ollie Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 We had our first syndicate shoot on Saturday, great weather and a great showing of birds. We were just trying to get the groups of birds split a bit and take a few birds. We ended up with 7 pheasants & 1 Woodcock. I forgot my camera so no photo. We were finished up quite early so we headed off to a farm which are having quite a problem with feral pigeons. So 3 of us spread across the farm yard and had a good couple of hours sport. Final total not sure of as we dropped a few birds on barn roofs, but it was in the region of 30 or 40. On Saturday night we decided to go out for a spot of lamping. A mate of mine has never shot a fox with a centrefire rifle so I told him I would take him out some night and break his duck. We had been out quite a while and only saw 1 fox when we spotted 2 on a hillside, the closest 1 about 130 yards away, he took his time and sent the 55gr v-max home. A nice vixen. We went on about another mile and spotted another fox at approx the same distance as the last one. So as my mates tail was up I let him take the shot, unfortunately he missed on this occasion. However, when he went to eject the case the spent case never came out, so as I didn't have a cleaning rod with me that was our night done. As we were heading home we spotted another 3 foxes which we could have had a shot at . We then went out today with hounds to do a couple of bits of cover near our syndicate. This vixen that my mate shot gave us quite a run around, but we got her eventually. All in all a good weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
