Popped out this evening to try and open my buck account. Stalked the copse where I know an old buck frequents as I've seen him 3 times now. As I skirted the copse I spotted a doe coming through the cover with the buck in tow . I actually had the crosshairs on his neck but a farmer appeared in the next field on his quad checking the sheep and was directly behind the buck , so no shot on , the deer spooked and off they ran. As light was fading I spotted a young buck but he was inside a thick bush, against better judgement I had a shot as if you don't try you don't t get. Anyway my bullet struck a branch and off ran roebuck unscathed for another day. No luck at the moment. 

If you don’t have a go, you don’t know I’m off up to the sheep farm where we took that buck last season, see what’s about and show my face

So I had a walk around the sheep farm as the farmer said the pigeons were hammering a small field of oilseed rape ( I didn’t have the heart to tell him that if they are still on the rape your crop is sh*t ) anyway it doesn’t look good at all, set myself up under a tree and they did the usual, one bang and they all buggered off. I managed 3 for 9 shots ( I tell a lie, it was 8 shots,I shot a bolting rabbit as well ) which is good for me with a shotgun, plenty of deer slots and a bit of fox poop so I think I’ll have an early evening walk out over the weekend

It looks like it’s gone well, plenty of chubby lambs about, he’s got a field full of black lambs I meant to ask him what’s gone on there, normally he only has the odd one mixed in with the rest

I was wondering if they had been segregated away from the white lambs

Safest option, otherwise they'll start cussing the Shepherd & walking with some bad ass swagger!!

I left me flask on the moor the other night when I went to pick up a fox and forgot it... so went back for it next day and took the 204 just in case there were any daytime Cubs about and there were two roe in the field where I’d left me flask

Dont understand why you dont always take the .243 when theres a chance of roe. I would only take the .223 lamping.

Was planning to just sit out overlooking the lambing fields at the back of the farm, but decided to go for a walk about while it was still light
