I have been confined to barracks following the sudden transition from Summer (when was that then?) to Winter; Mother Nature has indeed forgotten Autumn or is it just me?
Anyhow, like many others in a similar catastrophic situation I have been watching hunting videos on the “tube” - mainly those relating to foxes. I have been bemused by the extent to which some chaps go to shoot a fox - from centrally-heated “chalets” often made from pallets (how terribly common dahling) to ATVs which have been accessorised to death and would pass as something Mad Max would be proud of.
Then of course there are those less fortunate who simply (aye right) walk and stalk - often carrying enough to do a very passable impression of Sherpa Tensing!
Sooo let’s fess up chaps - aside from your means of transport just getting to the venue and of course your sticks and rifle/sight of choice, do you travel light or are you weighed down by every “it really is the latest thing dahling” accessory? In my case I carry a mouth call - just in case my left hand stops working, my Iphone which doubles as a torch, a small penknife and of course my indispensable Axion thermal which shares the same neck cord as the mouth call. I seem to get quite a lot of foxes with my minimalist accoutrements and have never had a hernia - what about you lot?
You know what beckons….
