Got my 1st permission

[Budaholic 0]

As said in my intro post, I'm just getting back into shooting after a long time out.

 

Finally got round to creating my own personal permission forms and decided to start hunting down those elusive permissions.

Picked my daughter up from a party at a small local 9 hole golf course late at night and couldn't believe the number of rabbits there was!

 

Next day, visited with my brother (also into air-rifle hunting) with my permission form and insurance details in hand and couldn't believe my luck when the owner said yes. Awesome, 1st opportunity was a positive response. Well made up

 

It's only about 20 acres but absolutely teaming with rabbits. Lots of good stalking opportunity with undulating fairways and dense bramble cover.

 

First trip out will probably be this Saturday evening with my brother, I'll let you all know how we do.

 

Really excited and can't wait to bag a few bunnies. I took a few photos and shot a couple of video clips, I'll post a link when I've figured out how to upload them.

Well done mate, doesnt matter how small it is, it's what's on the land that counts. Happy hunting

Brilliant news pal, Im really made up for you.

 

It sounds like a hell of a permission that.

 

I'm really looking forward to reading how you get on with your brother this weekend pal.

 

Good luck.

Thanks for all your replies guys....

 

Not sure why clips won't play, they work for me. Maybe have to Right Click and Save as?

Hi guys, well 1st trip out on my 1st perm was a success I'd say.

Was only out for 3hrs from 7 - 10pm and stalked and bagged 4 of the critters. All clean headshots

 

It was made difficult by a couple of other hunters out though, a couple of foxes were patrolling the perimeter and ruining a lot of my opportunities.

 

Couple of littluns I know but LO strongly expressed he wanted no discrimination with regards to age or size, "I want rid of all the little buggers" I think he said.

 

Unfortunately one had 1st signs of mixi, but brought home 1 good eater, that's my lunch sorted today.

I think I'll pop over again mid week and attempt to bag a couple more, addictive this sport isn't it?

Had another couple of hours out today just before dark, bagged another couple of small ones, perfectly places head shots. Although the 2nd rabbit kept doing backflips for what seemed like about 15 - 20 seconds, then it eventually lay down dead

The foxes are gonna prove to be a real pain on this shoot. Was only out 2 hours today and spotted 3 of the beggars chasing my rabbits!!
