Last mooch of 2012

Popped out this afternoon to see if I could bag my final squirrel of 2012 as haven't had a shot at them for a while.

 

Shooting like a fanny I missed the first 2 :mad: and thought that my luck wasn't in as the wood was very quiet.

 

Anyway eventually I spied another that ran along the branch of a tree which I am glad to say I bagged :D

I ended up in a little copse which once again was quiet of squirrels but as it was getting near dusk I tucked myself into a rotten tree and waited to see if any pigeons would come in to roost.

 

I had a good half an hours sport managing to drop 8 out of a possible 11 so pretty chuffed with my shooting as I haven't shot any pigeons all year...

 

Nearly dark and I spotted a squirrel emerge at the top of a tree a good 50 yards away , I shot and the squirrel was hit but clinging on for dear life , it took another 2 shots for it to release its grip and fall to earth.

 

So my final 2 squirrels of 2012 which takes this years tally to 153.

I hope next year is as good and everyone on PW has a good New Year with plenty good sport to come for 2013. :yay: :yay: :yay: :yay:

Nice total for the year Mark :good: and some bonus Pigeons.

 

Saw a fox last night just before i got set up and wouldn't call so set off an hour earlier tonite only for it to x the field i was in(2 ova from where it was last nite and an hour earlier) seemed to heading down the hedge to me so didn't call..then it headed off the other way and sat looking at me when i tried calling it.Was 250yds away in a paddock behind some hen sheds...then the wind and rain got really heavy,oh the fun of it.

Shooting Pheasant tomorrow but weather permitting will be back just after dark in a different place to hopefully intercept it.

 

All the best for next year.
