Brought the pup out for his first proper run in cover on Saturday. Driving over to the wood spotted these fellas picking





The middle pond we have was still frozen solid, pup was out running around on it and wasn't too impressed when he was told to sit.




The last pond we opened was thawing on the edges but there was still a good two and a half inches of ice on it.



All in all the pup worked well on the whistle and ran himself ragged, took to cover very well and put up a few woodcock. Am very happy with his progress even if there are times I forget that he is still on a learning curve.

I brought LuLu the 105CTi and my good self out today for a walk to clear my head (had a few beers last night and there was a scraw of children skiting around the parents house.

I got the Dog 48 hours ago. She was never in the field until today.

She proved herself to be a great bitch.
She searched 20-25 yards in front.
She would halt at a whistle.
She would go where ever I pointed my hand.

Near dark we came across this boyo, Missed with the first, but Plugged with the second.
And no training, I snook her into the house and she sat beside me while the oldies were in Mass.
edit, forgot pic

If it's in the blood, it's in the blood.

I'm perfecting my stalking Rig.

Edi Graef PSE composites stock.
Remington VTR Threaded for Mod.
Nightforce 5.5-22x56 NPR2 Scope
ASE S5 .30 Stainless mod.
Tactical Bolt Knob and all Custom work www.irelandcustomrifle.com
Total rig is still 2" shorter than my VSSF II varminter with a mod on!!

So little by little I've developed a perfect rifle for stalking.


All I need now is a better Camera

One of many Sunday mornings spent out over the last few months....Crouching in a spot where I missed one before...He came right out of some cover towards me and as soon as I lifted the barrel, began to turn on his heels to hike it - bang - dropped him like a sack of spuds. He turned out alot bigger than I thought he would be. First fox so quite pleased

Shot this hind yesterday, got a great stalk on her a yrl and calf, took about to get up to them, got to about 90mtrs off them,shot the hind. Took roughly an hour and a half to get back to the jeep, still a bit of snow on the ground. The hind was in calf, she had very little fat around the kidneys, weighed out at 50kg clean in the larder.

went out today to a new spot that i got permission from brought on the small fella with me. spotted this big flooded section of field and decided to give a walk down then the pointer ran in on top of these two, up they got two shots later they were down i failed to find one in thick cover and just as i turned to walk away, out comes the pointer out of the ditch with it in his mouth, had to kind of chase him down as he thought it was a game so must work on that. we then went on another bit and up two snipe got up and again two shots two birds and again failed to find the second bird pointer found it no problem only this time the pointer decided to swallow it and bring it back up in the van thanks:o

I got this lad tonight.
He is not the biggest fox I have ever shot but he was as fat as any I have ever seen.
He weighed in at 21 lb on that little scale in the picture.

I took these with the phone over the last couple of days.
Anyone know what variety of deer these are?
I reduced the file size of the photos to make them easier to upload, but I can upoad bigger ones if the quality's not good enough.

locum-motion

A few more.

Thanks, guys.

I was surprised at how dark they are in colour. I always thought that deer were more of a chestnutty colour (or is that Red Deer?)
