More tailies!

Sun Apr 19, 2015 7:25 pm

Dropped half a dozen long tails t'other night on our farm shoot.

We saw quite a few while doing our rounds. Steve dropped a few Corvids too but couldnt retrieve any from the dense undergrowth in the wood.

Had a really good night......

The last one in the pics is one I shot head on. It twitched as I pulled the trigger and the pellet entered its face and traveled about a third dwn its body and exited out of its left flank. Not a text book head shot by any means but it done the trick :lol:

smart bit of shooting there gordon, looks like rolands in for a tough time 8-)
theres always one that moves his napper just as you squeeze the trigger :lol:
happened to me a couple of weeks ago, he moved forward 2 inches to try and fill his gob with the breadcrumbs, killed him stone dead with a perfect heart shot :oops: :oops:
glad you and yer marrer are enjoying your new shoot :D ;)

Cheers Steve.
I've not done any rat shooting at night apart from the past month or so, but I'm loving this night vision malarkey. It's opened up a totally new ball game for me and I must say I'm rather enjoying it!

Steve is a really good teacher who enjoys watching me nail them as much as he does shooting em his self :mrgreen:

He's a damned good shot with his 100 too :oops: :oops: :oops:
