Typical weather

[millsy44 72]

As i said yesterday, id get up to my cattle farm permission if the weather was nice...........well it was ok............until i got to the farm that is, literally just loaded the Mag and the heavens opened up Right, thats me sitting in the car until it stops, i drove round to the big barn and parked up outside, doves everywhere inside, escaping the rain, only problem is the air ranger is 177 and if the pellet over penetrates the doves......... then the cows will be gettin wet so i sit and have a fag.....as you do , i decide to have a quick zero inside one of the empty barns, most of the grain has been sown now so i have some room to play with

Zero seems fine so i go and sit back in the car

when a few doves again shuffle into sight along the steel beams, this gives me the chance to put a daystate heavy through them, with the steel girder as a safe back stop One down, two down, three down all falling in with the cows, i dont need to worry about retrieving them as les (farmer) just tells me to leave them and either the cats will get them or he will when he mucks out and feeds tonight, only bad thing is that those three wont make the photos lol anyway, i pull round to one of the smaller barns and theres a nice fat woodie sat on the roof, maybe 30 yards at a push, window down.....thwack, down he tumbles, all the way to the floor. Retrieve him and sling him in the footwell

The rain is easing off so im going to have a walk round the outsides of all the barns, 2 more woodies meet their maker and 4 doves, both woodies stuck on the roof, and 3 of my 4 doves nearly made it off the roof but got stuck in the guttering, so having shot 3 woodys and 4 doves all i managed to retrieve was one of each

Theres more doves to be had, but les and his son are starting to muck out and feed so i leave them in peace and set off home.

 

The gun has been fully stripped AGAIN!! and if im lucky i might get to use the ranger on a day where we have no rain before i have to go back to work!! haha
