhhhhh yes stav 

I’ve not been out for a few weeks , but Saturday nite will be a long haul 

vixen on heat 70 yards from the truck

David, if you are using "vixen in heat" i am assuming that you are using a foxpro or some other electronic caller.

Which means you are a second rate hunter according to some sources.

However if you have managed to master "vixen on heat" and "Dog fox territory" by sucking and blowing air through your arse cheeks you may be upgraded to hunter first class!

What a challenge tonight........windy and lamp shy rabbits but God loves a tryer I squelched around the soaking fields in search of conies . Not too bad considering the conditions but the rabbits are very shy now as it gets poached all the time. Think that's my last visit on these ones , the rest are breeding stock.

It's an old quarry full of Rudd. Not sure how deep it is but still able to feed the ducks round the edges.

I’d be fishing it during the day and picking off rabbits with the impact!
nice looking spot

I had not been shooting this place for long and it had a cracking pool and it was stuffed with ducks.

It had trees around it and I thought I would make a blind and wait for them to come in.

Had teal and mallard. A bag full with my air rifle then one day I was about in thick fog and approaching the pool when up went a whistle and the shooting started!

I never knew a shoot had the pool and feeding the duck.

Oops.

Contrary to what Hollywood will have you believe, being a §hit shovelling shepherd isn't all glamour!

At certain times of the year working in a nice warm factory has its benefits. 

Free coffee Friday and not freezing your tits off comes to mind

It’s been bitter today over this way, I was all set for a bit of a walk out at the sheep farm, but sod it I’m staying in, I might even let her put the heating on
