  1. Wouldn’t want that one after the peanuts in your flip top 😬.
  2. ‘Twas but a scratch, what again Nev, your gonna have to get the big stuff out.
  3. Nothing showed today, mind you it was blistering hot all day, tomorrow? We shall see.
  4. I shoot a golf course and the folk l meet are all very polite and interested in what l’m doing around the course and l don’t think l’ve ever had any detrimental comment’s from anyone. On a plus point anyone l meet is always handed a plethora of balls that l collect during my session at the course as l’m in places they don’t get to, the only downside l find is that at dawn or dusk your set up in a particular area when “TONK” and a ball sail’s past and has ruined your shooting for the next hour. l have my hours worked out when the course is supposedly shut, but golfers have their own itinerary.
  5. Well l’m sitting in the garden with a nice cold tonic, wife , son and daughter in law, granddaughter and a stack of xxxxxxx squirrels running up and down the trees, fence, garden, oohs and ahh’s, grandad squirrels look. 😤😤😤😤
  6. Sat at a new permission this afternoon bunny bashing when l saw a little ginger face in the hedgerow at 100 yd’s away, it was looking all around and l tried squeaking it in to no avail for about 10 minutes and then it disappeared. Looks like this permission could prove very fruitful in the coming weeks 😋
  7. 3 this afternoon with the .22lr on a permission l managed to attain after 10 months of trying, owner wouldn’t allow me to shoot stating he already had people shooting and ferreting the site. Met him on Saturday while on my way to another permission and pointed out that every time I pass his property it is alive with rabbits, after the usual conversation he looked at me and said “l’m disappointed in the people l’ve entrusted, you can shoot it”, which part says l, “all of it”, we shook hands on it and went our separate ways. So l reckon on about 50/60 acres added to my shooting just by being in the right place at the right time. Total 1168.
  8. This afternoon l went to a new permission that l attained on Saturday for some bunny bashing, l was set up in a nicely shaded area behind some elder and hazel trees when to my surprise Tuffty hops down about 3yd’s away with a face full of nuts. Quickly dialled the scope back as far as possible on sf and ocular and sent 42gr into the back of his head, to say he didn’t shake, rattle or roll would be an understatement, first one from this site after about 10 minutes, more to come ?, l hope so. Total 1415.
  9. Is it the same with anything “expensive” that is “recommend” an annual service. ln the early 90’s l had the pleasure of buying an Omega Speedmaster and it was worn day in day out from the very first, but if you wanted to be perfectly on time you’d have bought a Casio with a nice plastic strap for not a lot. Now said watch is a sealed unit, dust and water cannot get in and it had nothing done to it until l retired in 2013, it was dented and bruised and was sent in for a service/refurb, and for the costly sum of £550 it was returned , shiny, with a new bezel, glass and crown and is still the lousiest time keeper you could want on your wrist. Would l get rid of it , never, but it now only comes out on high days and holidays, would l have it serviced again, nope not in my lifetime. So l cannot see why someone would want have a shotgun serviced annually just because they have used it but have incurred no problems. Make me wrong 🙄
  10. Not as many as Fuji had, now that was seriously ott.
  11. Not surprised, bloke got a proper hammering from some on here.
  12. Yep defo need photos, see if you can out do Viking 🤔
  13. Tilia l believe. But not too big to stand correcting. .
  14. Would that be the same Natural England who if l recall cancelled all shooting within the country at the drop of a hat with “out evidence”.
  15. Thanks for that, been a long wait for the verdict. Will not be putting any of those into the food chain, only the fox bin.
  16. And show they did, one sat on top of my Bee House which is attached to a large tree, so an excellent back stop, TX did it’s job effectively as you’d expect. And tonight a trip to the golf course secured another one, he was canopy hopping when l spotted him so l walk past and settle down to wait, sure enough five minutes later he’s down on the ground scratching about and met 17gr of Hornardy’s finest from 60 yd’s. Total 1404.
  17. Those 3 that ran along the fence this morning are now two, one dropped in for some wheat the birds had kicked off the feeder and got himself nailed. Will see if the other 2 show in the morning. Total 1400.
  18. Making a cuppa earlier when one came over the fence and had the curtesy to wait while l got the TX out of the cupboard, slide open the patio door and nailed him as he looked up. 1397. 3 more just ran along the fence to my neighbors hazel trees, look like a busy day 🤗
  19. Glad we sorted that one out. Take care and enjoy watching another good game at the weekend. Any predictions 🤔
