CROW & FOX Killer BUT scared SHITLESS of DAREBEAR

One farm we do fox control on in winter we are usually sat on top of plastic covered bales freezing our nut's off.
So we asked the farmer if we could build a hide at the back of the barn to give us some shelter..
John and me set to work and this is a few of the pics i took during the build.. *Monkey Hanger*
The 4 main posts were 12 ft long gate posts that he said to use and the farmer knocked them in for us with his post hammer on the tractor *Monkey Hanger*

There is also a view out of the box across some of the fields we also cut 3 rails on a fence at the back put hinges on them and now we use it as a gate saves having to climb over..
Its just right for 2 people we have a couple of patio chairs in they are just the right height for shooting out off.
John put a small table in the corner and we have a gas stove on it so we can have a warm brew up if it gets cold during the night.. *lol*
Dave the farmer was so impressed he said he would run electric in for us before winter so we can have heating.
We have only been using this for a few weeks and we are had either 9 or 10 so far. Going again tonight with monkey hanger as John is away on holiday and MH has not been yet.. ***fox**** ***fox****

Looks just the job Mike!

Seems like John did all the graft. Were you supervising or providing moral support?

No i did a fair bit of graft but at times we needed one on the floor sorting and cutting to length that was when i took the pics . *Monkey Hanger*
John is an typical engineer and does not like anyone else doing anything. *lol*
We only used to go for a few hours now and then when we were not shooting.
Anne the farmers wife used to fetch us coffee and home made cakes usually within 30 min of us being there. *Burger* *Burger* *Burger*

Did my good friend Monkey Hanger enjoy the facilities in the hide? He did say in his Navy days he liked to spend alot of time in his hammock

Dr Spin there is no room for a hammock so he just had to sit in a patio chair, mind you it had a cushion for his &rse so he would be comfortable..
John we are looking forwards to winter when we can at least be warm and dry hopefully ( got gas camping stove for a nice warm brew when its cold )
