WelshMike Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 I headed over to a couple of permissions last night just to make sure all was well. I was surprised to find a decent number of corvids at one of the farms so decided an early morning foray before work was in order. Not sure that this was a good idea when the alarm went off at 3.50 a.m but up and out anyway. Arrived and set up at 4.45 a.m just as the crows were starting to move about. A bit of good initial interest but then slow and steady for the next couple of hours. Packed up at 8.00 a.m with 29 mixed corvids. Now for the brucey bonus.....at 5.20 a.m whilst happily watching the world go by I spotted a fox trotting up the hedge line about 15 yards away. I decided to greet her with 30 grams of no 6 in the side of her head. That put pay to her journey home. I also shot a rabbit that ventured a little close so all is all a good few hours and some enjoyable shooting. Thanks for reading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 Nice going Mike.I did exactly the same a few years ago. Shooting Corvids from a hide, a Fox walked past within 20 yards. One round of #5 shot, put paid to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxwell Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 Loving the Brucey Bonus Mike, that alone made the early start acceptable, well done on the corvids to mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
