A Few From Last Night

[jw74 27]

i turned up on my 10 acre perm last night to find a fox in the middle of the field,so after chasing him off i sat up and waited.about 20 mins went past when i bagged my first rabbit of the night.over the next hour i had one more rabbit at about 35yds,then i sat back and was waiting for another to make up a good meal for my dogs when i spotted 3 rabbits,so over i crept to try to get within range i popped my light on to see 1 to my right 1 to my left and one about 50yds ahead,as the 1 one on my right seemed about 30yds i layed down ready with the light on when he hopped over right beside the 2 horses,so i moved over to my left by about 15 yds so i was aiming well away from the horses when just as i was going to take my shot i looked to my left and there was the fox about 10-15 yds away just staring at me.so i was there with 3 rabbits around me 2 horses and i had to chase the fox away with my light.but what amazed me was after all of this going on the rabbits stayed put,(and they are healthy with no signs of mixy).so i bagged number 3 and called it a night.ive got 3 very happy dogs with rabbit and pasta for their tea tonight.

thanks,my rabbits have just gone in the pot and the dogs are on my case already.it makes me laugh as it takes hours to shoot the rabbits then more time skinning and cleaning then cooking. but the dogs munch them down in seconds.

Darn Fox! My heart would sink when I'd see those eyes in the lamp, it often meant nothing would come out as both of us would wander and loiter hoping the other would bugger off.

 

Thanks for posting!

yes it was a really good night,even if id came away with no rabbits id of been happy.its nice to see the wildlife i just cant wait to get my night vision sorted now. the lamp i use is a clulite mg 125 with a red quality street wrapper on it which works well. the light will pick up eye shine across pretty much all of the 10 acres but with the filter its cut the beam down to about half,its rechargeable and comes with a really good mount. for £50 it was well worth the money atb jason
