One of those days..

Decided for the fine evening that was in it i would go check out a spot where id have been asked to shoot a few rabbits fox's and other vermin. Before i start my scope on the rifle wasnt holding zero anymore so rifle is out of action. Anyways Arrived at the farm with herself and shotgun in toe. Before i even got out of the car i saw at least 10 bunnys no more than 150yrds away typical said i no rifle not to worry ill be sure to get a least one buy means of sneaking up and hopefully a pigeon or two from the neighbouring cereal fields. So off i headed on foot about 250 acre's in total. And out of 30 cardridges i missed everything from rabbits to pigeons. A fox was looking at me from 100yrds no rifle countless rabbits couldnt even get close to get a shot off and pigeons doing flyby's pissing the ****e out of me. And to make matters worse two buzzards sitting on a fence looking at the efforts of a useless human hunter probably discussing my woefull display. A well cant win them all..:cool:

So you are getting a new scope!!

I can't get the cameras to focus as quick as I can get a round down range.

You just got the best motivation to get as decent scope;)

Ill get a pic the next time if i can. As you said the walk is just as nice. The buzzards are a fantastic bird. And the sight of them alone made up for the other disappointments . Called into the farmer on the way home for a cuppa and he said they had been living in the area for 2-3yrs.
