THE GOATS.

[Frank]

Finished off the last of the cull this morning, with 18 fat, farmers grass fed goats.

 

I had a good position to start with, above on the hill, over looking the herd as dawn broke.

My trusty Zeiss 7 x 50 Jenoptems picked out the goats in hardly any light, with ease, i was well impressed.

 

I chose my target and sqeezed off a round at an anormouse billy,(pic bolow) my biggest trophy so far.

I took out a further 9 as it got light and then went down and done the gutting :o .

 

Moved on after ringing the farmer to tell him to get the tractor ready

 

Took out another 8, over a period of 20 odd mins, one being a head shot at 103 yds , spectacular to say the least, i got to see the eagles do their worst in the scope.

 

Their is 3 left, but they ran like hell for the hill and watching them threw the binoculars, they did not look like they were coming back.

 

I got payed my fee and was thanked genorously with a traditional Irish Fry Up.

 

Thats it for the goats now, i left 2 feamales and a billy, if they breed over the next few years and become a pest again, ill be back

 

 

Second trophy and a nanny.

 

The 103 head shot.

The picture is as you see it mate, i have done nout to it .

 

The ammo is below, they might make it .222, ask around if they do, im not sure.

They can move at a fare speed,but not as fast as a lurcher.

Some fellas do use lurchers and terries to track and run them down, then use a shotgun at close range with buck shot to finish them off

 

Personally, i prefer my .223.

 

Good shooting Frank :o

 

Cheers miffy.

 

Looking farward to some july fox shooting now.

 

 

as always mate some great shooting and great pics , very well done to you,

Good work.

For what its worth I recon the CF rifle is a more humane way than the shotgun or the dogs.

Hubertus

 

Thanks very much Hubertus.

 

Im afraid my pics are not as good quality as yours, as yours are excellent, but i was in a rush to get things done and in the thick of it. :o Plus the morning was very dull and gray. Luckily though, no rain.

 

I will try and get my pics sorted soon and get to know how to use this digital,camera for once and for all.

Cheers,

Frank.
