bobcullen79 1,495 Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 Hey All.. Well after getting a pup a few months back its been pretty hard to get near anything, if my russell didnt yap when the catty came out, I had normally one hand tied with the lurcher pup on her lead. Why is it the perfect shot always presents itself when we`re unable to take it? Yet some days you can walk all day, half drawn and see nothing Any way me and my pal were out walking the dogs, heading for home, the two terriers were bushing away when a grey silhouette caught my eye - A Woody about 25ft away and 13ft up a leafless sycamore tree. Trying to relay in some sort of anti-spook code with my eyes, speaking out the corner of my mouth what I`d seen to my pal, I passed the dog lead to him and managed to get my catty out, all the time, the Woody looked nervous, its head bobbing. Taking a handful of steps backwards, I managed to get a clear line of sight. I drew back my little home made job and whack! The pigeon was dead before it began falling, however my happiness was short lived as it fell the other side of a 8ft boundary wall. I pulled myself up for a look and sure enough it was dead at the base of the wall.. Well as far as I was concerned, that was my prize on the floor and I wasnt letting it go to waste. So, quick as a fox with size 11 steel toe-cap wellies on, I was over the wall, pigeon in pocket and away. Funny what puts a smile on your face.. Double 25mm straight cut asda bands, 9.5mm steel bearing on a european Beech fork. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Longers7 720 Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 Nice one Bob! I love it when you spot a woodie and your trying to get catty out pocket, whilst trying not to spook it off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobcullen79 1,495 Posted December 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 Yeah its quite rare for me Its a race to get it out my pocket before the terriers come back to see what Ive stopped for. The pat is fine, she dislikes air rifles, but the russell, arghh, I could rip handfuls of my hair out sometimes.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
