ArchieHood 3,692 Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 For most of the summer months I used to pop out after work or have a mooch during the evening, this was quite a regular occurrence and I swore blind that my enemies new I was coming.This morning was the first time out early for a long time and I found the quarry acted in a completely different way than usual,hanging around rather than making a run for it.Do you think they get wise to regular mooches and do any of you try to stagger or rotate your shooting trips?

Sweeney-Todd 208 Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 Hi Archie. In a word , yes mate. They aint as daft as we would like to think they are, survival is the key. Same as when they get lamp shy, they twig something is wrong. Always good to alternate your grounds. ATB. Bill. Quote Link to post

peeps_76 17 Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 hi yes they defo get wise. especially if you are regular. i try and vary the times i go sometimes in the morning sometimes in the evening or night as stated its the same as them getting lamp shy! there are defo not that daft. once they have seen there mates getting nailed at 6 to 8 am every second morning for example they just bale out as soon as the see someone around that time. i would go a few mornings, then rest, then afternoons, rest, another morning, then nights! keeps them on there toes! on a similar theme. one permission i have has a very popular foot path thats used alot by dog walkers. if you stck to the path you can pass by the bunnys without them even looking up! cross the fence (3 yards closer) and walk the inside of the field and there off full bolt. its like they know people on the path will pss by without causing them any problem inside the field they know there in trouble. regards P Quote Link to post
