Sciurus Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 17 hours ago, Walker570 said: Eight today from Lincolnshire, so our Irish Fly Tyer will be getting seven tails in the next day or so as promised. He would have had eight, but one bounced about and dropped in a six foot ditch full of water. Almost caught up with my plan of five a week. Well done that man! He did say he wanted between 5 & 10 so 7 is just the job!👍 I managed to shoot my first grey for 3 weeks but unfortunately also missed another - The .410 hushpower takes some getting used to after having shot a 12g sxs all my life. I did however spot a red so that was nice. 544 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moondoggy Posted March 23, 2019 Report Share Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) Got one little blighter this morning. Shot at it on the nuts and missed.

Walker570 Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 (edited) Well it will not be peeping into my camera lens again. Got in the seat at 5.45 and at 6.15 it appeared and sat up. I had the 17HMR and I missed!!! Was swearing to myself when it came back down the tree and sat up again. This tree is 60yrds away, should not be a difficult shot. MISSED AGAIN!!! but this time I saw the strike about half an inch above it's head. It scuttled off back up the tree and I thought that was it BUT, 15 mins later it came back down and sat up exactly the same place but now I had remembered I had zeroed on the first dot up at 50yrds because I was going to Lincolnshire and the ride there is 200yrds long. Placed said dot midrift and a resounding TWOCK!! Sorted. It was now getting decidely cold in the slight north wind and I was just thinking of a hot cup of coffee and some breakfast when I saw a second one come dancing out of the hedge and sat in the same place. TWOCK!!! I love the sound these 17g projectiles make. I gave it best as I was shivering so much it was difficult to hold steady and as I walked to pick the two up another ran off..... oh dear another early rise. 556 Edited March 24, 2019 by Walker570 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sciurus Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 I am badly behind my target, firstly by poor weather and then being flattened by man flu. However I manfully left my sick bed today to deal with an extremely lively grey caught by my most successful householder, who is a spritely 89 yrs old and still runs! He puts me to shame.
