An hour out in colour.

[Gav 1,708]

I had an hour to spare so decided to take the 17HMR out, I don't get it out enough really, mainly just because I'm a tight old git!

Anyway hole number one, ranged at 88 yards with rangefinder, scanning the ground with the scope, a bloody immigrant came into sight, to my absolute disgust it was actually copulating with a local, having no choice I promptly dispatched it, the participant promptly ran off or it would have got the same. Three more locals swiftly followed their demise, as I was waiting to see if any more wanted to play I realised I had my phone, so took pictures too.

I then went on down the road to another spot I frequent, most ran off as I approached, but managed to nail two that were convinced they were hidden as rocks, I proved them wrong. One actually managed to writhe around a bit after the first shot so a second was issued promptly, these were around the 75 yard mark.

I wanted to checkout another hole I'd been hammering quite hard during the week and taken 19 out of since Monday. I was pretty sure they knew my landy by now and would be holed up before I got chance to scope them out, oh how wrong I was, two babies an easy target out around eighty yards (yes I shoot babies, they'll be big ones soon enough). I also missed a bigger one a bit further out which ran to ground very quickly, must have been close but not close enough.

I'm sure everyone has seen enough dead rabbits so took some of the scenery I shoot around instead  apart from the floozy immigrant, I thought you all like to see that.

All in all not a bad hour, and the scores are :-

Rounds taken = 10

Bunnies dispatched = 8 = £4 from the estate. 5 sold = £5 so all in all more than covered the ammo, happy daze

Certainly made me chuckle about the immigrant

Your a lucky man having a place like that to shoot, even if you didn’t get anything the scenery would make up for it.

Aye indeed, I was watching a sparrow hawk defeather a wee bird the other day, just great to be about it without other people. I'm not a people person. 

We always call the black ones immigrants here, canny think why

Isle of Lewis pal, bit barren in winter, the land of sideways rain and backward flying gulls, but I love it. Canny imagine living on the mainland, let alone visit it

As the wife would say "you'd bloody moan about winning the lottery you", and to be honest she's right, if they won't pay me in cash I'd want my quid back

And a serious thank you for the offer, but I think it's against the rules

Just checked your profile and turned green!

We love the west coast of Scotland and have always wanted to move there.

 

Surprised you have a mouse gun in the land of sideways rain!
