Last night, being rather frosty and very very still, I decided to take the NiteSite and the 22/250 out.
I drove the ute down into the front paddock, and parked.
In the back, I had a chair, and a tea chest for rest,,,,, alongside the rack containing ammo, whistles etc.
I sat my custom made swiveling rifle rest on the tea chest, and attached the NiteSite.
I turned it on and started looking around, and immediately found three very large hares feeding about 170 metres out.
3 successive shots, and I had all three.
It took me longer to set up than it did to shoot em.
Being such a still frosty night, I couldn't believe how loud the shots seemed to be.
Each shot echoed, and actually reached some large hills about 3 kilometres away, and then returned.
It was like listening to a replay of each shot several times over.
Took some pics, but didn't look at them in detail till I had finished cutting and bagging for dog food. (sorry about the blood)
I do not fear death itself... Only its inopportune timing!
I've come to realize that,,,,, the two most loving, loyal, and trustworthy females in my entire life were both canines.
