Mentalmac Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Ended up being woken up by the kids at 6am and not able to drift back off, so got my self out of bed and headed down to my perm with my HMR in hand. Sat in car and watched until I could see enough to be able to shoot with natural light and decided time to go and see what's about - wow - -2 degrees and mist and crunch floor etc... Saw a rabbit at about 75 yards and decided to go for it after keeping watch or a while until it was lighter, all the while my fingers felt like they were starting to get frost bite, and my knees from kneeling on the frost were beginning to warm up from warming the frost into water instead, Quick shot and thump and had one in the bag. Ended up not seeing any other rabbits, saw some pigeons but didn't have my shotgun and watched a fox walkin up an down the hedge but wasn't the right side of hedge (could see him through the branches) plus Essex police don't allow HMR for fox, so he is free for another time. All in a a beautiful morning and a pleasure to see the world waking up again. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentalmac Posted January 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Haha cheers chaps, that fox is definitely on the to shoot list - shame it wasn't my side of hedge, otherwise my temptation would have taken a real test... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexl Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Lovely pictures there, could sit with a coffee looking at a view like that for hours. I love a cold crisp morning, with a light crunch underfoot, its stunning just as the sun comes up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
