Video: Royal Regiment Of Scotland Firefight Afghanistan

Have a look and listen to this!

Ok, here is a little more of tripod the 3 legged buck, originally seen by Richard many months ago on his trail cams. He was plotted at various locations, salt licks tc and even jousting during the rut but never clearly through a rifle sight.


More to follow.



Anyhow I'll get back to that later, in the celeb obsessed world us poor mortals inhabit we have endured the media parading of this farce. Now whatever you think about alledged marital cheats to replace him with an alleged drug cheat, where's the sense in that or are we expected to have goldfish memories.
I'm glad to see that England took Wales in the 6 nations on saturday even if I cannt understnd why we have sin bins and lift players in the line outs, be wearing padding next!

Anyway enough of that lets have more of this even if it is faked;

As is probably this;

But this in Iraq shows that Human ingenuity will overcome even crappy French car designs and awful parking, I cant see it catching on though;

That said I could regale you with tales of our own darwin candidates but I'll save that for later.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr Free market and his Fairy Tales for getting me involved in this game originally. He has retired from the active scene but is still publishing "on this day" so we can still enjoy what history the politically correct havent tried to airbrush out of our lives, Here's a glass of Dublin's whiskey raised to you!

First work party weekend

Spent saturday morning looking at a house with land, way out of my price league, well it wasnt until all the M class Mercs turned up!

Saturday afternoon spent at Eastbourne Borough watching the Seasiders beat Wrexham 2-1.

The next day was back to the wood, sorting out feeders and moving drums of feed around;

Of course we managed to flush more birds in 10 minutes than we had all season, typical!Breaking up the cache of drums means that we can walk around without carrying bags of grain for miles or use the vehicles, this is good, we can stalk charley whilst doing a feed round!

We spent a little time risking Toni's life and limb, even the dogs sat in the 4wd.

Richard managed at last to get his 3 legged buck, I get a haunch to do the trophy, its a big deer and hopefully I will post the story later this week.

I've no idea where this came from

It certainly looks funny, with the sad demise of Mr Free Market I will do my best to trawl t'internet for your enjoyment!

More photos from today

Some great father and son moments there!

I should really add the tally for the season;

20 Pheasants

16 Woodcock

1 Grey Squirrel

2 Fox

1 Jay

1 Magpie

9 Wood pigeon and 1 feral pigeon

Not a bad days bag, just a pity we took 8 days to make it, never mind I'm sure that the remaining Pheasants, all 242 of them will come back tomorrow to taunt us!

In the meantime please practise on the clays!

Last day of the current season

It was beaters day in our little wood. Sadly the 2 half guns and 2 of the full guns couldnt make it but we had a respectable turn out.

Its a sort of Father and Son day, should you be lucky enough to have a son that beats for you then this is payback time. Some sons took great pleasure in paying back;

Archie here not only took a bird with his first shot but also it was a woodcock. Well done, when you are so young that your dad has to carry the gun between drives then you deserve this luck.

The first drive produced another oddity, One of Tony's pointers flushed a visiting cock pheasant which was snatched from the sky by the neck at about 4 feet up by Dilly Chris's dog!

Here is Frank holding the evidence;

Whilst we mention Frank who I must add dropped a big pheasant, is a very nice Dutch Colleague of mine and he came with the Terminator;
The day wasnt too bad, a fair few birds presented and a fair few saluted, just a pity we only managed two brace of each, this is thanks to Frank potting a big fat Cock Pheasant despite Maurice claiming it for himself and then William potted a Woodcock much to his Brother Charles' disgust! No peace in that house till next season.

I wish we could do a beaters every month and I suspect they do too. I hope next season runs as well as this one, as I said to the guns in their hand out for next season, this one is over but the next one starts on the first of feb with a work party on the 7th.

Todays guns were this seasons beaters seen here with their birds and below are this seasons guns and todays beaters with their sense of humour intact

The last picture I would like to leave you with is this one, two friends enjoying their first day shooting together ever;

More to follow!

Now that the season is nearly over

You shouldnt neglect your target practise!
