BigGun1 Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 I am lucky enough to have been asked to keep the number of bunnies down on a local golf course. Although I have an open ticket and a hush power .410 I thought it would be best to take my Webley Raider on my first visit, just for a bit of a look arround and bag one or two if the shots appear. By half seven all the golfers had toddled off and I started off at the 9th hole working my way back to the club house. There were loads of bunnies about but nothing within easy air rifle range until I got to the 7th hole. As I sneaked across to the low hedge between 7th and 6th, just on the other side perhaps 25 feet away sat a good sized buck. I took aim and dropped him, first shot. As I sat there waiting, just incase another wabbit hopped over to see what had happened to him, I could not beleve my eyes. A young'ish cub bounced over and grabbed the rabbit I had just bowled over and started throwing it arround, I'm sure he had clocked me but couldn't give a sod! Not having any thing other than an air rifle there was nothing I could do but sit there and watch, I got some footage of the cub on my mobile but he tore off with his ill'gotten'gains when I stood up to move on. Whilst I know foxes are a pain, at the end of the day he was out doing the same as me, trying to get a bunnie or two and I know the damage they can do...but it was great to watch! The only time I have ever been that close to a fox he had just been dispatched, an unusual situation but it nice all the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windy Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 As it is a golf course.....doubt he is causing too much bother (unless neighbour is a free range chicken farmer!)......so you are effectively on the same side!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
