Been doing a bit....although a couple of weeks ago i had a really nasty fall out wandering about in the middle of the night on the next doors place.
She is lambing down and rang to say she was loosing lambs, could i sort the foxes out.....up on top of a steep hill looking down onto the gulley floor and spot a fox with the monoculor heading towards her sheep....too far away so thought i would sneak down the hill and get closer.....slowly making my way down the hill and didnt know there was a 5 ft straight drop in front of me.....when i stuck the foot out and there was nothing there...i knew i was in deep s**t....and down i went like a bag of spuds...landed on the gun and ended up ripping all the muscles in my right side and back....took me a couple of hours to get back to the ute and back home....to say i was sore next day and for the next two weeks is an understatment.......didnt even get a shot away....so fox 1....hunter 0......but got my revenge next time out.....

Im struggling to find them at the moment, I had a really hot run for a couple of weeks but I've lost my mojo. Think I must have smashed the young and dumb ones........

I wasnt spotlighting oldbloke.....wouldnt have been so bad if i was....probably would have seen the drop...i was out with the thermal gear.....got to be honest....i dont know what was worse...the injury...or the tongue lashing i got from the wife for doing that....she was not impressed.....
