1st look

[FOXHUNTER 5,020]

Well I eventually got the ok to have a look out on a new permission for some rabbits as the farmer now has his stock indoors. I invited my mate to come with his thermal and nv but said he was busy so on my own I went , his loss. How come people are desperate to go shooting and then when you invite them they say NO.... On arrival it was freezing and a slight breeze with a lot of rabbits about . These rabbits haven't seen a lamp so sat lovely but the ground was the wettest I think I have ever walked over , absolutely sodden. I squelched about making loads of noise so was picking rabbits off at around 50 to 70 yds. The ground is only about 50 acres but surrounded by grouse moors so plenty bunnies I ended up on 58 . On the way home over the moors the temperature dropped to -1c at one point. Rabbit with no ears ......

How the feck you carry all them

Made it a worthwhile evening, nice one

I carry them in my game bag , it's hard work . Have to keep making piles at gateways and a few trips back to car

You need to eat some wetabix. And drink iron brew

good shooting mate 

[FOXHUNTER 5,020]

Funny thing is I just spoke to my mate who was busy , turns out 3 of them went to this amazing piece of ground and shot 12 rabbits so I had great pleasure in telling him should have come with me

Yes mate Ruger 77/22    .22lr.  Even though it's a silenced .22 it sounded loud last night , think its because there was no wind and right out in the sticks. Couldn't use HMR there as it would wake the whole valley up

It serves you well Mark, if you’re using Winchester subs, the last ones I had were noticeably louder. I think they were barely subsonic. I’ve been using eley’ s recently, seem a fair bit quieter.

Yep Winchester subs , they do seem louder , some sounding like high velocity. Once these are used think might try Eley next

Yeah 1 in 5 seems to crack like H.v now ,quality control seems to have slipped a bit .

[Sausagedog 7,381]

I tried some cci Monday in the little 457 and the odd one was super.

Don't matter none really.

What do you do with them all FH ? Do you have an outlet ? The game dealer by me was desperate for rabbit, he was paying £2 for ferreted or head shot . 

[foxdropper 17,092]

If only they were about mate .

Decent bag again Mark .Might seem trivial but takes a dedicated lad to carry a bag full of rabbits and keep shooting plus trips back to the van ..
