Just got back. What a shite night. First of all went for a mouch around a couple of orchards close to me with the gun and lamp. First orchard, not a thing second orchard 4 bolted when i first entered, then nothing else. As the ground was easy to see from the snow, I decided to get my new polecat jill out. Took her up there and netted up a 6 holer. Straight down she went then after about 5 mins I had a quick scan with the locator to see where she was and she was still on the move. After about 20 mins she kept coming out of the holes and then everytime I went near her she would rush straight back down again. In the end I managed to get her out and take her home. Think she needs a bit of practice

I gave a thought to lamping but i reckoned the snow would throw the beam of the lamp back ???/

thats the beauty of this weather no real need for the lamp but its bloody cold and every step you take is CRUNCH CRUNCH!! so no stalking

I finally got out this evening :clapper:

 

Only saw about 30 of the furry feckers, happily munching and sitting until I tried to get within range and then it was "Come on bunnies, lets take the P!ss and hop off!" :wallbash:

 

I've decided I dont like shooting in the cold white stuff

 

Only got a good chance at one of them and just as I'd lined up the crosshair, it was

 

"Bip, Bip, BeeBoo" Don't know who was more suprised me or the cotton tail that RiffRaff just warned was about to get a severe headache. :wallbash:

 

Please remind me to put my phone on SILENT when I go hunting
