ditchman Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Everywhere i shoot on the farm i have to drive there using the landrover.....all the fields have CSMS around them , but i dont like using them as its a bit naughty....i tell him this but he keeps on saying "get up there boy after them buds"..........so i use them then go and park the landrover couple of hundred yards away...which is now a difficult walk for me.......... I pulled up on the field this morning to have a jaw with him whilst ploughing..........and he says..."ive got something for you".......i says "i havnt got thro the last lot of cartridges yet".........he says "noo......i got something that will make it easier setting up the hide and getting around the farm....i bought a Quad bike for you !!...so where the birds are you can set up and put your blind around the bike and get stuck in.."...........well its not a new one but a good second hand one that will do the job spot on........... ......what a nice thing to do eh !....there are some nice thoughtful people about..

Mightymariner Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 .....at the opposite end of the scale, one estate I shoot on, and have for years, won't give us keys for gates which would allow access to various parts of the land, and have now said we can't drive on any stubbles.
