oowee Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Took an hour to tie up the boat tonight. Hard work. I am on the edge of the harbour 4 boats from the wall. All the ropes out and harbour master took out the hook. Very stressful. 🙁 i hope no one wants to leave early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you think bumpy? The 007 was not quite as good as my ward. But saying that the 008 is a different unit and looks very good. Next on my shopping list for my hmr. Look forward to a full report but I am certain you will be very happy. What ir have you got to go on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got a Solaris laser and it does make it better but the on board is more than good enough for sensible foxing range in deepest darkest Oxfordshire.

FOXHUNTER1 Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 Thanks guys...I will try onboard to start with see what I think and get external if I'm not happy. Only on hmr to start with so ranges close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only on hmr to start with so ranges close. Ive tried a few different extra IR s like EVOs ect, a black sun might help, but the difference between the onboard is minimal. If you want to reach out further you need a Sirius or Solaris laser strapped to the side. 200 yards is a good comfortable range to ID and shoot at with a 008s on board IR, you could spot out much further. At 265 yards in pitch blackness I can read a car number plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bumpy22 Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 My mate who is rfd said they are bringing out a rangefinding 008. That should be some bit of kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumpy22 Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 I had a call of the latest farm I have picked up to say grass has been cut. In the sweltering heat I certainly did not fancy wandering about so left it till about 9 30. Parked the truck under a tree. First fo was spotted by my mate at about 10 30 but went straight down far hedge not presenting a shot. Half hour later one came out of top hedge. Waited for it to come across the field and dropped perfectly by the little t1x again. That's 3 of this new ground in as many trips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WelshMike Posted July 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 Good work all round gents. Mansion duties for the last few days so no shooting Looks like the "argument" that was brewing from last week thanks to a certain lincs based pigeon shooter has all been deleted...no bad thing really. Hopefully I ll get out a couple of times in the next week once the silage is cleared on a couple of farms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOXHUNTER1 Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 Had a call last night from a farmer who had just had a hen taken by a fox at 6.30pm. I said I would have a look but very limited due to all the fields being in crop , I set myself up on top of the hen house but it never returned . I went for a wander as needed to stretch my legs and came across this cub laid down just looking at me , only 20 yds away and totally unconcerned . 1st cub of 2019 for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
