I was led to believe that a clear full moon night was good for shooting roosters big black shapes easy to see against the bright sky. Edited by king

I got binned from work, was contemplating lamping but I fed the dogs a big meal at 21:30 so a bit too close for my liking.

So I'm emptying a bottle of Pinot Grigio instead.

I stopped drinking at 11 30 my mate had big argument in pub so had to leave lo, Pinot Grigio that's for women I swear

Haha I'm happy to be called a woman for appreciating a nice wine.

 

That's gone now anyway. Jack Daniels time now.

 

I try not to do pubs. Too much hassle. Better off at home with TV and snoring dogs. Lol

No need for torches or anything just go on a cloudy night and you can see really clearly looking up at them.

I like banks of cloud blowing across with a clear dark sky, just a case of timing, solid cloud lights it up to much imo. Retired though :laugh:

Just got back from a shine, waiting for some very expensive tripe to defrost :D

6 bunnies from my very clever slow dog :laugh: .

6 bunnies round here is a good night lol can't wait to move what dog shee you running as in what cross

 

 

6 bunnies is good around here, so far it's the best she has done, problem is she missed about twice that :laugh: . Saying that this was the 4 or 5th time she's been, she's a bushing bitch really. 1 was out of the seat, all the rest were caught in the cover and the fields were firm, flat and fast. All were retrieved live to hand. So all in all not bad, apart from something else she missed, but hey ho can't catch em all :D .

Just got back in for a couple of hours with the pack. Can't beat a windy day for bushing. The vermin can't here you coming.

Fed the mutts, get my head down for a few hours and out again this evening. You've got to seize the opportunity, good weather, no moon, don't always happen.
