Rabid 1,936 Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 This should make a few of you twisted buggers laugh, it did us. yesterday I moved one of my chicken sheds, and as always is the case we saw about a dozen rats. As always, I went out as soon as it got dark, the rats are always wandering around not too sure what's happened, and I bag up. so, I had been around one side of the pen, only one rat, sat broadside on at 17 yds, no match for the jsb it rolled over in submission. Walked the bottom fence and saw two more, knocked one down with ease, and the second one scurried off up the hedge line in the direction I was heading. Just as I turned the corner, I saw two further up the hedge, I couldn't get a shot, trees and branches in the way, so I manouvered about until I had one in the clear, it soon joined no2, , the other one stuck it's head around a tree stump to look at it's mate, big mistake as the 4th jsb went over to make good contact, this one did a little dance before coming to rest, checked it out and was bang on the money between its eyes. Well I was going up the third side, scanning with the thermal as I walked, BANG ! TWAT ! I had completely forgot we had moved the electric fence line, I've walked this route every night for a year, I knew every hole, bump and branch, then clever nuts went and moved the fence ! I was on my face, my boot (metal toe caps) had hooked in one of the mesh and somehow wedged itself, the gun was also tangled in the net, I was laid on top of it like a beached whale porpoising around, and feeling every hit of the mains cattle charger its connected to, it felt like I was stuck in a mains socket for ten minutes. Jeez that thing has some clout. Finally managed to extract myself and the gun, cursing but also very slightly amused it had got me, I called it a night until I can check the gun over and make sure zero is good. The only thing damaged was my pride, and we've been having a good giggle about it this morning. 2 7 Quote Link to post
chrismdd 787 Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 That can half hurt. Did I similar thing many years ago crawling at night under what should of been a single strand cattle fence, unbeknown to me I put my forehead right onto a lower wire, flash of blue and I was thrown straight back onto my back. Mate just pissed himself with laughter. 1 Quote Link to post

Rabid 1,936 Posted May 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 So it seems like I'm not on my own then. I've had many a good chuckle at folk getting a belt off my fence, bit of karma last night I believe. 1 Quote Link to post
