Stavross 13,736 Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 I have a place that I have shot rabbits and foxes on for many years now, I had a call from the owner asking if I would come and have a look at a little bit of woodland he has planted as the deer are wrecking the trees, now I’m here and it would appear to be roe knocking them over so he has told me to take what I can ( very nice of him ) shame there’s very little time for the bucks, I may have to see if anyone else wants a go, it would be a shame to waste this opportunity, I’m going to have a sit out to see what’s about but I think this could be a first light thing 7 Quote Link to post

David.evans 5,323 Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 First light is always a good time , just getting up at mad hours is par for the course and has to be done , and with the evenings drawing in so quick, dawn is probably the better opportunity, just take plenty of tea mate , lol and if there’s a invite coming up , as long as my diesel is payed, there’s a stake dinner on the table , loads of beer , a comfortable bed , a 100 pound penalty is they don’t show , I might just consider coming up for the weekend only if you ask me very nicely, lol atb stav 6 Quote Link to post
Stavross 13,736 Posted October 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 Well the deer were a no show and to be honest I didn’t expect to see any early evening so I decided to hang around and have a go at the hoppers again, now this is the place where he likes me to leave them for the fox because he thinks they will not bother the ducks if there’s rabbits laying around, 12 was the bag and I left 6 and took the other 6 with me, I have to confess I did miss about 7 but they were all over 150 yards and I was just seeing how far I could push the mouse gun, I did hit one at 156 paces but they could of been a bit of luck involved 7 Quote Link to post
Rimfireboy! 1,463 Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 Missed at 150 yards Stavross? I missed a bleddy squirrel on Monday with the mouse gun at about 20 yards, shooting through the open passenger side front window whilst sat in the drivers seat. How I missed that I don’t know, but I think I was mindful of not hitting the door mirror and it affected my shot. 1 1 Quote Link to post

My success increases dramatically below 30 4 Quote Link to post
