CROW & FOX Killer BUT scared SHITLESS of DAREBEAR

Got a phone call about tea time from Monkey Hanger to ask if i fancied a bit of pigeon shooting tommorow and he would pick me up in the morning about 9.30 ish. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
Anyway during the talk i said did he fancy a quick look round for a few bunnies well if you know MH like i know him mention bunnies and his eyes light up like organ stops.
Ive never met anyone that loves shooting rabbits more than him. :wub: :wub: :wub:

He came over about 6.30 we had a ride over to one of my shoot a big estate house that has a load of rabbits in the paddock behind it. We got there just after 7pm had a quick look with the new NV monocular that i got from Liddle's superstore a few weeks ago.
Not a bloody thing :( :( we then lamped the paddock and the field behind saw one rabbit in the hedge bottom and i shot it useing the .22 rimmy as its quiet near the house.

Decided to get back to the motor and have a ride round a few farm track's and see whats what.
We saw some hares now normally i dont shoot them but on this farm they are over run with the bug**rs still i refrained and only shot one with the HMR, we had nearly
done the round on one farm when i spotted a charlie in the field on MH side it was well out.
Engine off spotlight on started to squeak he started coming then dropping back in the end he just sat in the middle of the field and watched us this went on for a good 20 minutes.

We decided to drive furthur down the lane with the lights of and see what he did i wasnt to sure he could hear me squeaking as it was blowing a gale and he just seemed to like the lamp.

Anyhow drove down the lane about 100 yds pulled in tried with the spotlight again he was just sat there but a lot closer gave the HMR to M H as it was on his side he took aim and BANG switched its lights, out right between the eye's one comment from M H "f**k ing hell this gun is accurate"
Below M H with a big dog fox and even bigger GRIN

While he walked across the field to collect it checked with the rangefinder 90 yds in a howling gale good shooting mate.

Hmr ARE affected by wind but I practice with mine A LOT I gave the shot 2" to the wind hit the fox SMACK between the eyes, fox was laid facing me and it presented a perfect target had it been side on I would not have taken the shot strange how it just "laid low" staring at the lamp its mate also stayed close only running off when I walked out to pick him up?
cheers MH

Oh I get it, it's along the same lines as a "Gamekeeper's Larder" i.e. hanging crows etc on a barbed-wire fence to deter corvids. Only this time to deter foxes you've hung it on an old scare crow !! -Fun1- -Fun1-

Only joking MH, nice shot *good*
