First day/eve(last night) out after getting back(sunday)from my holiday in el scorcheo.
I had one hell of an itchy trigger finger for the week. Although the weather was fab I couldn't wait to get back behind the .223:D

Shot with a 50gr Remington JHP @just under 100yds

Oldest of them 3 days and the youngest few still drying off in the incubator. Released birds may be badly needed due to weather so even though its a little later than I would ideally like it is better than not at all.

Got these 3 this evening @ 75 yards.
There was a forth but got into the ditch before I could get another round loaded. Hope to get him in the next evening or 2.

So farmer told me that there's that fox in the field he cut.Got up early next morning, got in to the field, found a good spot , lied down and started calling.About two minutes after fox appears from nowhere in front of me within few yards:eek: Wee look at each other and she starts moving away towords bushes. I aim and fire...miss... She bolts away into the bushes just couple yards away. Everything happened within five seconds, no time to adjust magnification, paralax or nothing. I don't know what happened, did I rush or did I fired to low due to her being so close. Anyways I was going mad: was calling for the next two hours and she didn't appear again. Went home. Couldn't believe I missed it so decided to get back to the field and get here with the lamp same day despite it was Sunday night before work(wife thought I was out of my mind:rolleyes:)Drove into field, first shine up-eyes,called in a bit, led lenser on and here she was:

Was happy like a child. I just hope it's the same one from the morning

rabbit assassin

Was doing my rounds checking traps as I do every morning. Came across this greedy magpie in a live catch rat trap. The blood is from his leg that got caught in the door. I wouldnt mind but there was a larsen trap loaded with a fresh half skinned rabbit less than 30 yards away

Headed out this evening at around 8 o clock for a few bunnies and bagged 3 foxes in 3 fields in a 10 yard triangle of each other in 20 minutes

17gr v-max did the trick nicely. Missing the third pic until tomorrow.

Hi all,

The first picture is of a club member who wanted to go fox shooting thurs night i called to him I brought along my rifle and lamp and caller he had his .22 cz I said if I call the fox in close he could take the shot after walking down the road thru the fields I said we will set up here over looking a wood I started calling and within 2mins a pair of eyes appeared I stopped calling and let him get set up and when he was ready I continued calling and the fox ran straight at us and I stopped him up 20meters out and he put a high velocity 22 round into his chest and it dropped on the spot ! He was grinning ear to ear! We collected our fox and headed home.



The following night,
Myself and my shooting friend were asked could we call to help shoot a few a few foxes for two other lads from another part of the country so we gladly obliged them we started off with some rabbit shooting and as the evening closed in we went home had the tea and sanwiches and grabbed our gear calls lamps etc, within twenty mins we had three shot!! Anyway we continued on thru the night and met quiet a few red lads!! All we used was mouth calls and everything worked out for us! We headed home late with 11 foxes we shot twelve but couldn't recover one.
The following morning we were up early again and went pigeon shooting we had a good weekend it all,Thanks to the two lads who put us up and fed us.We were two tired boys driving back home.



A busy few days with good results.

Comeraghshooter

Spotted this fella out the bedroom window last week in the middle of the day walking around the field about 150m or so from the house, lucky for him the .223 was not zeroed !!
Got out the 22lr to see could i take a photo through the scope (Had no intention of shooting at him with it from the window)

Its bloody hard to take a photo through the scope trying to keep it on target and hold the camera/ phone still - any little movement and it all goes black!

About 1 hour after this photo was taken i had the .223 zeroed - This wont happen again

session savage

Was out just now for the usual route and took a nice long shot. The hill on the horizon is where the shot was taken. 320 yds.

Picture of my first kill with my new remy 700 243 from the other weeks goat hunt! My largest animal yet, all pheasants, duck and rabbit till now :-) First goat, bit of practice for the deer! We camped out and dined on goat curry that night :-) About 130yd shot!

my first wild boar (65kg) got her in sweden thursday night will do a little write up when i get the time

Double Barrel

Out early and shot some and left the rest for another day.
Ran the setters on the heather after dinner and the dogs found a few nice clutches. Great to see birds and breathe in the mountain air.

Not a bad evening. Feed a pond & they will come!!
Were like fighter jets but the ducks are still young. Got what we wanted & left with em still dropping in for the next day. This dry spell coming won't help the pond though!

Was like a warzone not far from us with all the shots.

garv123

Was out at 4 o'clock and didn't see a duck or fire a shot. Saw 4 massive bucks of a heard heading back into swap the shotguns for rifles. They wont be touched till after the rut. Only one of them.

Saw a rake of doe's and fawns that stood looking at us like fools with no intentions of moving even when they were told to feck off. No prickets or stags though.

Decided to test a caller when it got too dark. Spotted this lad and he ran from the lamp at about 150 yards. Turn off the lamp and started calling and he re-appeared closer each time the lamp was turned on. 100gr .243 to the front of his chest left no exit wound but just a bundle of jelly.
collected the tail and called it a night.

The Big Fella

I managed to shoot my first deer at 8-30pm this evening with the new .243. A fine fallow buck, thanks to all the stalking I done with another man from the midlands last season I knew exactley what to do this evening.;) Delighted with the 160 yard heart /lung shot.
