Mentalmac Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Hi all, Got up at 5:30 so I could pick up my mate and take him shooting - got to my permission at 6:00 and as soon as light enough to see I managed two rabbits for a quick walk by the car and then it was my friends go (once he had had his coffee and woken up enough - I assured him that coming out in the morning would be good for him) Then we spotted a rabbit moving around a long walk away and my friend stalked in very well and managed to get comfy in a Kneeling position and take the shot at 120 yards and nailed it - perfect shot. I captured this image of him walking back with the sun behind him on his way. Here's the final bag after a quick hours mooch around and morning frosty walk, a real lovely morning.

Mentalmac Posted February 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Thanks mate :-), I love the morning - a great time when nobody else locally is up so it is nice and quiet and seeing all the wildlife coming out is great. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkield Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Having elected to not to go out this morning I was gutted when I drew the curtains and saw the weather, would have been great one even just for a walk. I agree that first picture is excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalconFN Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Thanks mate :-), I love the morning - a great time when nobody else locally is up so it is nice and quiet and seeing all the wildlife coming out is great. :-) Totally agree. Not only that but if you shoot early you can be back home for coffee by 9am so you don't miss out on time with the family. Nice pix too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that but if you shoot early you can be back home for coffee by 9am so you don't miss out on time with the family. Nice pix too Definitely :-). The mrs don't mind me being out in the morning at all, infact she likes it - she gets more room in bed to do her starfish impression and I come back in a good mood ready to be happy with the kids :-) Nice to get out in the early morning, glad you had a good start to the day.
