Home to roost!

[secretagentmole 1,701]

Well it was a pleasant evening so I thought I could kill two birds with two pellets and decided to head for the woods again. Now the leaves have left the trees it is easier to see them but more difficult to get close. They were already at roost when I got down there, so trying to stalk up to them, I spooked them. Expletive uttered. I got through to the far side and stood under a roost tree, flutter, flap, flap, one landed in the tree in front. I am in plain view, so either I have turned invisible or it was blind as I was able to line up fire and obtain a kill.

 

I walked back to the back of the wood where I left the gun bag, dropped the pigeon off and walked back to the trio of firs, standing underneath them a pigeon came in landed and stared at the SR12, always a mistake! Fired, another one in the bag. Back to the gun bag and I dropped it off. Walked to the laurels and I saw a familiar silhouette, now the magic protection of leaves and seasonal protection have evaporated into the mist I aimed and fired. A nice cock pheasant hit the deck.

 

Looks like game stew tomorrow!

Never hit a magpie yet, crows and jays yes, magpie, no, I will keep trying though.

 

It is nice to have permissions where I am allowed to shoot pheasants.

Nicely done Mike

 

Dropped a Hare and a Woodcock t'other week

 

I've been to this perm as a guest twice now and both times been taunted by a fecking Phezzer in a thicket of bushes and gorse; but could I get a shot off at it? CIF! Saw loads in an adjoining field, but too far and out of bounds

 

Well done and enjoy

Glad you have nice weather, its still p*ssing down here, even the ducks shoot past and warp speed on the rivers

Just those few nice hours yesterday evening, had to laugh, walking down to the woods I scared one rabbit mid track, it shot across into the brambles and the ditch of doom (6 foot deep and full of nettles), SPLASH! Poor old bun had a swimming lesson!
