first shotgun and first walk on first permission

[unlacedgecko 1,466]

hi guys

been skulking on the forum for a while now, listening and keeping shtum (two ears, one mouth and all that). followed the advice at the top of the forum, and filled out my shotgun app 4 weeks ago. although the website said 8-10 weeks for a response i got mine back on friday. on saturday i was down my local gun dealer, picked up an as new 3 shot 3" escort semi auto. i know they have had a bad press on here in the past, but its mossy oak real tree so i couldnt resist. i have also been trying my hand at rabbit snaring following woodga's video. the farmer that i have been snaring rabbits for has given me permission for the rest of his farm. had a walk about tonight, more of a recce than anything. took the gun tho, and got a half grown buck rabbit. that will do for the tea tomorrow. i was on my way home when i saw a fox cub crossing the headland. there is a small shoot on the land, and a sheep farm two field over, so the farmer has a 'zero tolerance' policy. i dropped to my knees in the tram lines and squeaked it in to 10 yrds, then dropped her.

i will put some photos up once i work out how to get them off my phone and onto the comp.

 

ATB Ug.

 

ps, thanks to dogs-and-natives for teaching me to squeak foxes.
