secretagentmole 1,701 Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Decided yesterday evening to take the HW100 out for a stroll through the woodland. The pigeon flocks are starting to break up into breeding pairs and I got bored waiting, so I went for a little walk. Coming out of the laurels I saw a decent sized rabbit in the open, and stalked up to a firing position. The wind had dropped to virtually still and was at my back so I could not really get any closer than the 35 metres the rabbit was at. Lifted up two marks, made sure I was steady, the rabbit continued munching away, happily oblivious to a camoed Mole getting into the sitting FT type position. Checked aim, checked breathing, fired and the rabbit rolled over, not even a kick! Picked it up and thought this is a bit heavier than usual. Well got it home, prepared it and gutted and skinned it was 2lb 8 ounces! Not a bad sized bun! I did see a dead kit by the wood and I was lining up a shot on a pigeon when there was a blur and a falcon pushed the pigeon off and sat there regarding me. Feeling in a somewhat charitable mood I got the kit and walked back to the area I saw the falcon and dropped it for the pretty birdy (swine)! Well clears up a dead kit and feeds the birdy, not the escaped Harris hawk though, do not know where that has gone, I have not seen it recently. Quote Link to post

milegajo 595 Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Nice un mole, I been chasing the pujins too but rabbits are more predictable and sporting being that they don't have an aerial advantage... Quote Link to post
