I hope it didn't involve a Morrison's bag!
Weirdest find whilst out foxing?
- Thread starter Triggermortis
- Start date
A second one from when I was a teenager. I was out with our local keeper going with terriers to sort some fox cubs out as he had snared the vixen. Walking down a hedge when he stopped me and crept forwards about 30 yds in a hayfield. I saw him stop and raise his stick bringing it down sharply at something. This turned out not to be some vermin or other but a trouser less village lad. Next thing a girl leaped up knickers in hand and ran off. I recognised her from a few doors away and it certainly got her parents a visit from our Bobby. It also gave me a different view of certain nautiness that may become available to me at some future time.

Continuing the theme of courting couples - me driving the Land Rover, headkeeper in the passenger side,me with rifle, him with lamp. Spotted a car tight up against hedge that had driven into the stubble,turned and parked up maybe 50 yards away from the gateway. Headkeeper out and banged on door. Slight wait then chap exits. Headkeeper enquires what are you doing,best stop and be on your way.
Chap starts replying by saying " my wife and I". Headkeeper stops him and replies " my wife thinks I'm kinky if I try it on in our front room never mind a field late at night so best you and your"wife " clear off before the cops attend.
Still smiling at the incident now 30 years later.

One of my last memories of the traditional scene of a gamekeeper in an old land rover involved a local gamekeepers land rover pulled into a gateway down a quiet lane and a slender ladies bare foot and leg poking out of the door window!!
Way to go Paul you old bugger...
Again, continuing the "courting" couples theme. Over the many years I've been night shooting in this part of Devon, there have been many incidents of couples of varying gender mixes caught in the act. However, the one that I remember very vividly was when we were lamping in a very remote area on the fringes of Dartmoor many years ago. There was a very old, disused quarry that had become a favourite spot for rabbits. Access was gained down a track that you could get a vehicle down, but we always approached on foot, as you could guarantee getting at least three or four with the shotguns before they disappeared.
On this particular warm, dark summer night, we silently made our way down the track and eventually arrived at the entrance to the quarry. Switching on the very powerful lamp revealed no rabbits, just a blanket spread on the grass with a stark naked couple doing what stark naked couples often do. As they were about ten yards from the car, what ensued was sheer panic! The poor bloke didn't know whether to have a go at us or get to the car. He chose the latter, and we discreetly left. Although we laughed, we both felt sympathy for them. "There but for the grace of God, etc.!

It’s a leopard gecko. My daughter used to have one as a pet. Probably escaped or was released by some uncaring individuals. They usually live in a tank under a heat lamp. I’m surprised it managed to survive. Not sure what happened to its tail. I think they can detach their tales so they can escape, if it gets caught by a predator. If you don’t want to keep it take it to your nearest reptile shop, they can probably rehome it.

No not that night. Watched it run into some bushes as I had a NV unit with me. Left it 10mins and managed to find the thermal.

On cold windy night i saw distant light and slowly crept towards it the closer i got i realized it was car interior light imagine my surprise when i saw it was a police metro and our local bobby giving himself a treat so to speak. I snuck out of there and he was none the wiser. Being a small Sussex village i only told my mates but some how the rumor spread not sure how ???

What kind of treat? A doughnut?
Not so much what I've found but I had two Apache Guardians find me, they came over very very low one night, then right over me in a slow circle before they headed off.

They use to pass over my house many years ago at night very low.
When my then young wife heard them coming she would run to the window to watch them.
I noticed how they would slow down on their approach so I pointed out to my wife that they do have very very sophisticated night vision and are probably looking forward to her naked presence in the window of an evening!
I use to tell her her that their flight path sortie has a place on the map called boob point!!
I think he was helping her up
