A day in the woods.


Recommended Posts

Took my Pedersoli 10g out today.

Loading it with 1&1/4oz of #5 shot it downed a fast departing pheasant. I passed on the hens.

A couple of crows and squirrels fell to it alas I missed a few crows and pigeon.

I observed a male goshawk and a peregrin working the pigeons on maize stubble which was interesting.  Also found small fallow slots! That's new for here!

Made a fire and had a rest.

Looks a skanky specimen

They get dropped on this farm regularly.  As soon as I get a message "the quad was up here last night" I go get it!

Clearly a town fox. It never even looked at me squealing but was slowly making for the farm yard to scavenge. Its cruel really in my opinion.

Good shooting. Crows on the maize SD ?

Yes, only just been harvested.  Its a special harvester that thrashes the kernels out of the cob.

Have family duties so had to come away. They were still coming in ?.

Then the pigeons started to arrive ?‍♂️

I'll go back tomorrow morning and afternoon if all goes well.
