alex is an agent. me i have made a very good friend who has many scandanavian contacts and he has to take so many days to hunt personally, the surplus he and his friends can't fill are mine to sell for him. My commission is i get to hunt as well so everyones a winner. he like many are mad keen hunters and he will send me danish clients to shoot roe buck so its a mutual thing and all the hunting is a know thing rther then an agent just often sends clients somewhere without always checking the ground.

back now uploading the photos now be a while. great time was had and everyone scored kills. we saw lots of things including the temp go to below minus 20c one night and none of us could sit later then midnight, Everything froze up scopes, muzzles and cartridges in magazines and breath on anything it touched including ear flaps of hats. Even the snow on our boots froze our boots into the shape we were sat in and the trouser bottoms froze to our boots which made moving very hard when it came to trekking out for our lifts. bag was 7 fallow deer (no medals but a gold was seen on leaving a box and no shot was taken) 1 missed running. 3 foxes 2 wild boar other animals seen were Moose (non shootable as what we could shoot was strict and fines were heavy) eagles, pine martin, roe, ravens and waxwings. Right here goes, don't have all the kills as some were shot a night under the moon and were skinned and lardered immediatly to stop them freezing with their skins on. the boys who shot them may post or send me them when they recover. the first night in the lodge, dark when we got there. the danes set off hunting in the morning got everywhere (nearly) with just chains on a 2 wheel drive. the boys loading into the car on first morning a mild -5 the morning view from my stand where both pigs and a fallow were shot later in the trip sadly not by me. the wood looked like this on the walk out. breakfast in the lodge day 1 the lodge from outside my 2 fallow shot from sticks with an audience 156m and 242m there is i believe some video of this. sortly after darrens rifle cracked and he had his first fallow. next morning the veiw from my moose stand. i never sw one but trevor who was 400ms from me had a 2 year old cow (not takable) within 100ms and videoed it the night blinds were super looking 30ms into the feeding station. inside the boys topping up the feed. trevors pricket i have the video of this one. the drive to the other ground day 2 after the minus 21 temps the telephone lines steves perfectly shot fallow doe which ran 100ms into the trees in the late evening which we found the next day by watching the ravens and 2 massive eagles. it was just grallochable and hadn't quite froze solid... the ravens had had its eyes. darren coming back to the car. my feed station with roe at it. where i later shot 3 foxes for 2 shots under the late evening sky (starlight almost). sorry no photos as it was very late and dark when we left and my battery had died on the phone. when i met daz the long drive back the motorway

After seeing alot of deer this morning, mainly bucks. We happened on a group x2 bucks x2 does. A long slow stalk on very frosty ground found us belly crawling the last 40m's to get into a shooting position. The original doe we were stalking had dropped down the bank and was only showing us the top of her back. So it left us the follower. 2 shots later and 2 clean misses left us wondering about the zero. We let the totally un-nerved deer walk in and then stalked back out. we checked the rifles zero(it was bang on) and decided to come back for another go in the evening. We settled in early and got comfy as the temp dropped. The sun had just dropped below the tree line when the mature doe appeared. My client settled himself and steadied his breathing, (something he had not done earlier), he also applied better posture which I had shown him in practice. Think she heard the saftey click off but that just made her stand better. His shot was bang on this time and he shot the top off her heart dropping her on the spot.

Back to basics tonight, no rangefinder scope set to 160m's and a sand bag on the bonnet of grahams (keeper) landrover. After riding about for a while and seeing 2 foxes which wouldn't sqeak in or stand luck changed a fox squat down in ploughing. all i could see in the zeiss under the red filter were its eyes. i whispered to take off the filter, he did and wallop a shot between the eyes at about 160m's off the wing mirror. No exit found, then another in the "park" going mad sniffing around and totally disinterested with the caller. Have you a bitch in heat i said knowing it was where he walks the dogs. Yes he replied. You draw your own conclusions. Anyhows a gentle sqeak on his hand got the foxes attention. It came along the wrong side of a post and rail fence finally coming through it at about 200m's. Close enough as i was on the bag now over the bonnet. I sqeazed the trigger and down it went without moving an inch a very big dog again about 20lb (he'll weigh it tomorrow).

Me and scraggie arranged tonight ater the pheasant shoot yesterday. If the wind fell enough we would go to the small farm where I had shot a fox on monday morning while out stalking, seeing another 1 and hearing 2 barking. Well I rang him tonight and we agreed the wind had subsided enough to give it a go. We arrived behind the orchard and climbed upto the top of the bale stack to start the caller, Scraggie panned the beam and caught fox immediatly about 100m's it took off and ran like the clappers, I could see in the scope while I followed it, a gap in the hedge, will it stop before going through? It did and never got any further 1 down at 199m's with a very quick shot. We set the caller going and about 800m's away a pair of eyes looked. Yes another fox and it was coming. It stopped and lost interest at about 250m Scraggie changed the tune and in it came running straight at us. Turn it off I whispered, he did and the fox soon stopped puzzled. Bang it went down 163m's We had only been there 10mins. We called for another hour and had a drive around nothing else showing.
