Ideation 8,216 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 As for the most part my rabbitng is over, it's time to start the yearly war on the Tree Rats, so i thought i would have a quick hour on the estate after work. Called in to see the shoot captain and had a natter, and then went up and had a stroll around a beach copse. Managed a half dozen, from a half dozen shots, so was quite pleased. And an extra bonus, i noticed that about 40/50 crows are drawing into the cattle barns / feeders, so that should be another bit of sport in the next few weeks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ideation 8,216 Posted March 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Actually lab, there were two, that made a run for a tree, the first i shot as itwas running, but the second made it to the tree, which was covered in ivy and i lost sight of it, but knew it was up there. A few good stomps from my size 11, on the tree trunk, and squizza decided he would leap from his high perch at my head Needless to say he never made it past the end of the .410. He was probably about a foot off the end of the barrel, when i split his head in two The rest of the blood on the other tree rats is his PJ - They are buzzard food mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Makes no sense, they wont take a shotgunned rabbit, but want a tree rat? Works out better here if the buzzards eat them and not the poults, at 3.50 a poult, we are probably 'making' more off them than you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
