New Forest Bath Time

If it's freezing, smelly and full of mud then that's an open invitation for the dogs. If it was warm and clean then not a chance without a struggle......

White Fallow New Forest

Out on a long walk with the dogs today and spooked a herd of fallow between 20 and 30. Probably would not of seen them at all if not for the white doe which you can just make out on the vid.

More from the 12th Dec.

16 birds plus two ducks, one pigeon, one partridge and a tree rat (Stephen's best shot of the day, and he took two cartridges to do the job). Plus Kevin displaying a rather dead black cock bird called Sweep, he was my friend and will be deeply missed although the £50 fine will lessen my mourning ha ha.

A big thanks to the beaters who work their socks off to get the birds over the guns, cheers guys.

12th December Shoot

Apart from the very slow start to the day at Worthy Park, due to the lack of birds - promise they are there somewhere on the shoot, another shoot day at the farm enjoyed by all attended. Our mid morning feed was supplied by Julie, partner of Smudge. There was plenty to go around with hot bacon, sausages, onions and mushrooms with even a bottle of ketchup before it went missing, last seen in Tristan's hands, which cannot be denied as per the photographic evidence......lol!

Apologies

Anyone that has logged on recently to read any fox lamping reports may I apologise now for the lack of any edits. Unfortunately when ever we have planned to go the weather has transpired to act against us. It has either rained or the moon has flooded the fields with too much light, which Mr Reynard does not like.
Prime example is tonight, from earlier weather forecasts Thursday looked good to go with ample cloud cover to blot out the moon, the day arrives and where is the bloody cloud, it's buggered off elsewhere. This is very frustrating as the fox's should be in mid mating season and moving around the fields a bit more than usual.
Our time will come no doubt so in the mean time another night sat in front of the goggle box.
Effing weather!
