Hardy Souls


10 pheasants, one partridge and one pigeon was our total today on the farm shoot. The attendance was rather shattered due to the early morning snow fall which curtailed the numbers of beaters. Luckily Jim and Vicki with Flash the wonder Cocker were able to travel and assisted by Shelly got a few birds up mostly over the bird magnet Keith who accounted for 70% of the pheasants. Where ever I placed Keith in the gun line birds followed.....must be the Lynx aftershave.
No matter the size of the bag we all had a good day, and that's what is all about. Great company. Look, even I'm smiling in the pic and I didn't shoot a feather.

Doe cull

After not shooting any four legged beasts for a couple of months due to taking out clients etc after Wednesday's big boy fox I grassed this adult Roe doe this morning. Dropped on the spot from approx 200 yards. Aimed just slightly below the top and into the engine room went the 308 123 grain Sako bullet.

RED MIST

Watch for the red mist.

Monster Fox




This dog fox must of found a supply of steroids near Kings Worthy, doesn't look too large in the picture with me, but the one in the deer tray portrays his size. He even merited having his tail stripped for a trophy.
