Worth been out just for the photo , that’s a cracker

Bit dark.....

I had an ace afternoon and evening. 

First I went squirrel shooting on maize stubble. Not many there but got two. Enjoyed watching some stonechats. The local wild goshawks have got the pheasants keeping a low profile! And there are less crows and magpies!

I used them as bait by dragging them across a field where I got busted the night before by Charlie.

Sat and waited but it never appeared but Jess's nose was going nuts at one point, there was one about for sure.

Anyway it never showed so I went back to the car but a dog fox started barking so went lamping. Never saw it on this hilly land but bumped into the one I missed with the shotgun a couple of weeks ago and yep, it's truly educated now....it even went back to the spot where I missed it to give me as it were....the finger!

Didn't hear the fallow buck but found slots.

I called on two other farms. Just saw another fox but no dice. 

Saw a barn owl and it was making their strange noises they do.

Cracking time but my foot is wrecking this morning.

I was out Friday night and it was literally like daylight with the full moon . Saw loads of wildlife , but no shooting. Great to be out though.

Went up the moor last night with the intention of banging a buck and possibly a fox after but it wasn’t to be… asked my mate if he’d had an anthrax spill as never saw a single thing.. not even a rat around the pigs!
