bigmac 97kt 13,811 Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Me and Andy(zandy01) went to one of my perms so i could show him the ropes we got there for a little after 7pm went and set zero and i show,d him around the farm we saw a few rabbits but the ran off as soon as the beam hit them we then went down to the play area and i showed him what to look for if no rabbits are around so he new that they had been there . We then looked into the field and i lit up a nice rabbit at a bout 150 yards it took off but not back into cover but into the middle of the field so over the fence we went and i lit it up again but this time it was along the fence line so we went a little closer and i sent Andy after it i stayed where i was ind kept it lit up and told Andy what to do . Now Andy has not got a lamp fitted to his rifle yet so i was lamping for him and it worked a treet as the rabbit was so engrossed in watching me it did not see him getting closer he then stopped and lifted the rifle but i say,d get closer as he was still about 70 yards away from it he then got to with in range lifted his rifle again but did not take the shot i was trying to tell him in a quieter voice to shoot the fecker . He then went closer again to about 25 yards by this time the steam was coming out of me ears the rabbit was still sitting watching the red beam then he moved closer again and it took off , I was jumping and went to town on him telling him what he shud of dune and where he went wrong, i was gutted for him as it would of been nice to see him get some thing on his first trip out with me as it tuned out he had left his glasses in the tank(as Daz calls the new 4x4) and i no what thats like so i did feel a bit of a shit but only for a few seconds lol. We saw a few more but could not get close enough to them before they took off so we went back to the tank for a brew and a bite to eat ,then off we went again we came across a fox in the little garden busy eating some thing but could not see what it took off when it saw us and i lit up a rabbit in the hedge line it was sitting watching the fox to but did not see me i went prone lined the shot up and sent a biss mag on its way and it rolled back into the brambles i went over but it was just out of reach so i lent over the fence a bit more and pulled it out Andy said did you hear the crack as it hit the rabbit it was a nice shot to in the kill zone and out the other side the crack was the pellet hitting the tree on the other side. Well not much was about after that so it was the only one that we got and Andy said he enjoyed him self i hope he did as he is more than welcome to tag along again and i hope he learned some thing to DONT LEAVE YOUR GLASSES IN THE TANK NEXT TIME as it shud of been two in the bag. Sorry lads no photo this time but i gave Andy the rabbit any way . atvbmac 1 Quote Link to post

zandy01 3,575 Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Fantastic write up as usual Mac, had a fantastic night even though I was a complete pleb and left me sodding glasses in "the tank"... I thought it was a little misty last night when I looked back at you but now realise it was the steam coming from your ears Honestly can't thanknyou enough for taking me and teaching me Mac, there's so much to learn but given time and effort I will make you proud... Gotta praise BigMac for all his efforts in helping me and tell you all the way he took that rabbit out was fantastic, i observed and tried to take in his movements and actions step by step trying to plant things in my mind, then the sudden sound of the crack, I instantley knew Mac had bagged the bunny - well done Mac Absolutely loved the night and can't wait to go again, I come home grinning from ear to ear, ok I never bagged a bunny but being on Macs perm and having him teach me and actually being out hunting was more than enough to make me happy... Looking forward to the next outing Thank you Mac 2 Quote Link to post
