First cut

[lllluke1 329]

First silage cut was day before yesterday so been out the last couple of nights having a look. I saw a fox mousing in the fresh cut grass the first night but couldn't get a shot. Tonight though the same vixen popped out the hedge 100 yards in front of me and a 50g .223 dropped her on the spot.

Nice work Luke, we are a bit behind here, I’d say it will be the end of the month before we see the first cut

I'm cutting today. I'd rather wait as I know there are grey partridge chicks about but boss orders. I'll just have to drive slowly!!

Will be out again for the next few nights and mornings having a look for them.  They should be of an age to look after themselves by now mind

The cubs in the fields round my way are well on and straying a fair distance, been watching them hunting mice and the farm yards are holding a few that are tackling the rats

We must be way behind here in the West Country as I’ve not seen one more than a foot long .We usually see cubs out and about now but nothing yet .

I've not seen any roadkill cubs  in dorset yet but obviously not traveling so much, but plenty of deer casualties.

Had a look around the cut fields last night and only saw one , which disappeared through a hedge and despite my best squeaks didn’t reappear. 
        The night wasn’t in vain as I managed to locate a litter of cubs . I nearly ran over a little cub as it ran in front of the truck up the wheeling’s on the hedge line. I also saw another cub in a different area which gives me a good indication where to set my traps.
