The Deed, CIRENCESTER England August 2021...
I went out to one of my normal locations to carry out the deed of taking the three and you guessed it, Nothing!?, sheep gone to market and field prepped ready for the crop rotation seeding.
There was simply nothing out and about, moved around the other 190 odd acres and still nothing, long grass everywhere and paddocks clear, came to a clearing and thought it had potential so waited, counted to 1000 and the Elmer Fudd quotes kept filling my mind...
The light changed and bingo out they came, five Rabbits in front, 40-60 yards - Bang (missed), all running Bang one down, one stayed still thumping his back leg Bang two down
Collected said rabbits the running one was not fit for a photograph (but I was pleased with the running shot) second good enough for David
Not totally convince with rifle accuracy so in the dying light I re-zeroed
Moved on to the Paddocks...
Light gone so on with the lamps, come to daddy...
Two for David then Three, from going out a 16:00 it was fastly approaching 23:45 with the Three for David and Twenty One for the Dogs in the vehicle box - I had a fab night out thanks to David
Got home 01:00, to be met by the Wife and Dogs, Wife's words "your Dogs wouldn't settle and your dinners in the microwave", old gal looked and checked the contents of the box and with satisfaction in her eye's retreated to the couch (that's the Dog, not the Wife), young dog muscling the Rabbits trying his damndest to pull them from the box in the hall while I was securing the guns
Knackered, too late to do photo's but the deed was done with JAK, I just did Three, my knife did the others and when finished I was greeted in the house again with the dulcet tones of "You Stink"
I will update the other thread with the image of the Three and JAK in CIRENCESTER ENGLAND August 2021
Monday 29th August will see JAK and The Diary sent to Alberta, Canada
Dispatched with a BROWNING TBOLT 17HRM and Paunched with JAK...
