sussex lad Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 After enduring many hours of toilet TV last night. About 10.30 i made a desperate phone call to my brother to see if he wanted to go play :twisted: The first few trips around estate produced the bunnies. Not until we had decided to go home, Rob spotted a pair of eyes on a pile of hay bales So we headed off in the general direction ,not sure if was going to hang around as we made our way through a series of gates Once through the last gate we were about 200 yards away, so we moved around to get ourselves down wind and get a safe shot. With the lights out we slowly crept forwards at a snails pace. So with a quick scan of the lamp to check it was still on the bales we stopped to laser old charlie 159 yards on the "nose " . Lamp off i got my self comfortable through the roof hatch, then light on and ******!! its gone.... But no, there it was at the base of the bails looking very nervous so i let him look away one more time, then as he turned back to me i squeaked to hold his attention and BANG!! its down.. I instantly re cocked in case a follow up shot was needed, but its going nowhere So made safe and drove to the bails to find out, it was a she and quite old by the looks of her coat and very skinny. I turned her over and the reason for the poor condition became clear. At some point the right rear leg had been quite severely damaged and completely healed :shock: . Not sure if she would have survived the winter so i was quite glad i had taken her. So in all it was a good few hours out, certanly better thae the drivel on TV lastnite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
