I think I have some more shoots lined up next year, this year has been difficult and a tad "violent". Next year will be smoother, so, yes, I hope to do so.

I have some new land lined up, perfect peace and bliss on the banks of the Ribble. If you ask farmers and explain what you are doing and why,make them feel confident in yourself and the fact that you won`t mess the place up,it is amazing what access you can get............(y)
 
Long time no see ladies....:)

Still loving the thread keep up the good work

This one shows the lass who has lost most of her leg.It could have been shot off, but I still think it is a snare that did it. I saw one in the summer carrying a back leg, wether it is the same is impossible to say. With the amount of deer poaching going on, i`m amazed that she is still alive. Thank goodness for a few people, farmers as much as anybody else, that care for these beautiful creatures.

Nobody knows, where are the breeding stags? Where are the best of the best? Where are the full headed stags?

Some pratt, who can`t see beyond the end of his rifle has killed them all.The breeding stock has gone, so what is left?.............nothing, the man is an utter nob. Hard enough to shoot deer,owls and badgers, but not man enough to stop scumbags running deer.
Yet our WLO says he is taking in personally, utter tosh.

I've just spend the last few hours reading through this thread.

I'm stunned by the quality of the shots in it. You have some great skill and I envy both your patience and access to such wonderful land.

It seems like it's been a year of highs and lows. Let's hope next year is more highs.

I look forward to reading more as the months move on.

Thank you, next year will be better. I think someone will be out of work......:)
 
Just like to say how much I have enjoyed following your thread this year. I really hope that you do carry it on into the new year it has been nothing short of amazing :clap:
 
The beck is frozen over just now, and the main river is 70% frozen over,oddly though, the kingfisher is still knocking about.

Not much else happening ATM, the weather is keeping most stuff deep in the woods, though I did see some deer today and watched a stoat for a while.
 
Ade, how happy am I to see this thread still going! :D Some lovely images from you since my last check a few months back.

I'm looking forward to lots more from you ;)

The corpses will be gone by the end of the day, the buzzards fly that wood in the afternoons.If they don`t scoff them then the stoats,foxes or whatever will.Seems a perfectly good use of grey squirrels to me.......:D

Thanks bud.

I must admit to having a soft spot for them Rog, I can hear them making that wonderful noise they make well before I see them.I hear the noise and set up on the peanuts,that is all they eat that I serve up.......:thinking:
