Davyo Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) Ben keen to bag his 1st squirrel but unfortunately drew a blank.Made his day by dropping a couple of young rabbits I shot earlier of at the foxes den where we watched the 6 cubs playing for a couple of hours. Sorry about pic quality on the den, taken on my phone. Edited May 3, 2014 by Davyo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davyo Posted May 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) He is comming on canny, already had 2 woodies in the roost and got his 1st rabbit last Autum.Was a bit apprehensive him taking a rabbit but decided after he was contantly putting a 1inch group at 25mtre on paper, i got him sat on the ground with the low tripod sticks.I told him which one to shoot as i had the same one lined up with the rimmy(just in case),but he took a clean shot just between the eye and ear.I smile evertime I pass that spot.Hes a good little talker as well,full of questions,wants to know everthing about rabbits habitats, breeding,also has a fascination with checking inside the crops of woodies after watch me and my mate do it. He is using the new BSA SE ULTRA .22 / BSA moderator. Edited May 3, 2014 by Davyo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul taylor Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Ha ha thats ace. He makes that se look massive! My two are fascinated when I bring kills home, 5 yr old girl loves digging around in pigeons crops too. Both eat rabbit and tried Bambi the other day and liked that too. It's good for them to appreciate eating meat means something had to die and should be respected. atb P.T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
