Conygree Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 I had a creep around Monday and normally bunnies are few on the estate but saw plenty - took the mod-410 + the 22 rimmy but most was with the rimmy one bunny at 65m good for me, its great to be out in evenings again. Me too I feel a bit rotton shooting baby bunnies but no probs with squirrels,I think its good to relate to the animal, even after imploding the local squirrel population I like to take them out as clean as possible. I know it may sound daft but I am sure the Buzzards follow me as they know its feeding time after +300 squirrels, I back tracked last week to find a Buzzard eating a pigeon I had shot and left as a set up 1 hr earlier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Elvis Posted March 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 I havent seen a squirrel this year on the shoot, we destroyed all visible dreys and there arent any new ones. Im going to get the night gear out and have a go next week for the bunnies., my snake larder is getting perilously low my shoot is in essex and i saw my first buzzard there last trip! saw a big green woodpecker yesterday too.

Conygree Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 I looked up your website - really fascinating. I bought some new 410 carts yesterday the 3" eley seemed a bit limited to went for Remmington 3" - what a pattern on 30m on some card no more squirrel gaps. went into one wood looking for a squirrel to 'volunteer' for a good cause. but the boss phoned to say "where are you" told him I was doing 'community work' - ok see you soon. So a very quick look - found one @ 30 m - smile - bang -brilliant carts , bit expensive. I got back to work in time- bluffed my way out.

pin Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 The pheasants round my way are either clever and know they are safe, or stupid - 2 weeks ago I was shooting crows and over about 30 mins about 20 of them started to slowly make their way up the field to my hide. I was shooting on and off all the time, kept looking at them and they were all just slowly approaching me. I thought they were going to come in the hide and ask for a cuppa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 It's funny you mention the pheasants being smart if being stalked. At work I see loads of them, really close. I always thought they were a bit retarded to be honest, until I started stalking them! It's like they know what you're thinking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
