Re: Price of grouse off shoot

Game dealers up here are charging 30p/bird to take them away!

I have been giving vac packed Pheasant and Duck breasts away, for folk to try. No one has yet asked where they could buy some birds from.

Re: Brexit? Leave or Remain?

I've already postal voted to leave. I helped vote us in to the E.U. all those years ago thinking that it would be a good thing but the system is unfair and the bureaucracy is stifling.

Re: Boots for Christmas

I bought a pair of Meindl Vakuum ( http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/meindl-mens-vakuum-gtx-boots-p106690 ) in August. They have had a fair bit of use since then, stalking and beating, at least twice a week. Although not a tall boot, coupled with a pair of Berghaus Yeti gaiters ( http://www.cotswoldoutdoo...

Beating

I was out beating with my two hooligans on Monday. Standing in the wood, waiting to move off, I noticed Roe deer heading my way. Three went by, at about 70 yards, followed by a soiliary Doe, at 40 yards, or so. My dogs had sussed them, but not seen them. That is, until a buck came within 20 yards of...
