Three More To The Lamp

[chrismdd 787]

Not a good night for lamping round here, too still and a fair amount of light with all the cloud cover at 10pm. But I needed to show my recent permission that I was still keen and as this newly drilled crop was now a foot high the rabbits needed to be put in check.

 

So drove out at a little after 10pm and was shooting by ten past. An hours stroll through three fields and I had three rabbits in the bag. One will be for us and the other two will go to the ferrets in the morning.

 

Not anything special to report but still a nice short trip out.

 

 

 

And one final point I'm just in the process of putting together my DIY NV kit. Its almost there but just can't get a good illumination through the scope from the IR illuminator. Who is the best guru to talk to about this who could point me in the right direction?

Nice mate. Real nice. Not your normal quality of image mind. Your usual photography tells the bloody story so well in previous posts there's no need for text, it's that good. Here is my hide, this is my range, this is my bag (sounds weird I know, but you know what I mean) I literally wait at my MacBook and keep tapping refresh, refresh... Just waiting for one of your hunting forays

As an edit, I understand it would of been hard taking pictures, at night.... On your own.... In the dark.
