andy s410c 61 Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Finally finished at the powerstation so it's back to ME time for a while .Arrived at the bottom quarry for 9'ish greeted to a bright sky & occasionally gusty N/W breeze.Checked my zero @ 30yds 2 nice 10 shot groups in the prone position...now off to administer some lead earings out .Mooched round to the lime kilns as i came to the end 2 rabbits pop up out of the undergrowth,10 yd snap shot...missed .I dropped into some cover within 10 mins, rabbit back out & AA Field connects with the napper ..nerves settled. I headed of to the quarry wall via the top field,nowt on there just as was entering the gate a stoat popped up in front of me,i stood still & he got within 4 ft of me he could smell me i think as his tail was shaking around but the old realtree kept him guessing till i moved & off he shot . I pulled up a sniping position on the wall & waited for bugs to show after a couple of hours i bagged 4 with one good shot(IMO) ...bugs sitting tight on a ledge some 40yds or so away,touch of holdover,pellet in the napper & a spectacular dive off the quarry wall with a satisfying thump some 30ft later....manged to bag 2 on the last legs with myxi further around the quarry bottom :sick: . I headed up to the top quarry to have a look to see how the myxi was getting on up there managed to bag 3 off the quarry wall & only seen a couple with myxi but i could'nt get close enough to put them out of their misery.Anyway left with 8 healthy 3/4 grown rabbits so perhaps the myxi has did it's worst & will leave the rabbits for the ferts & me this winter .. Can't fit the pic of the other 3 rabs on not enough KKKK Quote Link to post
