Slinky 3!

[FOXHUNTER 5,021]

I have a .17 HMR but it is rarely used. It is defo a marmite calibre , I have seen it perform really well but on other occasions perform poorly. I have only shot half a dozen foxes with it , some dropped on spot but others ran. I have also shot rabbits and hares with it that weren't dead . If I am going rabbit shooting I take the .22LR and only take the HMR on spots where  I might meet Charlie...

Well done SD!

However i have to point out that to qualify for the title slinky it has to be at least an eleven page saga of missed opportunities.

Whether those missed opportunities are self inflicted or the result of a particularly cunning adversary are also to be taken into account.

I am sure you understand that we simply cannot bestow the title slinky on every lamp shy but otherwise ordinary fox we encounter during our post sunset ramblings.

So in summary if your or anyone elses "slinky" hasn't shown any traits of extraordinary cunning, or what can only be described as a sixth sense it just simply cannot qualify for the prestigious title of slinky.

All encounters with the prospective candidate, however brief must be recorded in full here. The membership as a whole will then decide whether or not to award the title slinky. I am afraid it is the only way or we will shortly be inundated with inferior slinky's.

To be honest. I have sat on the wet ground waiting for her a few times. I have called her in only to light her up and she about face and disappear at lightning speed. Up at the chicken sheds all hours just to get a millisecond of eyes. I have played a lot of dice with this one!

I do hope the panel will show favour

@Foxhunter are you sure the rabbits weren't dead and jumping around through nerve impulse? I've seen rabbits travel 10 yds down a hill side from their shot point by nerve impulses jumping for @ 5-10 seconds after being shot. On examination, the skull and brain was missing leaving no chance of the animal being alive. Seeing the devastation hmr can do I can't conceive of a rabbit being wounded by one except with a very unlucky shot. It's often the ones headshot with no brain that hop. Presumably the removal of the brain fires stored electrical impulse down all the nerves. The ones bodyshot often drop, stretch out slightly through nerves and then lay frigid. The only way I can conceive of HMR injuring a rabbit would be if it got shot in the back leg, extreme rear abdomen or tail by a flyer / unlucky wind gust. It might be a mouse calibre but it's like being hit by a freight train of hydrostatic shock to a rabbit sized target.
