Myself and @gavin spent a few hrs last night out shooting on a new permission i gained a month or so ago :thumbsup:

We turned up at the new golf course around 7 ish so we could have a look around as it was a first time visit :)

i went into the main reception area and asked for a layout/map of the greens so we would have some idea on where we were going :rofl:

The guy in recepion asked which course we were wanting to look at :eek::eek::eek:... Holy shit there is a 18hole course and another 9 hole course and also a 3 hole putting section with a massive driving range :):):):):):cool:

so i asked for a map for each and we were of for a wander with out the rifles just to get the lay of the land ......to say the course is large is an understatment :cool:

we spent a couple hrs wandering around looking for signs of wabbit activity :thumbsup:

Didnt take long and we were seeing them sat out in the evening sun blistfully unaware of what was to come :eek:

Darkness soon fell and it was time to lamp up and head out after a quick brew in the carpark :cool:

turned the gun lamp on and soon realised we needed a gattaling gun rather than an air rifle there were wabbits running in every direction :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

managed to bag a few and we called it a night as in truth the purpouse of the trip was to get a good idea on the lay of the land :thumbsup:

in conclusion the place is running with them i think its going to be a very nice shoot for me and @gavin for a few years to come ... gav took some photos which im sure he will add to this thread :thumbsup:

I think a buggy may be used but would have to ask and see :thumbsup: luckly where the main "action is " we can get the landrover fairly close and its prob 100yrds walk to the warrens so its not to far to walk each "section " of the shoot... i managed to bag a couple but to be truthfull i wasnt realy trying i was to busy laughing at "buckfeaver" @gavin :rofl::rofl::thumbsup: ... if i got a fiver every time he shouted " theres 1 " id be a very rich man


:rofl:

at a ruff count we saw around 30-50 wabbits ... most stood still for the lamp .... was great to see so many there ... as said before the trip was a fact finding mission for us rather than an all out shoot :cool: ... next time will be a different story :thumbsup:

There's one there's one theres one there's one......
Christ there tall wabbits, No it's a herd of deer......
God look at the eye shine on her.......
Bulls Eye grab that man a cigar.......
Just a few quotes from last night what a laugh it was
The small wabbit shaped posts on the green kept stumping me with the lamp there's one no Gav it's a post. Why the hell would they put reflective tape on a post for a golf course matt baffles me golfers don't hit there balls at night :whistle:
