moxy 617 Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Landed back at the posh house to lift the traps as the job is done for now. I will be back on at the end of the summer for a final check. I have had 21 from the fenns but that's another tale. Having a slow wander around the garden and noticed a trap straggling rabbit chewing away down on the tennis court. A steady against a large pine tree. A slow breath and a squeeze of the squeaky trigger and it was a 9/10 for the somersault and a final kick in the air with the back leg. That shot made a couple of squirrels dart from a beech tree to my side and they performed their tightrope act along the maze of branches. Coming to a stop some 35 yds away for a brief few seconds. That's all it took. Still resting against the pine the game was up for one of the pair and with a magnificent dive, it landed on the deck in the tennis court. I had a wander down to retrieve them and a woody landed in a tree above some 20 yds. Well that got an AAF up through the neck and out through the top of the napper. With not so even a flap that was another for the bag. Quote Link to post

moxy 617 Posted June 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Cheers fellas. It's was all a lucky stumble. I have been several times to empty my traps and there has been nothing about. Other occasions I have had the opportunity of a shot or two but I left the gun in the motor. This time paid off. There were a couple of magpies squawking high in the tree tops but no chance of a safe shot. That would have made a good rouges gallery line up picture. Another day perhaps. Quote Link to post
