Underdog Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 There I was sneaking along a fence line with a drop on the other side and then below me was a weasel. It was working a mouse in the dry oak and hazel leaves. Turned the scope down to 4x and took a shot when it emerged for a second. It wriggled away mortally wounded, by the blood, but by the time I got around to it had crawled down a mouse hole. Close but no weasel tail trophy! The fresh earth is from my digging! The mouse was it's pray. Being unemployed, again, means only one thing for a country bum like me. Rabbits! U. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 I must confess I never shoot stoats and weasels when the chance arises I find them enchanting to watch .

fenboy Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 I appreciate that fenboy, old keeper taught me, ground nesting birds and all that. I am not knocking those that do blast away I guess as I seldom see them I don't consider that they could be causing a problem , no doubt I would think different if I was looking after a commercial shoot .
