    Oh well only a handful of hares and rabbits tonight, they wouldn't sit at all. Saw 10 deer but none played the game or the hunting gods weren't on our side. The two that we managed to get within range of were just over the boundary so we left them. Did see one reasonable stag so will head back for another look soon. Nice to see them none the less.
    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.

    It must be disappointing only seeing 10 deer JoshC. Bad day in paradise huh?

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!

    Me and my mate had a competition with a hostage target afterwards as well.

    Didn't shoot it, staunch bastard didn't care about the rifle
    They are hard case those kingfishers, at a deerstalkers shoot we had 6 of the things sitting on the target stands during the centrefire shoot, didn't bother them one bit!

    Oh it's great seeing them rushy, especially in groups of 2 and 3. Makes an evening all the more interesting. I don't think there's such a thing as a bad day hunting mate!

    Your cat skin has a large hole in it, with the right cut adjustment it will fit nicely around the base of the toilet keeping your feet warm while doing your wee early hours whizz...how much you charging for these toilet mats ?

    Nice shooting

    Saw a ferret on the road and swerved to hit it but missed, slammed on the brakes kicking in the abs and crunched it into reverse and dropped the clutch, missed it again and ended up backing into a ditch. Lucky bastard! Honest attempt though

    One cat tonight. First one at the new place, 12 gauge, range less than 5 metres. Cheeky f#@ker was eating the dogs tucker. Went out to get some f/wood and spooked it off, got wood, went and got shotty and sat on step waiting for it to return. Less than 2 minutes later cat slinks in, quick check --- no collar --- boom!

    I usually hang the bells on the fence as a warning to other felines in the neighbourhood ... there's always one or two that push the boundaries a bit
