Having met Jon ( Rick O Shea ) a few times it was great to be offered the chance to get out and hopefully take my first Boar with him..
Sorry this will be so brief as if i dont hurry up ill be late to meet him for a look at the fallow and boar this afternoon and evening.
Jon having had the call from the farmer dropped the offer on me with just a few hours notice. So i was packed and in the truck about ten minutes later..
The grounds are absolutely amazing or as Wadas might say "Very Deerish"..
Anyway Jon said they might be on the barrel as we aproach and sure enough they were kicking the barrel round having a good old feed..
Pitch black Jon lit them up with the lamp and they just wouldnt seperate enough for the shot..
Off with the lamp and on with the thumping heart..
Anyway we moved in a bit closer and on with the lamp i took the one broadside and offering the best shot.
It dropped on the spot with the others making a speedy exit..
After many hand shakes and a lot of smiling we were up the high seat for a few hours to see if anymore might pay the barrel a visit.
Many, many thanks to Jon who is an absolute gentleman and great fun to be out with..
and who will be also annoyed if im late..
Thanks again Jon and see you in an hour..
