Have you had them long or bought recently if you don’t mind me asking? My pal bought a brick of the 42’s at a similar time as me and they were shite as well. I think he said he’d moved onto rws now. I’m on SK’s at the moment and they’re spot on. The old blue box winnies were good though. I probably bought them just a few months ago 1 Quote Link to post
Stavross 14,636 Posted March 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 Well it was looking like a boring evening, just had a phone call from a mate telling me there’s rabbits and hares all over the place ( farmer’s millions) so a trip out with the HMR is on the cards now, he said he’s sick of chasing people off the front fields so he wants them gone, not sure how I’m going to explain to the hares that they will be ok if they stay on the back fields away from the road 1 1 Quote Link to post

Watched shelduck and the larks. Photographed a chiffchaff and shot a squirrel. I went out Friday night also. Cream crackered. I'm stopping in now and may get up merely to talk to a jackdaw on my chimney but that's it. Well, might go out Sunday afternoon Zzzz Edited March 19, 2022 by Sausagedog 1 Quote Link to post
Stavross 14,636 Posted March 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 Well, not a bad walk out, 12 rabbits and 2 hares, I took the hares off the front field as he asked me to do, I counted another 16 around the back of the farm but I don’t like shooting them if they are going to go to waste, I kept 4 of the rabbits for fox bait, the little HMR did the job with the nightsite on ( I know most people don’t like them but it works, I was thinking of getting rid of it and getting a pard but haven’t made my mind up yet) should of had a few more but the moon was a nightmare 4 Quote Link to post
