If i am going to pull the plug and get one Leo I would opt for top of the range binoculars,and there's new models coming out often making older versions even older by six months obsolete,i will wait till something catches my eye. 1 Quote Link to post

Same on my mooch about this morning at first light not one rabbit though numerous hare's and a trio of roe and loads of pheasant and partridge that makes me wonder if the keeper's still catch pheasants up for the eggs off them also a distinct lack of grey squirrels only shots i got off were at magpies that I missed as I can't bring myself to shoot hare's with a catty despite seeing a few very close this morning. 2 Quote Link to post

Two were running about bucking and came past me and stopped about 11 yards away as I was stood still on an hedge side. There not as flighty when they are bucking as the one in the pic got up and ran a few yards then stood on it's hind legs before it casually trotted off. Even though I miss having a dog on my mooches I know i wouldn't have got as near as i did to the hare's I did this morning and the roe. 3 Quote Link to post
