Thanks Archie, will tone it down in future

Hell of a few days wasn't it!

Thanks David - smiles all round! Can't wait for January!

Thanks! Heart was in my mouth with the early slow drives but we haven't had a drive like the last in too may years! Worth all the effort and spurs us to do more next year! How are your days going? Agree it's getting better as the leaves FINALLY drop!

Couldn't agree more!!!

Team effort! Thanks to everyone for doing their bit (apart from me who shot like an arse!)

eat team takes for her ferrets, some go in the fox tube

yeah. they are everywhere! Doing our best to get the numbers down

Will do the next one in a longer style without the music! Thank you for watching though, hope you'll enjoy future efforts - we're out agin on Saturday but it looks like it'll be pouring rain!

Agree the music isn't for everyone so will try to mix it up and do some with and some without. Thanks for watching though!

I don't agree it's disrespectful - I totally accept it might not be to your taste but I think it does show a group of friends from all age groups enjoying a day in the countryside and benefitting from all the hard work in habitat management over the course of the year - I try to mix it up and do some with music and some without. I hope you'll watch some of my other films to see there is no disrespect for the people, the sport, the birds or the land.

Thanks! Really appreciate it! How's your season going?

Only done 2 days but great so far. Hopefully leaves will be off and birds will fly stronger

@@privateaccount2396 couldn't agree more!

Take your point and I try to mix it up a bit - I wanted to have a short, fast film with plenty of energy to celebrate a good first day in the field and I hope, despite the choice of song, you saw how the hard work has paid off and how our little shoot has brought so many people together of all ages and that we've harvested fresh wild food to eat and enjoy! Will lay off the rap for a bit!!!

@ other than the Rap I enjoyed your vidio. I know all to well how much hard work goes into providing a good day for guns. Well done 👍

@@steveoneill6492 Thank you, I really appreciate that!

Sorry it's not your thing but how can the year be wasted when we've done so much to improve the habitat and increase wildlife on the farm?

@A_Year_In_The_Woods surely I don't have to explain the damage done by the millions of non native game birds released into the countryside,if I have to explain then your addiction has taken hold.

@@Johnsmyth1 I'd really like the opportunity to discuss the pros and cons with you but perhaps this isn't the forum?

@@A_Year_In_The_Woods ok your being polite,which is uncharacteristic for a gun wielder, so we'll leave it.

@@Johnsmyth1 OK, I do see your side too and am very conscious that everything we do has to have a net benefit to the environment we operate in. I think we probably both have the same outcome at heart for our wildlife but have different approaches to how best to achieve it. Thank you too for your level comments and I hope not all "gun wielders" you come across are impolite!

Thank you! Cheers!

Take your point - try to do some short ones to music and the more in depth ones without - hope you stick with me!

Thanks David, I was a bag of nerves until a few birds were in the cart! That crosser was the icing on the cake!!!

Thank you! He's located near North Hill, Launceston, Cornwall

I did feel a bit disheart3ened when the clouds parted and the moon shone full but on this occasion, Mr Fox hadn't read the same books!

Thank you! It's like painting the Forth road bridge - never ending!!! Very pleased with the birds this year, let's hope they hang around!

Yup, very true.

Agree with you it isn't an ideal solution but as a DIY club we have a number of people going down to feed so wanted to have a "standard" feeding whistle - we're off the beaten track so hopefully Johnnie Poacher won't find us!

thanks mate - still got some work to do! Keep on protecting those pens fellla!

Thank you Greorge

Many thanks!

We need to get your two lads started!!

Thanks! Big for us yes! Hope we can keep them happy!!!

Thanks mate, that means a lot to me! Love making them and thrilled you enjoy them!!

Will do on the next one Mick!

@@A_Year_In_The_Woods Hello excellent video i have hunting videos on youtube

@@HuntinginLebanon94 Thanks! I will take a ook at your videos!

Fair point, will bear in mind for next video. Thanks!

thank you so much! Really appreciate the support!

I agree! Looking to upgrade the feeders soon as the buggers have chewed through the top as well. Need a redesign! Considering all metal stations. Agree peanuts aren't cheap nut don't mind providing some food for the birds TBH. Thanks so much for the comment.

@@A_Year_In_The_Woods No worries - enjoyed the video. I've tried everywhere from farm supply shops to wholesalers, but the cheapest peanuts I can find are £22 for 12.5 kg from B&Ms etc.

@@wolfysmith4752 and they sel out so quickly! I've often had to pay £41 a bag!!!!

@@A_Year_In_The_Woods That's true - I've tried diluting the peanuts down with cheaper seeds, but the little bastards just chuck them on the floor and eat the peanuts, so the seed is wasted...

Thanks! Got to take the numbers of greys down as they are ruining the young trees bu bark stripping!

Thanks Andrew!

Thanks Paul, good point - I've got a pH testing kit I use so will keep an eye on that!

Many thanks for the sub! Working on the next installment! Everything is growing like crazy!

We are thick with rhododendrons in the other wood! Dreading that! Hoping our ash trees don't succumb - we've got some lovely specimens!

Many thanks for the support! Yeah, thermal really is a game changer, wouldn't be without it now! Pricey but invaluable - problem is, I'm itching to upgrade now!!!

@@A_Year_In_The_Woods I’m sure Ian Hodge will welcome an upgrade. 😂 look like you have good one already, so gotta be minimal scope for improvement.

Thank you Lorraine - rather splendid isn't she!

Many thanks! Delighted you're enjoying the episodes

Thanks! Hope the boys enjoy it!
