Headed out last night, rolf weighed 1lb 5.4, spot on. on my own due to mate having to work this next day ( i know ). due to not having a multiple kills in ages, and being so bloody cold (-2 in car) i decided to do a farm that i hadnt done in a while.wasnt the darkest of ngihts, no cloud cover andjust under half a moon. i wanted a good nights hunting and there aint no better place so of i went. arrived at farm and was hunting for 10:30. first spot i done was a little corner of rough cover, had one out of here the last time i lamped it. got there and had a great flight at a rabbit with a white collared marking, rolf dived into it, but missed. ive seen this rabbit a few times now, ill have it soon lol. so climbed into the first field, seen a rabbit onlong a ditch, it was a slightly slopped field, and i was at the muddy part, so didnt walk it up, just let rolf take a long slip, a good 150 yard flight, with the rabbit making its escape through a gate. looked up the feild to see about half a dozen rabbits, but by the time i got anywhere near them, they had gone. crossed next into a little small field, seen a rabbit about 30 feet from cover. got along the fnechline and lsipped rolf, didnt think he had a chance, but managed to catch it just as it was approaching the fench. a lovely headshot too, not something rolf gets too much on the lamp. next was another small field, but made the mistake of slipping rolf before climbing the fench, had a great flight, musta been about 200 yards, but missed the rabbit, then it headed to the ditch i was behind, kept the beam on the rabbit, and out of nowhere rolf appeared, but couldnt light up the rabbit for that cruitial moment due to the dicth. if i crossed the fench i may have been able to. next flight was in the smae feild, not a very long one, but did miss it, got up again, to yet miss it again lol. next field i seen 3 rabbits near a large budle of windbushes, but by the time i had climbed teh rickety fnech they were gone lol. headed up the field to see a rabbit sirtting well out. done an arc around it to get into a good position. it was a squatter! got about 20 feet to it and of rolf went, as always the rabbit outsmarted us, and ran a different direct. he headed further up the hill, with rolf in hot pursuit. it was approachign another ditch, just as it was getting up to it, rofl nailed it. another headshot! I had only been here for about 20 minutes so decided to go for the hatrick. climbed over the ditch to the next field, and there was a few rabbits but all hugging the hedge, musta heard the rabbit rolf caught. didnt get a single flight from them. headed to the end of the field and spotted yet another squatter! got slightly uphill from it and headed back to it, got about 20 feet to it and stomped by foot, off it went, rolf striekd but missed, it turned and headed for a hedgrow at bottom of field, but before it got there rolf grabbed it. gettiong boucned all over the place i ran like the hammers to help him, but it was to later, the bugger got off, it then crossed the corner of the field to a different ditch and rofl was in hto pursuit, it was jsut about to go under a run under and fench and rolf nailed it! bigofa tummble, but managed to secure it for him. that was it, the hatrick! and in 30 mins lol. was over the moon and gave him a good feed up and headed home. few pics from tonight.
