Another go at the egg units/cricket pitch/ stables for the rabbits, bumped into the owner when I got there and he said go wherever you want, which was nice of him, I got the rifle out the back and realised I’d left my sticks up at the shoot last night ( bugger ) so free hand it would have to be, now I can’t remember the last time I shot without sticks and it showed. I still accounted for 19 in a little over an hour, missing a good half dozen, this place is a ferreting lads dream, every hedge back is just one big set, with access to both sides, when I was leaving I bumped into another lad who asked if I could clear the rabbits up at a championship football clubs training ground, so I gave him my number and with a bit of luck something will come of it 

She's gonna be mad at you for stinking the boot out!

She’s just went mad she wanted some disposable gloves for cleaning her rabbits out and thought they were in my car, ( I took them out last night and put them in the garage) she went and opened the boot and was greeted by a pile of one of her favourite fluffy tw*ts

I’ve just got in the car to take a few for baiting up, I’d say it was fragrant with a hint of death

I forgot about a couple of squirrels in the back of my truck for about four days in summer. When I opened the door

They had seeped their juices out and glued themselves to the mat. Had to leave the windows down for a bit after that

Many years ago when I first started keeping my own sheep, had a ewe that did what sheep do. Mid summer & been there a day. I rented ground in a school near Burton, couldn't leave it there but knackers couldn't collect for couple days. So I borrow mates combo van and lump her in back. Driving with windows wide open. At some point to bakewell the bag slipped off her head and she oozed juice everywhere. Wouldn't be so bad but he'd had inside of van boarded out few weeks earlier! The smell went after couple days but he never shifted that stain!!

I used to love it when I was a kid, even more so if I’d hunted it myself and the old man did a rabbit stew with it, but after years of gutting hundreds of the things I can’t stomach it now, even when cooked I still get the aroma of innards

[Stavross 15,251]

Took my hoppers from last night to the shoot and set up a bait station on the ride at the piggeries, all the crop is getting a bit long now for calling them into the fields and I know there’s still one or two about  over here, with a bit of luck these will end up been the last supper

When my lass’s brother was a lad an old keeper took him under his wing, he was only young and put himself forward for a night foxing!

his hands were that cold that the keeper shot two rabbits for him to stick his hands in and keep warm... that’s Yorkshire hospitality for you

[Stavross 15,251]

When a mate of mine takes the dog out and his hands are cold he waits for it to have a sh*t, puts it in two separate bags and put them in his pockets, the dirty bast*rd, no idea why he can’t buy himself a pair of gloves
