Lamping Last night


Recommended Posts

Went out last night for an hour and a half on a new bit of land, with my brother in law and the rifles. Had a cracking night bringing a total of 22 bunnies and 1 woodie to the bag. The majority were from one hedgerow, the woodie decided to come down and see what the commotion was when I shot a bunny which break danced when shot, so Mark shot it.

Very enjoyable till the pick up and carry back to the car, which was only about 200m.

TY Phantom,

 

managing to get some nice spots locally to banish some bunnies, good timing too got another 12 ferret kits growing up so plenty for them to eat.

 

The local farmers around here are begging for bunny clearance, th trouble is loads of them have been pestered by guys who shoot once and never go back, me I'll be back up there tonight. Got another plot nearby which has had nearly 120 bunnies taken of it by us with the rifles, went up on the way past last night and its over run again. Busy...busy...busy. Good times ahead.

Out again last night further up the same fields, was a lot harder tonight with strong winds and a bit of light rain, but we still managed a decent bag, think we knocked over 17 this time. Had a cheeky young fox walk right out to one of the bunnies and pick it up..cant even get my sodding GSPs to do that.

Sweet :clapper:

 

Well done; on the numbers :D

 

Yeah the Foxes are making more and more use of us hunters.

Had one jump out in the cemetery litterally as the bunny went down, grabbed it and legged it.

Not that it bothered me, I was quite impressed and in awe really such a lovely animal in good condition. Only thing is it didn't hang around long enough for for me to get its portrait with a bunny in its mouth :do:

 

Would have made a superb wildlife image :yes: Who knows maybe when it gets darker and colder it may do the same again?
