sako751sg Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Roe rut finished but been superb with 14 grassed and most action for many years. Was slowish but then had a weekend of thunder and lightening and it was constant from then. Plenty red showing and have had a couple and with the rut just around the corner looking forward to it. Couple of gigs with the old fella on the pigeons and rabbits and exceptional sport and crack.Really need to get on top of the rabbits and had an all nighter last week with 230 in the back but would have had 300+ but plenty were kicking back underground.

7daysinaweek Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Fantastic picks of the deer, my favourite ,the one of good old Hartley hare. Can see the damage that them bunters have done but it appears that you are getting on top of them with bags like that. atb 7diaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was out in the thunder and lightening for around 6 hours and very interesting to see it didnt make any difference to the roe.Always thought they would take cover in it but no fear at all from it. The wee dog was done in by the time we left.Had planned on a pic with them all set out but the heavens opened when we were picking up but the wee fella was still half way down the holes trying to pull them out.Be lost without him. 13 hours ago, telf said: Cracking pics again sir Ta fella. 13 hours ago, marsh man said: Brilliant photos , THANKS for sharing .

Had seen him most mornings for a month or two and stalked into him one morning he was lying down.Got within 30ish metres,got a pic,and then retreated.When i want to shoot him i probably wont get within 300m! 12 hours ago, 7daysinaweek said: Fantastic picks of the deer, my favourite ,the one of good old Hartley hare.

Very lucky to have big numbers of hares and glad of it.Didnt shoot one for probably 20ish years but now take the odd one or two if someone wants for the pot. Rabbit damage is immense and be a while before we get on top of them. 4 hours ago, oowee said: A lot of work there and some very nice animals. ? A lot of work but outweighed by the pleasure im sure.Good companys a bonus too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumpy22 Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 Top pics as usual. There will be more of them when that new night vision arrives?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOXHUNTER1 Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 As already said Dave , pics are brilliant as per usual. Roe ring and lightning are great. Some really nice bucks up there . I have seen some huge rabbit warrens in my time but that one takes some beating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie-fox Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 Some crackers there Dave.. im out this Thursday try get another buck, seems that a few older bucks come back to my land after the rut, I think the fitter ones push them out for a week or two..also last years kids seem to appear after being pushed away by the doe’s... good doo on the rabbits, I’ve just started seeing them on one area up here so looks like they are re-appearing after VHD wiped them out for 3 years...

Heres hoping we make a dent in them,seeing them in the dark through the thermal gives a real idea of numbers and there were way too much. 6 hours ago, FOXHUNTER1 said: As already said Dave , pics are brilliant as per usual.

Had a couple of real old beasts on Sunday morning so should be about finished on them now.Warren is some size right enough. 2 hours ago, Archie-fox said: Some crackers there Dave.. im out this Thursday try get another buck, seems that a few older bucks come back to my land after the rut, I think the fitter ones push them out for a week or two..also last years kids seem to appear after being pushed away by the doe’s... good doo on the rabbits, I’ve just started seeing them on one area up here so looks like they are re-appearing after VHD wiped them out for 3 years... Ta Rich. I had 2 old lads Sunday morning that had reapeared after a good while so should be finished. Most of our places are seeing an improvement but will take a while to get to big numbers.This place is the exception and has by and large escaped disease free.

Mice! Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 Some brilliant photos there, i don't think i would have fancied trying to ferret those warrens, they are massive. Not seeing any rabbits near me, normally a few about but nothing for a while now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of bits with 3-6 holes out in the parks and would be ideal for the ferrets but as you say the main warrens would be a pure mare. The lad from next door has said its fine to do his wee bit too which had over 250 in the one wee field so will get the NV set up and hopefully have a night next week.
