There really is no pain in it at all now. I believe they like to give tendons a good six weeks of rest to heal. I can't count the first four days or so as I was knocking it about a bit, but it's had two weeks without being banged or knocked, at least not enough to cause a scream
Yes, those situations do frustrate
The occurrence that lead me to post was following that fox around the house last week and not wanting to risk further injury trying to hunt it.
Sadly, he somehow managed to get into one of the water tanks and drowned, I'm sure he would've preferred a bullet
He'd been coming though late mornings so we think Thursday morning or we would've heard him shouting.

Heh,,,, you don't know the full meaning of "Frustrated" till you experience this,
A week ago I attended another new property to ping some foxes for the owner.
Come the end of the period I was prepared to stay for,,,, and before packing up I did one more scan and bingo,,,,, there was a pair of dogs (dingo type)
An adult, and a juvenile (judging by sizes) way out past where I had been picking off foxes.
They were play fighting in a grassy area, approx 500 meters out maybe more.
I watched avidly for just on 1/2 hr hoping and wishing that they would work their way into a reasonably comfortable shooting range.
But it was not to be,, and they eventually headed off into the far distance till I lost sight of them altogether.
Now that,,,,,,,,,, is frustrating.
When your sight picks up possible victims that are outside of the realms of sure shots, and all you can do is watch.
