DSC1

Along with Stephen and Martyn, I am off to Somerset to take the DSC1 course tomorrow morning. We have spent the last few weeks swatting away on the course notes etc plus countless attempts on the Internet with the questions.
Last Saturday the rifles were checked for Zero plus some practice on the targets at the range's we will be tested on.
Looking forward to the course albeit with slight nerve's.
Fingers crossed eh!

Hopefully will be able to take a few pics to post early next week.

A few of the guns plus Pip got together Saturday morning to get the remaining hoppers out on the farm. We have another 2-3 to get out when the late cover crops get growing, but the birds will have plenty to eat now along with the natural food out there.

After the work was done it was play time with a box of clays, forgot how enjoyable they can be.

Young & Mature

Last nights end result was one from this years batch plus a decent sized dog fox for Stephen which christened the new Steyr 25.06.

Manure

Just shows what a load of bull shit can do.....this years cover crop is a vast improvement on last years. The farm muck spread the game strip ground earlier in the summer and this is what can be produced, plus it is still growing. Should be a good drive this season.

Growing Up

Just a couple of pics showing the birds at one of the pens. It has so far been a good couple of months with only a handful of dead poults seen.

Slighty Rare!

Just watch

A bit mangled

Last nights end result from lamping was one dog fox and a small vixen. Used the .243 with the 55 grain ballistic tip bullets and as you can see they do what they say on the tin. Crossed fingers there could be third one dead which will be on a ploughed field if it was hit. Will have a look in day light Saturday morning for the body, it was a long shot so will be pleased if it did strike.
