1967spud Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 I was out feeding tonite and had a couple off shots at longish pigeons on the barley stubbles and connecting with them, i would say that they were about 300-350 yards. Any way i am on the way home and cutting across some stubble to my house when i go round the corner of a cover crop, and what do i see but a fooking biggish cub then stalking a covey of partridges. Well i was out with the gun, .243 and i got ready on the bonnet the cub was about 250 yards no more. I had a good solid rest on bipod and folded arms all was looking good. The fox look like a donkey on 15 power in my scope, i gentley squeezed the trigger and i ******* missed. I had left about 3/4 MOA off elevation dialled in on my bloody scope from the ealier shooting. And to make matters worse it was my last bullet. spiral staircasein spiral staircasetey Fucck And i got it all on camera. Enjoy, dont be to hard on me.

deerman Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Great video Spud. If you look closely you can see the cub actually having a chuckle at you!!! Good on you mate, or should I say the cub. There is always tomorrow and plenty more ammo. Cheers, George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
