Toombsy Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 I had a load of frozen rabbits that needed a good home, so I rung a local exotic animal refuge place to see if they would come in useful for the raptors. Turns out they have a Lynx, and the rabbits are perfect for it. Took them there this morning, loaded them into their huge freezer and after chatting to the owner, it turns out they have got a huge problem with rats who have moved in under all the huts and cages, and basically nick the porcupines', monkey's and lynx's grub. So, even without offering, the owner virtually begged me to come down and shoot the damn things! My shooting life seems to get wierder. Started off on a clay ground, then to standing knee deep in mud on the marsh, then farmers fields, then 6 weeks ago a garden centre poly tunnels overrun with rabbits, and now a zoo! Love it !

30-6 Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Being amongst wild animals, i'd love to see your face if while you were sitting out the guy came up behind you and tapped you on the shoulder, i think your trousers would need a boil wash.

Toombsy Posted November 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Im guessing Hammerton? Nice result though! No - it's a privately owned animal rescue centre housing exotic 'pets'. Popped there for a couple of hours with the air pistol this afternoon, just to get a feel for the place, and had 24 rats. It's absolutely alive with the damn things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchieboy Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Well done on getting permission at the zoo mate, I'll bet there's not that many members have that to their credit. I can see another "Big Cat" thread coming soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
