davyt63 1,845 Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 hi everyone was out today at gainfield in oxfordshire where i got these 4,a long old day but out all the same.sorry about quality of pic,reason for this is when i put the bunnies in me rucksack the blood soaked through on to me camera so had to clean it quick. i hope her indoors doesn't find out otherwise i will be in the dog house .any way gave it a proper clean when i got home and is working fine. got to me permission at 5:45am it was a foggy sunrise and you could still see the bunnies were out, as i pulled up there was about 6 by the fence line these soon disappeared when i got out of me car. as i looked over to where the main warrens were i could see about 12 bunnies running a round, so steadily made my way over but half way there they clocked me and done one.so this gave me plenty of time to get in me sniping position before they came back up, i think i spooked them because it took one and a half hours before they came back up.the first up was a young one but a rabbit/vermin all the same i knew he was just under my zero so had to take it on me first mil dot shouldered the AAS410 mil dot on target THWACK up it goes in the air down dead. and you know I'm sure the adults send out the young to test if its all clear LOL . another couple of hours passed up pops a big buck just its head above the grass having a good look around for its young i suppose so watched it for about 20 minutes before its whole body was up on the grass. it had its back to me so a quick squeak of me lips and its ears up like radars as if to say what was that!! then the next thing it heard was THWACK he didn't even here himself hit the ground out like a light any way the last time i was here i had 3 in the bag in 45 minutes, but they weren't coming up that quick today. another popped its head up and again had to wait quiet a while before it was fully visible, after a while up it goes and straight across in to another hole . then just as i was panning the warrens i spotted a pair of ears so waited for this one to show me the impact zone, it was up and out but the uneven ground was hiding the rest of it .so once again a little squeak, cross hairs locked on right in the zone and THWACK over it went kicking this one was. so had to go and get it before it kicked its way back down,because this ground is like perforated land holes every where . i got the last one just before i decide to pack up and go, a nice 35yd THWACK to the head. i also hit another 2 but could not find them because of the dense holes in the ground and missed 2 by a whisker here are a couple of pics points today 4 total 73 happy hunting davy Quote Link to post

pointer 543 Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 to be honest im a bit annoyed with myself that i didnt follow the rules as id now be on 50 points which wouldnt have been bad going seeing as i didnt start untill the 23rd feb 17 days after this thing started when the leader already had 32 points. before countryboyo rightly pulled me up about rules i was planning a trip or two up the dales with the gun plus the usual ratting next week to make sure i was competetive but i think after looking at all the pics ive posted on here and realizing that NONE are within the rules its a bit much to catch up with a week to go. davy youll win this one easily,but next time im going for it big time so youll at least have one person to compete with.
