Had a call from one of the farmers that I do a bit of pest control for late in the afternoon yesterday.
He has just had a large family house built on the outskirts of a small village fairly close by.
He has 4 fields that surround the house about 25 Acres in all....... the fields have a healthy population of rabbits in residence apparently.
From what he has said on the phone I think he has ploughed and planted a couple of them and needs the rabbits thinning out :)
Really nice down to earth chap........... so makes it a pleasure to help him out.
Going to organise a meeting and recce with him for a look around.....not visited the site before.
Winter shooting will be down to the weather and conditions........but Spring and Summer could be busy :D

Jobs a good'un :thumbsup:
 
Arranged a meeting at 09.00hrs this morning.

First visit to the site.....what a stunning house and grounds.......still ongoing works but lovely.
Had a walk around and the hotspots were pointed out to me.
There are a lot of signs.....the little buggers are busy.
Must have spotted at least 5 while walking the margins......and 4 deer galloping across one of the fields.
At the bottom towards the Estuary/river there is a train track and footpath.....a lot of rabbits down there and coming onto the land.
Safe to shoot as I can keep the archs of fire along the hedge......shooting parallel.
There is an old barn....reported to have a family of foxes in residence.
Also a couple of active. Badger sets.

A few pictures as promised. :thumbsup:

Thanks Bam :thumbsup:

Yes mate.....very lucky.....and I don't take anything for granted.
The fields have been planted....when the shoots start poking through it will be busy there for sure.
Bit of a bummer they have ploughed right up to the margins :rolleyes::rofl:
Spring and Summer it will be a joy to shoot there......lovely setting.

We get some cracking sunrises and sunsets up the river :thumbsup:
 
Forgot to mention.....in the first picture (top left).....if you look closely you will see the Deer running across the field.......middle of picture.....hedge behind :thumbsup::)
