Cheers Mr TP. Its certainly a weird abnormality apparently caused by lack of nutrients

[MR TEA POT 1,287]

Yes it is a weird looking disease,only seems to affect waterfowl though strange

Are they still on the general licence mon? Has it changed yet there were supposed to be a few alterations this time? I used to love shooting geese with my hmr through the head on a windless evening lol

On a different note just had a call to say all the silage has been cut so cant wait to finish work! Went out yesterday with the 22 and shot a few woodies on clover which was good fun I have never decoyed pigeons with the 22, love the 22lr

Had a look out myself last night, farmer had cut two small fields, shot about thirty rabbits, seen a nice roe buck out on a grass verge and a large dog fox in one of the fields... had a nice surprise on the way back three badgers running down the centre of the road in single file, took awhile to shift out of the way of the motor.

Completely agree Mr TP. Mines a late 70's and has been zeroed once dince ive had it. Its never skipped a beat and is so surprising every time I squeeze the trigger

30 rabbits makes my bag look small then?

Them badgers are like hares when in front of a motor they don't shift? even when you are right behind them?

This warm weathers no good for leaving stuff till next day, it sharp goes off.. Theres far too many rabbits about, compared to previos years. its going to be a good season this year.

[MR TEA POT 1,287]

Your right Ian this weather no good great for being sat out in the field but shot rabbits soon go off........must be a fair few rabbits up your way with the sound of it 30 in a night is good it would take me a fair few nights to get that??

Bloody midges and flies are a pain as well when the weather is hot forever flying round your head ?
