Lovely early morning to be out trying for a Roe Doe. Managed x 2 and missed a 🦊. Time for a shower and a kip after a 4am alarm call #roedeer

Just got this little fella in this morning before the buck season ends. Landowner happy with what’s gone on in the summer with the bucks. Doe’s need a serious looking at now

Big shout out to Pard and in particular Troy who sent out a replacement rubber eye piece pronto for my DS35 foc. I lost mine on Friday while on the moor and I only found out after taking a shot. A sore lesson to learn from the recoil. I didn’t realise it had dropped off

Jodrell Bank trip out today with a sneaky call in at Chelford farm supplies for a shirt. Great day out at Jodrell if you have kids. Holidays coming up, so give it a visit and support it. Great photo exhibition on as well, northern life. Makes you want to cry #jodrellbank #space

Quality dram. I’ve been off the whisky lately but a friend just sent me this so I’m having a large one 👍🏻 #scapa #weedram

They just can’t help themselves. Returned for her other chicken.

Another call out. Three chickens taken. Charlie removed one and probably intended to return for the other two. He dug under the wire in the daytime too! I’ve pencilled him in for an appointment 👍🏻

A few days walking, eating and drinking in Northern Ireland but the phone never stops. Two calls from landowners asking for assistance on my return. I’m supposed to be beating 3 days next week but I’ve had nuralgea while I’m here so I’ll struggle to manage anything
