GSP84 Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 (edited) I bought a new electronic fox caller as on Tuesday night I saw a vixen with 3 cubs so thought I'd try it out this evening... The weather was terrible and I didn't see a single fox :-( I did however see plenty of bunny rabbits, the number have increased significantly around here recently, much more than previous years. I had 15 good hits but the rest went back flipping into oblivion (also known as soaking wet 4ft tall super thick heather) so couldn't be recovered and I had not dog with me :-( Anyone who contributed to my other thread (http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/topic/338433-22-lr-different-noise-levels/), well I can confirm it wasn't such a big problem tonight. I don't think the rabbit in the paddock I was asked to clear had ever been shot at! Not compared to my main permission where they are jumpy as hell.

maxwell Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 A decent bag of rabbits well done, until they associate the gun report with danger they will just sit but they become educated very quickly I find, the numbers have increased here to this year and still seeing very young about, one large field of wheat had been eaten off at least 10' into the field but it is now catching up as I have now removed 128 in the last few weeks with what's left now very wary and now left until harvest as unable get a clear shot off the sticks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshMike Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 Nicely done mate. Its always ironic when you go for a fox and cant find any, clever little blighters. Nice couple of rifles. Is the bottom one an Annie 1517? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSP84 Posted June 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Cheers, wood stocked one is a Annie 1417, plastic stocked one is a .17hmr Sako Quad . Had another good night last night, 30+ pigeon on some freshly planted game cover and another 10 bunnies off the paddock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to get some pics of the bunnies I am shooting but there are so flippin many that by the time I have gutted them I am normally to knackered to take pics. The one farm that has an infestation has yielded, 49, 45,70,39,68 and 46 last night...off to buy some more ammo later. Kepp up the good work bud.
