andy s410c 61 Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Arrived at the burn for 9:30am greeted to springlike weather 11c,no wind & sunshine .On the way over to the land seen a dozen or so rabbits trying to pair off with the usual bickering from the bucks .Did a 10 holer in the top field,1 in the bag.Moved down to do the usual sets at the bottom embankment,bagged 1 from the tree set. Did a couple more sets on the way back up the bank,no one at home must be enjoying the sunshine .I did the sets in the cottage garden & bagged 1 more,i had a bite to eat & watched the world go by in the beautiful Weardale countryside,reflecting on a busy season,not big bags by all means but just being out regular due to being out of work at the moment . End of day photo Well roll on May to get out with the gun,by then the young ones should have grown nicely Quote Link to post
Malt 379 Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Nice one Andy! Hasn't been a season of decent bags with us either, but then it never is round here. At least you're getting out there mate. Quote Link to post
pencoed hunter 7 Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Nice pictures. When will the season start back up end of September? I'm going to try get out on Sunday see what's about then stop until next season Quote Link to post
BEARINATOR 2,872 Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Cracking pictures Andy, Pencoed hunter the season should start back up at the end of september unless there is still too many young ones about or the famer is getting plagued by them then get out there and do it for pest control although there is more lie ups with young to ground but it's worth the digging to keep the farmer happy Quote Link to post
stealthy1 3,964 Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Nice one Andy, I'm out for a scout about tomorow, see what happens, just having the guns serviced now for the swap over to sniping season, just trying to squeeze a few more in the freezer to see me through the Summer.
