just got back

[davyt63 1,845]

hi every one

just got back from a trip to my nearest permission an old farm house, not a working farm any more.

so i decided to take the HW100 .177 out for a trip and do a bit of lamping.i got there about 7:30pm and got me self set up,and headed in to the front field gave the lamp a quick flick but nothing.

 

but as i made my way to the north side of the field via the hedge row,i had a quick flick again and there was 3 bunnys out,so slowly down on one knee and cross hairs on target THWACK! THWACK! THWACK! i went to pick them up but only found one i knew i should have waited for them to come a bit further out from the hedge as the other 2 must have kicked them selfs back in to the hedge and down there hole!

 

any way i made for the telegraph pole to set up a snipers point, and sat and waited must of been an half hour before the next target came out it was about 35/40 yds,again right on the hegde row about 2 feet away THWACK! it done a good back flip as i done the follow through this time,but when i went to pick it up nothing there

 

so while i was here i had another flick and spotted 2 about 50 yds so started to crawl towards them, lined them up THWACK! THWACK! i didnt hang about htis time and went straight over to them, both dead as stone but i did notice that it was a neck shot must have went straight through its spine.hence the reason for the others kicking away

 

so sorted that out, and headed to the back garden and lamped another 2

 

here is a pic

 

 

 

so in total i had 5 bunnys in the bag and a good couple of hours out,on a lovely evening

 

and this is a group photo

 

 

 

happy hunting

Well done buddy, one of mine did an amazin jump when I hit it today!

I've seen em jump, but to launch 6 feet from standing well sitting was amazing to see!

One of mine was a fat bugger as well. Its the biggest I've shot so far, skinned it and its still a fair size

Something similar, pellet ricocheted and twatted bunny on nogin, just enought energy to rattle its brain but not enough to break skin. The impact had enough energy to kill (through shock I think) but it also seemed drunk.

Another time was when a rabbit ran up to a railway sleeper that was used as a fence post and stopped, my mate shot it three times, and it just sat there looking at us, I said his gun was crap and shot it 3 times my self, and it just sat there, I was gobsmacked When we went to have a look at this bullet proof rabbit, we found it had ran onto a six inch nail
