Corinium Stew 6 Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Just been up to my first permission , and to be honest it was amazing. 44 acres of mown grass perimeter edged with hedges with a centre of long grass small trees and bushes occasionally disected by more mown grass lanes. Plenty of fresh burrows too. I've got my rifle ranged out from 10 to 40 yards and I'm getting 5 shot groups under a 1 pence piece at 30 yards. So hopefully things will go well tomorrow.

Corinium Stew 6 Posted June 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Not a good hunt today. There are about 4 properties on my permission and one of them was having an all night party. So at 04.50 I'm out quietly stalking around rifle in hand listening to Michael Buble clear as a bell over 500 yards away, hmmph. Saw 5 rabbits none the less, 2 were too small, 2 were about 20 yards away but off permission and the closest one I could have bagged was back dropped 200 yards behind by the landowners house. Learned a lot about my kit and the permission though. Firstly need quieter boots, (mine made flappy noises). Also need a rifle strap, carrying around a scoped HW100 with a bipod for an hour hurts your arms. Also on this permission I think some shooting sticks would work well.. Any how things can only get better. Stew Quote Link to post
