Must be a big dog living there judging by the size of the dog chew.

You did better than me! Sat freezing for three hours but they didn't turn up. Just heard a distant dog fox.

Well, been baiting for a few nights and last night I went with more bait at 19.00.
Charlie already in field when I got there but soon went as I put bait out.
He was back before I’d finished spreading the bait and watched me from 100 metres as I headed out the field. All this through Spotter.
Before I left the field I stood with my back to an old shippon and watched.
2 foxes (Looked like this years) came under a gate 25 metres to my left and came within 3 metres of me before they saw me, they promptly turned and went back under the gate and back into the field. They stopped as a pair about 50 is metres away and sat watching me.
I went through the fence and home.
Got all my **** together for sitting out tonight, including flask and hip flask.
Went out to load car at 17.30 and neither of two fobs would open the car!
Used the manual key that only opens the passenger door and with some grunting (‘cause I’m knackered) got across and inserted a fob….brilliant….but the mirrors didn’t unfold!
Couldn‘t risk getting stuck somewhere (Wifey at funeral in Guildford) so reluctantly abandoned the job, poured the coffee down the sink and got the whisky out.
Doh.
Ken.

Bloody hell Ken. Always something hey.
Hope you get sorted.
I just got in from a stroll up to my bait, it's a short walk from home, in the fresh snow.
Didn't need NV. Just took the rifle and binoculars . Just saw rabbits. Beautiful to be out.
To be honest I feel quite fatigued. Went bed early. Think I've been doing to much....
After some equipment re jigging (batteries suffering in low temps etc), back out tomorrow night, should have a good snow background on the area I need to be on, 1250+ ASL.
Bloody massive dog this time (3 smaller vixens in the last couple of weeks). Hopefully that’ll be it for a while but I do think there’s still a mature vixen about…I’ll try and get a pic tomorrow against something to give scale…
