Bodhran or Lambeg drum anyone (feral goat culling in Kerry)

BELOWaverageIQ

Return to Kerry,
The day started out not too well, as I was getting dressed at 4am Sunday morning I pulled my jacket off the shelf and down drops a fekin 2lb wrench onto and bursting my big bloody toe,,,,so here I am leaping around the kitchen in my jocks eating my fist trying not to scream and waken herself and the kids upstairs......just what you need when your off hiking for the day.....:D

Collected 'Rugerman':rolleyes: at 4.30..ish and we landed onto our Deer ground about 7, the usual breakfast of coffee n a pish and went our separate ways arranging to meet at 11.
Anyway to cut a long story short, seen a few sika but no shot.

The plan was to then Meet up with 'Shaft666' / ''666shaft'':rolleyes: after lunch to revisit the goats which we had begun to cull a few weeks ago at the request of the farmer / land owner.
We estimate that there is approx 60 Feral goats on the property, you can see the extent of the problem by the numbers seen in the clip below. in the clip there are anout half a dozed sheep to the left of the screen with the remaining 'white dots' being goats.
Here are a few photos, in total we culled 14 and there is a youtube clip where Rugerman takes 5 shots, cleanly taking 4 kills, two of which were head shots and the third shot in the sequence was a miss (you can plainly hear him cursing:D) We ranged this sequence at 300yrds.
Shots during the afternoon were between 70-300 yrds and I was delighted to get a good clean kill at 400.
I put the vid up on youtube this morning and within 20mins I had someone called WILDGOATLOVER calling me a gay smalldicked ****er, now seemingly I have got to go off and fu(k my sister which is terribly traumatic as she is really really not my type :D
The rifles were my .308 ftr which really is too heavy for this lark and a 22-250
Thanks to Rugerman for the ,chipmoney' and Shaft for the tea, i hope your back/heart/legs are ok today

I've seen a few done and they do make a cracking rug as long as they can get THAT smell out! :eek:

Some nice shooting there. Out of curiosity what does the FTR weigh in at? About the 13-14lb mark? Heavy haul alright.

With a name like that he has bigger issues than insulting you.

Nothing but sheep and goats up there but it is very high up and fairly barren so wouldn't expect to meet much
