tulkyuk Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 I went out on Saturday night with a mate for a drive around one the estates i shoot on, we were out shooting rabbits mainly but i put my 243 in the back of the truck just in case . after driving round for an hour or so and shooting a few bunnies, we came up the track next to a farm yard, flicked the lamp around a field next to the barns and spotted a charlie but as soon as the lamp beam hit her she was off like a shot - i've been after this on for a while now, ive seen where she goes ( a good run on the other side of the hedge from where we were lamping) - so i turned the truck around in the farm yard and headed back down the track to look where she went, but no sign so then revesed back up the track as my mate lamped, he told me to stop as he had seen Mrs raynard in an opposite field about 200yrds away. so i got the rifle and rested on my drivers side window and looked through the scope, she was across a on the other side of a small stream, on the other bank laying down in the grass trying to hide ( but not well enough ), i put the cross hairs inbetween her eyes ( could only see her head) and pulled the trigger - out went her glimmers and we went to pick her up. when we got to her i noticed that the bullet had gone straight though her head and into the top of her back/shoulder so it was a nice clean kill and very humane in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
