foxhunter Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Friday night saw me travel up to my mates on the River Clyde for a spot of lamping followed by stalking on Saturday. We set up in position and I started calling using my Cottontail in distress call from my mobile , after a few seconds I spotted 3 sets of eyes bounding in from about 400 yards away in a procession. I said to my mate "Look at these badgers coming in " but once they got closer my mate looked through his scope and said " There not badgers there Otters " and sure enough the 3 otters came in to about 40 yards away before veering off and heading back for the river We went down to the river and spotted 2 swimming , I dont know if it was the same otters we'd seen or another pair . On lamping the far river bank I spied a fox curled up without a care in the world until a 180 grainer from my mates .308 put it to sleep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to see in the flesh and not watching Bill Odie in the picture as well All the best Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
