Hi All,

I'm at Livermere tomorrow hosting some duck shooting. I thought it was about time that I got the Feb trip sorted if we are still interested.

I'm aiming for a similar set up to last year, but I believe the preference is to go for the 4 outing weekend again?

Any more points you would like to raise then let me know and I will see what we can incorporate into the weekend.

I will find out how the cull is going so far this year. I know they have had a lot of stakers in but the keeper tells me that they are still seeing big numbers of deer around.

Rgds,
K

Kiri,

Excellent timing Mate, we leave tomorrow for a 3 week RSA trip, or perhaps you planned it thusly?

Sign Winkelmeister, George Clooney (I'm not kidding, either!) & myself up straight-away; if you'll have us.

Already? Doesn't the year speed bye!
I'll check with Solvi and see if he's coming over too.

Might be there
Depends a bit how much my Namibian taxidermy and shipping bill will cost me.

Good one Kiri. Nothing booked yet so should be there again.

Please post the dates and of course the costs for a 4 outing weekend as soon as you've worked them out.

Best,
stu

Hi All,

I think we are looking at dates of 2nd-4th March for this, subject to it working for the team.

I spoke to the estate yesterday and prices are marching on as per usual, (they never seem to go down!!!).

To do a four outing weekend is coming in at £550, and to stay in bed on Sunday mng will mean the cost comes down to £460.

Trophy fees are £85 for Munty bucks of any quality and Roe does (they don't really want them shot), and no charge will be made for the small Munty bucks shot that are indistinguishable from the does.

Each outing will again include up to three does, and accommodation will be full board as always.

I will bring some extra beers soft drinks and vino for the team.

Pigeon shooting will be available on the Sunday for those that want it for £100/gun fully kitted out. We can sort this out on the weekend if the weather allows for it.

Let me know what your thoughts are and we can go from there.

Just for the record, I have put in £30 per person on the whole price to cover organisational costs etc but nothing more.

Rgds,
K

Hi All

Please note amendment to proposed dates. Dates at the hall were unavailable for the previous weekend so it had to move into March.

All other details remain the same.

Kiri

Right so, following complaints by the management, I am confirming I will attend. Nigel is also a possibility, but currently TBC.

Who else is committed?

They've taken me away this morning.

Something about being caught wandering around in a particular kind of hooded top.

Brian, looking forward to meeting up again. I'm confirmed.

Amir, make sure you let me know what duty free you want. And pack a spare lighter for me this time!

Amir,

Your Cukoo's Nest needs a little tidying up as well, Mate so don't start throwing too many stones.

A Suburban with blacked out windows did a slow drive-by outside my place yesterday night.

Then the 'phone rang, I answered it and there was a distinct click before the line went dead.

OK, the events of the past four years have been explained in detail to Nigel.

Despite this, he is up for it, so that is a definite. There is another possible, but it will be nearer the time before I could confirm that one.

Hi, if this is open to all, I would be interested in some deer stalking and meeting up with other AR members. Please PM me some more details.

Sounds like a lot of fun and I PROMISE, absolutely, hand on heart, upon my mothers honor, no real tree underwear exist within my wardrobe...

Bwana,

Where Real tree under wear is concerned, our suffering may be short and shocking, but if the pictures make the net then your suffering could go on for a whole lot longer!!! We have experience in this sphere... sadly.

Yep definateyly the double. 450 minimum calibre on muntjac. They are tough little buggers!!

Anyone want CWD while over here? I've just agreed a new 1200 acres for the vampire teddybears!!

K

Kiri, please post about or PM me some details on the CWD. I'll probably stay a few extra days either before or after Livermere and I'd be interested in getting in a few extra sessions on a high seat somewhere.

stu

" Yep definateyly the double "

Kiri

you serious ?

Count me in then

No umbrellas and iPads allowed on highseat as before ?

Well, hopefully my little .30-06 double will do them justice. If I get gnawed to death by a muntie I will get laughed off the African Hunting board!

You will have to pardon my ignorance. I have only lived here in the UK for a dozen years and I still feel like a plank sometimes..."CWD"???

quote:

....."CWD"???

Chinese Water Deer, AKA "Chinkie".

I thought the official translation of

CWD is Chinese weapon of destruction ?

Old deer have I got the wrong end of the stick again ........

Hi Guys,

Beores and afters are always a possibiltiy.

I would say a day on the Chinese is ample, (I will get pricing confirmed and posted soon)

Then we can go blat Fallow at my place £65/outing if there are enough of us.

choices choices....

K

Oh we can also travel a little further north and have a go on the reds? ~Say within 35 minutes of Livermere?

K

Like we discussed on telephone, Kiri, you can count me in! Making it a long weekend is a good idea!
Looking forward to seeing you guys!

Hey Guys,

The estate owner rang me yesterday and asked if I could help him get some hares shot at one of his other estates about 30mins away.

I thought it might be a good idea to go for that on the Sunday after stalking? Additional cost would be £90. We would be looking at about 100 hares if we have a big enough team.

Rgds,
K

Is that driven hares with a shotgun Kiri?

Sounds awfully tempting......

What sort of charge would one use for it?

Kiri, that is filling up nicely.

A bit of hare shooting might be fun.

Amir, I would suggest a 36gr load of no 4 shot.

I like Hares, good eating IMO.
Mind you, last year, there were highseats where there were a lot more hares within range than Munties.
I seem to recall trying to resist the temptation to give a few an ear-piercing.

Sounds great! I'm in. Its on my calendar now.

As winter closes in and the weather gets colder, this hare species are more often seen here in Norway. Especially the female sort.
Hopefully it´s not the one to shoot at the estate?

You saw this too?

I'd hate to be the dog that was sent to retrieve that one!!

Amir, Yes it would be driven hares with shotguns.

You could always use 36grams of 4's or alternatively you could use 32g of 5's and only shoot at the ones that are in range....




K

The shame of it... 32gms of 5's is a partridge load.

Those must be some "stonking" partridges Brian.

Hmmm.... I can feel a test coming on.

So far then we have the following team

Kiri
Brian
Nigel
Amir
Val
Stu
Gerry
Winklemeister
George Clooney
Anders
Bwana Cole


Any one I missed?

K

We need some more internationals Kiri, stick an ad on the hunts offered forum.

There's no way a travelling hunter will be able to this much shooting in the UK for this money normally.

If I'm gonna get footage of this hare hunt, Kiri, we need to wind down the experienced shooters. Who can we leave out?

Kiri,
I want to be there, but can't confirm until later this month

Pencil me in.
I'm trying to move house so reluctant to commit beyond a two month window at the moment but I'm fairly determined to fit it in.
Besides, Ghubert owes Quiddy another kiss apparently the tongue action was something special!
