Mountain hares.

I had a fantastic day out looking for hares on saturday with two good friends from work. We struggled to get close enough for a shot to begin with but once we got a bit higher where it was windier they sat a bit better. Neither of my friends have had much experience with guns so I said once we were in range of a hare just shoot sitting and not to bother with any running. We then went on to have some great stalks. Ross bagged his first hare after a long stalk and successful shot then it was Billy that put a hare in the bag after a long hike to get around the other side to get the wind on our faces. We spotted another but to get up to it Billy had to crawl flat on his belly for a long way, when he got up to shoot he bagged his hare then turned and bagged another that we hadn't seen, to say he was delighted was an understatement. I am heading away next month for some stalking so I had my 6.5x55 for a bit of practice and managed to shoot a couple too. We saw a lot of hares and also a few grouse which was good as I saw no grouse when I was out on the glorious 12th.
