Good dry(ish) night last night
First call was to a farm where 2 lambs went missing from the shed over the weekend
Old dog fox shot there and nothing else seen,left him for farmer and when he got up this morning I had a call like the man had won the lotto
Bout a mile up the road into another yard and called in 4 on one stand over 1/2 hour,shot 3 dogs from them
Tried a few other spots and 2 vixens from them

Good going there mate Always nice when the farmers are at least grateful for the hard work we put in.

Well it was damp , grey and misty but glad to be out . No foxes seen but I trimmed 10 hares up off the crops ....loads about.

8, 9 & 10 - accompanied by the main man tonight, he will infact retrieve a fox!

Threaded the needle on number 1, she wouldn't break cover. Other two were pretty straightforward.

Mist and drizzle, but got the job done

(I'm not shooting them with TTSX as my scope profile suggests.... that home load and the factory VMAX I use for foxes happily have the same POI)

Out last night, but only to collect a nice big bag of lamb from farmer!
Chops, leg and shoulder joints, and a bonus cut of loin. I offer each time but he will not accept penny-one for it. Half a carcass roughly, wonder how much that would cost at the butchers?
Very grateful as always.
My sore ribcage is less painful now, after my motorbike tumble, week off next week so hoping rain abates: I need to get back out! Lambing is upon us at a couple of perms.

Top drawer I dont think you would get much change out of £150 at the butchers ...cant beat a bit of gratitude (and tasty lamb).

I keep telling the one farmer Im going to shoot a load of his lambs for the freezer...he said "crack on"

Its getting silly now, even walking across fields leaves a mess!

 

[finnbear270]

I'm actually grateful for todays rain! I just finished jet washing the Lightweight, shovelled all the drained off crap into the barrow & the rain has started to clear away any remaining fines off the road.

Going down slopes in fields adds a bit of excitement at the mo,,,slippery as hell on a lot of my ground.

Saturday is meant to be sunny

 

[Smellydog]

Think I have a chance to get out tonight.

First time ever ive brought in every single animal on the farm, bit of a luxury & squeezing odds & sods together. Cattle, in lamb, few remaining stragglers fat lambs, replacement ewe lambs, tups, culls, the lot are in on straw & silage.

I can understand why! If brother had space for 2.5k sheep I'm sure he'd do the same
Cattle all housed!

Even feeding out with the snacker feeder is making a mess! Thankfully theres really good stone tracks throughout the farm, made by Italian prisoners of war way back when, drained many of the fields too with clay pipes (fun fact!).

Tracks make for good spots for ring feeders and also great for lazy foxing from the truck although I always shoot more with boots on the ground!

Sheep are happy enough, nothing too tender up in the hills! But they look shite, covered in mud etc

Can you tell why I chose to pursue farriery??
