Marksman 934 Posted February 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 .......not even a THWACK or a BANG Darryl?? Look forward to the pic's mate. Nope....not even that mate.... I think we saw about a dozen all night but couldnt get anywhere near them due to them being very skittsh and lampshy, even with the dimmer and also the "crunching" frozen ground. Can't win em all though! Darryl Quote Link to post
