ftm 3,357 Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 just got back from a canny day out lads.the keeper had rung me last night to ask if i fancied a muck about for vermin with him. well as you know lads you dont like to say no![lol]it was a damp cold start to the day so decided to look for charlie with the dog the keeper positioned himself at the end of a wood and i walked the wood with the dog put a few hares up then heard the big gun go off so i thought charlie must have shown himself ahead of me when i caught up with the keeper a dog fox lay at his feet so 1st job done perfectly . a few of the deer stalkers turned up and the keeper said his farwells to me and told me which woods to walk without disturbing stalkers ,i set off with the rapid 7 in hand and a hare cametowards me and stopped 25 yds out i put the cross hairs on him and fired he died on the spot i hung it up on a branch to pick up later,the next wood proved a good one and i took 3 squirrels in quick succession [all bucks] it went quiet after that so i picked up the hare and headed back to keepers house for a chat and an invite next saturday so if im not grafting i will be there and let yous know how i get on pics will follow tomorrow lads as dog need feeding Quote Link to post
