Catcher 1 639 Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 It happened again yesterday.Got up at half seven.Got the sporocker and the air rilfe.Hoping for a bit of squirre bashingl.Out four hours and never got a shot.Before leaving the woods i fired the rifle into the groud.Heard a noise to my rigth.two roe coming towards me about ten feet away.Thank god they wherent moving quick.As they had to split up to get round me.Must have been the gun going of that startled them.Begining to think that sprockers a fecking jinks.

Simoman 110 Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 As others have said, pheasents exploding from under your feet sometimes make you jump, also the unexpected bark of a muntjac in close proximatey can put your heartrate up for a second:laugh: When i used to do a lot of ratting they would sometimes make you shudder as they ran across your feet or tried to get up your legs, also bumped into the odd snake which startle you. I remember years ago sat in a farm waste ground at night with my gun when a fox barked at me less than 10 yards away, made me jump too. A member on here squeeled like a girl a few weeks ago when we walked through a hedge, shone the lamp and it illuminated a scarecrow 10 feet away, and no i wont reveal the members name as its not fair and jeppi is a good lad, oppps!!!!
