eccles Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) Been out twice since the 1st seen nothing first time and only 1 second time but no shot unsafe. Weather been pants for ages here, Last night forecast was dry but mist likely. Set out from home heading for a relations farm 25 mins away got to half way mist was awful. Did think about turning round but carried on. Got to farm coffee + smoke quite a bit of mist up there. Got rifle etc out through yard walked along track to next gateway on with archer scanned field 300y long 150 wide could not see nothing. Quick scan with red lamp nothing left of in front then pair of eyes on some big straw bails to my right soon as lamp hit it off like a scalded cat. Called for a bit further down nothing then a white lamp on otherside of river long way off think they or he must have had a blinking searchlight. Still don't know why people use strong white for scanning a red nm800 will pick eyes out at a heck of a distance . Called on 1 other field nothing so decided to head to another farm down road. Arrived at mates farm out with kit again walked 50y to gate into field on with Archer scanned nothing. Went through gate walked 40y or so quick lamp on fox in dip 40y off up field it went. called for a bit the monkey came on skyline twice just head showing and no safe shot. Thought going to be 1 of them nights. After a bit walked up to where it was heading called no sign. Turned back down slope to about half way on with Archer to scan field to right pair of rabbit eyes bit to its left a pair of eyes bingo about 400y. Walked down to gateway lucky open down on pod scanned fox still laying up only his head showing at about 200y in some tufted grass gave it a few calls no moving a inch,this went on for about 10 mins. So put crosshairs on it boom heard that solid head sound down it was. Walked over a nice big dog again, think this is 1 iv'e seen a few times but takes off soon as lamp hit him. Next door farm has been chasing 1 on quad and shotgun having lost 27 lambs last year. Have now had permission on his land a few months back he will be happy i'm sure, Edited January 6, 2016 by eccles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
