this was the result after an evening stalk and a nights lamping, the stalking was recently acuired by myself & my shooting buddy steff, Luck must have been on our side as we were only out for a couple of hours before dark and we both bagged a roe buck each,after a long haul back to the 4*4 ,our next foray was on the lamp,night started of quiet seeing no fox,s after a while we started to see the red stinkers ,first couple were just lying watching us so it was just a matter of get on target and take them out ,went to another farm and there was a cub on the lonning on the way to the farm got

been intrested in bowhunting for some time have a quite large collection of hunting dvds from cabelas in the states, as stated it is illegal in the uk so never had the chance to experience it for myself, was hopeing to get over to try some bow hunting after an invite but things didnt work out ,so was left dissapointed as i would have liked to experience what must be an adrenaling rush

now unfortunately i dont have the quality of stalking like some of you luckier shooters , this time however luck was on my side ,my local area has quite a few roe but they seem to stay in woodland that is council owned and a designated nature walk ,so its very rare that i see roe where i have permision a few ocasional does , this time luck was on my side,the wind was swirling so the aproach to the wood was difficult i saw a deer disapear into the wood ,i dont know if he got my scent or not , i decided to sit it out for a while to see if it would show again after about half hour or so i noticed

unfortunately mxy is starting to rear its ugly head on one of our areas that has a high population of rabbits ,will have to try to reduce the numbers before it gets a good hold

This was the result after my shooting buddy received a phone call from a farmer that was botherd about the ammount of rabbits he was seeing, so off we went for a nights lamping , now beleive it or not all the rabbits that were shot were out of three fields, this farmer was good enough to let us drive the fields in the 4*4 so it was just a case of positionong the vehicle then using the wing mirror as a rest ,easy peasy, all we done was take it in turns to shoot , we lost about half a dozen rabbits because when there was an area where it was one shot after another and we lost position of some of

rifleshooter replied to FOXHUNTER's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
excelent shooting that must have been a real buzz for your friend , i was chufed when i bet my personal best of 270 yds fox when i shot a crow at 335 yds so to shoot a hare at 664 yds i would be bloody over the moon , well done -
nice going there foxhunter ,been seeing a few cubs near where i live ,at least two litters ,got one at the weekend but still to much cover about so hopefuly will have a few decent nights out when the fields get cut

cool :11:

like frank said its amazing what a 22 magnum can do but it has to be well placed, dont think i would have the confidence to shoot such a large beast with a small calibre , what sort of range was it possumpaul , welcom to the site

this is a photo i managed to capture while out for a early morning stalk

thanks for that baldie

like duckwing i have a good collection of bow/rifle hunting dvds and they are good all in the states where it is legal to use a bow, it is something i would like to try, an area where i used to shoot but lost to a good old syndicate, had simulated bow hunting ,consisting of life size deer,fox, turkey targets etc set up in woodland and different shooting points
-
this is a question for the few rifleshooters that know what they are talking about, i know enough to get me by but not as much as i would like to ,so if there is any books ,dvds ,or any other info that you know about it would be gratefuly received , any how to the question in hand my dad is about to purchace a 17 r/f now i know they fire copper coated bullets ,would you treat it as a centre fire and run in the barrel , or would you just leave it and just give it a clean every few shots
