I normally start last week of October. Leaves are still very green , grass still growing strong , in fact looks like everything is still growing on all my permissions. Temperature down in Dorset tonight min 15 degrees absolutely crazy Quote Link to post

They'll cook well this time of year mate They'll still be a b*****d to skin but, if you half roast them then carve the meat off and cook it in a sauce, it'll be tasty and tender, especially the little one 2 Quote Link to post

C3PO 118 Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 (edited) Just returned from the estate and where I have had my feeder up for a couple of years. Haven't been shooting for a while so have been topping up the station with peanuts these past couple of weeks. The rate of depletion was 3/4 of the peanuts in the feeder going in six days. As I arrived, I spotted two on the feeder as I set up - they quickly disappeared. I set my hide up around 20 yards from the station and 'snipe' from a stationary position. The two I first saw came back within 20 minutes, the third after about an hour. But, in -2C temperatures, my feet were freezing up and so called it a day. The HW100KT performed flawlessly - and is dead accurate. Edited January 17 by C3PO 1 Quote Link to post
jeemes 4,481 Posted February 12 Author Report Share Posted February 12 Ive made a new natural hide in a place where I see Squirrels but not loads, its just a spinney really but we'll see. Ive been trapping all year elsewhere and had a steady flow aswell as some Mink, but no air rifle action. 3 Quote Link to post
