    I agree but culls are no longer tax deductible and I'll be b********d if I'm wasting my money.

        Think of it as practice. Target practice is a good thing, you want to be ready for when you need to shoot rats/weasels.

            Discount carpet centres all over the place these days. Roll-ends are cheap enough.

            That said, I'm looking at selling up the quicklime stock and moving into pig-farming.

              He hasn't returned, but I've got a bit more practising in.

                  Not yet. Can I borrow your costume?


                  I have left peanuts and corn out for him. I know he likes corn based on the rate he goes through the chicken food.


                  Unrelated, but possibly interesting, my trail cam has answered the question of whether we have a fox or a badger visiting our garden. Turns out it's one of each.

                    No, but he married a fox and it turned into an elephant.
