chrismdd 787 Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Got back from the late night food shop and decided I had time for a quick mooch with the lamp. Set off in the truck just before nine and was parked up and on the move just after.Went to the fields we ferreted last Sunday and stayed up near the top hedge that we haven't ferreted yet. First rabbit was out in the stubble some sixty yards away so off with the lamp and walked forty yards up the hedgeline before putting the lamp back on. He hadn't moved much so kept the lamp on him and got to about 25yds away before dropping him with a nice clean shot. Continued round the stubble fields but although there were a fair few about the still air and walking across the stalks made it a bit too challenging.So headed back to the truck and crossed the road to try the top stubble field. Again a fair few were out right out in the middle of the field so off with the lamp and again walked along the hedgeline hoping that they would head that way for safety. Back on with the lamp and three were in range. Got down on the shooting sticks and fired off the AA Field, unfortunately this was not a clean shot as the pellet clipped a stalk on route so a quick second shot was needed to drop him.Continued all the way round the field and managed to take one more with a single clean shot. The mist was starting to drift in and the ground was becoming damp with dew so decided to call it a night with three nice bunnies and I was back home just after ten so a nice short session. 4 Quote Link to post

chrismdd 787 Posted October 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 Yes, its the final match on the river and currently I'm top of the overall standings for the combined river and lake matches, and just two points off the lead for the rivers only trophy. Our specimen cup for this year is the best chub so I may go all out to win all three if I draw a good peg. Pencilled in on the calendar for ferreting next Sunday and I also have permission from her indoors to also ferret the following Sunday as she's having a days' Christmas shopping on the Saturday. Just been given some more permission nextdoor to the land we ferreted last Sunday so should be good if weather is okay. Quote Link to post
