reaper1064 285 Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Woke up at 4 this morning, looked out of the window to see a light drizzle and thought what the hell. Got to my permission and was happy to see some activity, looks like the bunnies didn't mind the rain after all. Bagged one and the others legged it, couldn't be bothered to hang around so had a mooch round a small wood. Shot two woodies but one dropped into the gorse bush from hell. The crow was just waking up so I put him back to sleep. Over all a bloody good few hours. Beats early morning T.V. Down side to all this is, I have recently got hold of a .177 R10 and now been fully converted ( or perverted depending on your views ). 1 Quote Link to post
