stealthy1 3,964 Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Yo! airgunners, acting on a tip off from one of the tractor drivers who was spraying on a bit of land I control rabbits on, saw me looking for a dip in quite a big field of corn, in the heat of the mid day sun, but being a bit canny, I'd google earthed the land first, f**k the aimless walking for miles in the heat, technology, love it, still can't work out how to get the gun catalogues to arrive through the letterbox until after the Mrs has gone to work though, if any of you lads have the answer, let me know Right, so I know where it is, shortest walk to it and hey presto! there it is, sat there like an desert oasis. Now ducked down, saw me scurrying towards me goal. It was a hollow of about an acre in size, and about 20 feet deep, and full of brambles and elderberry bushes and nettles, nice if your a rabbit, wonderful if your a visiting winter thrush, but crap to wade round in if your an airgunner wearing lightweights From a crouched position I could see where the rabbits were throwing up soil from their already extensive abode, and the crown green bowling patches where they were dining. I didn't have a lot of time, but I can't resist a look at a new patch, can you? I could see a couple of nice perches to shoot down from on my next visit, while quietly rubbing my hands in a Fagan like manor A rabbit hopped out on my right, and what a stroke of luck I thought, having my HW100KT leaning against the inside of my leg, WHACK! and the rabbit instantly lost its appetite I really wanted to stay until it got dark, but I'd promised to get back early, and I've used up all my excuses for the first half of the year, normally I wouldn't be bothered about a kick in the knackers, but I've had more than my fair share lately, so I bottled it and shot off home Took a couple of pix just to make this post, they're not David Baily's, but you get the drift Keep at them you airgunners! P.S when I got home the Mrs asked me why I was home so early, f**k it, lifes just not fair sometimes 5 Quote Link to post

stealthy1 3,964 Posted June 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Dear Sir, On behalf of Channel 4 Television, may I thank you for your application submitted on behalf of your wife for our new reality show. Also the charming photograph of her you enclosed. Whilst agreeing that she could make a worthy contribution to the program if selected, I would like to point out that the correct title of the series is actually "Fact Hunt". Kind regards Channel 4... Nothing to do with the topic, but it made me laugh anyway Quote Link to post
