I remember the days when I could vault a fence :cry: :cry: :cry: Now if I kneel down I have to look for something to hold on to to get up again :lol:

Same as me. I often think that life would be so much easier if I could just shoot prone all of the time. Could have forty winks between shots then :thumbup:

Strange that all us night owls seem to have battered bodies, I cant even get out the chair & walk to the kitchen without looking & feeling like a cripple

Success, 2 foxes down Friday night. I shot a vixen and a dog both in the same spot. The vixen was spotted and shot with nv, but the thermal played a major part in the dogs demize. It appeared at 350y+ and i could easily tell what it was. I watched it scatter rabbits, walk through cover and dissapear behind a thick hedge/bank. All of a sudden it came through the hedge and headed to where the vixen had been laying. a quick switch to the nv and down it went. I saw all sorts over the weekend in day and at night including fallow in a wood at 500y. I could see deer in the thick cover in the wood in daylight when the naked eye saw nothing. This thing is going to get a lot of use. Ta Mike.

Yes, as i walked down a track i could see a fallow looking at me behind some cover. I couldnt see it with the naked eye but on Black hot it was unmissable. I wonder what the BDS will make of these?
