Well after a couple of quiet months the time has come to take a look around the fields and see were all the life has moved to. The above picture was taken from the opposite side of the valley from the farm were i often shoot on my way to Botallack. Normally these fields would be alive at this time of the day but as the weather is changing the bunnies are coming out later.
Down in the bottom of the valley were the sewerage works sits in a few of the fields i had permission on and has been taken over by South West Water i think but don't quote me on that was at one time a great hot spot but doesn't house as many rabbits as i would like, still a great time of the year to charge your lamp up and start the night shooting, a personal favourite of mine.
The picture above is the bag after a good night out at the airport, St Just, Lands End. I love the airport, its silent, not much passing traffic and you ain't gonna bump into any one there, well if you do, be worried. Its a massive open field in the middle of nowhere with the cliffs at one end and a road to Lands End point at the other, a great place to shoot, but you don't want to run out of charge on the lamp.
A couple of hours out with the S410 around 9.30pm in the valley at St Just gave me these nice sized bunnies for the bag. I don't like to shoot too late down there as the fields are full of cattle most of the time but there are a few fields that are empty but they are hidden away and there location is, well, that's between me and the fields.
My perfect lamping rig. I think so anyway. The lamp is by Clulite, the torch is rechargeable by Bosch, Scope is a Bushnell Banner, dusk and dawn, Harris bipod, Yukon monocular night vision 4 X 50 and the rifle is a Weirauch HW100 carbine 22. What more could you want !!!!!
