I popped onto a farm last night that borders the last farm I was out on from last week.

The weather was a lot cooler and forecast to get down to 0° with a ground frost in the middle of May. However there was no wind and no moon so I was looking forward to a good mooch about the yard and surrounding fields.

The sun was still up when I arrived. This land is pasture and arable land.

Surrounded by hills.....

A lovely place to spend a few hours.

I wasn't going to bother with bait as this place doesnt require it and it can spook them some times when a new food source is introduced.

The sun dropped away and I got to it.

I opted for the sub 12 again in .22, R10 SE carbine huma regged.

Some good sized adults knocking about.

Lots of activity in all the usual places, around the livestock, around the water troughs and animal feed.

The night was looking good, pretty steady.

The H&N FTT fly well in this barrel.

Funnily enough I'd shot one along the top of the concrete stone wall in the pic above. It dropped behind on the other side and landed on a large rat trap...double wammy.

Anyways I'd done enough and decided to call it a night, I still had to collect them all and bag them up which always takes time.

A few, at least 6 had been dragged off or dropped backwards into brick walls and couldn't be reached but i managed to find 34 of the 40 or so shot.

All bagged up and tied off for the burn site....

There was some weight in that bag....

Land owner was very pleased to say the least.

Good stuff, all 'round, Gary. Good shots & pix, brother.
