aga man Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 I was called by one of my farmers at 5pm today to say he was just about to start harvesting a wheat field that has suffered some rabbit damage through the spring. I don't particularly enjoy this sort of thing nowadays due to the dust and chaff etc. Never the less i turned out and showed willing to the farmer as i shoot a fair few pigeons off his land. It was a glorious evening as it turned out and amonst the fleeing rabbits i saw at least 20 wild pheasants and a very nice covey of 10 or so English partridges. The dust on the combine proved too much so i chose to walk along side with my trusty hatsan automagic! After a rusty start i managed 10 rabbits after firing at 13 so not too bad. 1 of the 3 i missed though evaded 3 shots The farmer was chuffed with my efforts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDog Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 All very clean rabbits. You will be spitting dust for weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-G Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 A nice job well done with results the farmer can see. I prefer to shoot over the stubble later on in the cooler evening or night with less dust and show the farmer what was done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
