secretagentmole 1,701 Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 (edited) Well tonight I was lazy, after helping the father in law put up a new radio antenna yesterday and spending most of it on a ladder trying to sort out his TV reception after erecting the new radio mast (he is a radio amateur), his TV threw a curve and said no signal, so after 2 hours of repositioning the arial and still no TV he decides to get the one out of the kitchen, that immediately works. So then I politely suggest retuning the TV and lo it blasted worked. Trouble is after six hours on a ladder the arches of your feet ache like hell, so a prolonged stalk was out, Mary decided she would take me hunting in the Mole Mobile! Vroom Vroom! Off down to the position and we park in the stable yard and drop the back roof and open the front roof, couple of women mucking out the horses (think one was the permission holders daughter), asked us what we were doing, we explained, they were happy. Convertible converted I stand in the back and the Vitara was put in the low ratio and Mary selected D and we trundled off. First turn out of the stable yard, nothing, but as we turned left, rabbit by the edge of the beet field, 35 metres up and I got a good line on it, fired, rabbit dead, The Moley Mobile has one to it's credit! As I am picking up the rabbit the woman who talked to us in the yard pulls up behind us "Didn't take you long did it?" She asked laughing! So rabbit in bag, in boot (boot? twy space behind back seats and in front of door, nicely rabbit sized) and off we rumble again, Round by the top of the beet field we see a MIxy rabbit on the bank, Mini-Me spat another pellet out, it rolled down the bank, I could not be bothered to fetch it! Round by the edge and under the trees I tried to see if I could see any sitters but it is harvest time... Round by the edge of the hay field and no rabbits seen, MIxy I think could be wreaking havoc on the pastures. Down by the plum trees we heard a party going on, then Mary spotted another Mixy rabbit in the set aside field, one shot and that was bagged and put in the car ready to go on the burning pile. Going back down the track we saw a couple in the paddock, but as we drew into a firing position they gave it legs. Lap two, saw a decent rabbit but Nettly Knoll obscured it, managed to get out and up without scaring it, getting into a firing position gave it legs though, straight towards me, it sat down 35 metres away, easy shot and kill, rabbit number two! Put in the keeper bag and off we rumbled again! In the as yet unshot paddock we saw a good sized rabbit, but the cough gave it away, another Mixy rabbit was put in the burn bag! Back in the Vitara and we slowly set off again, saw plenty of pheasant and partridge, will be nice when the season starts, if I am given the go ahead on those too! Back at the top we go down by the wheat field, and I saw it, a 6 month bunny in front of the Vitara, just in front, 5 metres in front, Lined up, gave it a little hold under and fired, rabbit down! So that was picked up, the old lady at the end of the terrace would love that! So three keepers and three Mixy, not a bad couple of hours in the 4x4! Sorry camera and video camera left at home! I want a sticker made of a pair of rabbit ears with a cross through it, like fighter pilots of old, would have 6 for the front wing today! Edited August 20, 2011 by secretagentmole Quote Link to post
