WARP .22 Mongoose Hunt
Nomadic Pirate:
So this morning I got up at dark and made my way to the Blind where I set up a baiting station for mongoose.
This is from inside the blind looking at the bait
The set up is a cage I made where I put Spam and cat food in, I made it this way so mongoose need to work with their little hands to get the food out
Also I took the Rooster I shot yesterday with my Thunderstorm and tied it to a tree to the right of the blind in relation to the other bait
I didn't get the fast and furious action that I was hoping for, but than again I only started baiting Sunday and it does take longer than 4 days to make mongoose really comfortable and more of them find the spot,
on that note, there was a few that circled around in the rocks but never came to the bait, there where definitely still skittish, also 2 of the mongoose I shot when they where just parked on a rock and wheren't coming in,
The Rooster never got found so I didn't use that side.
Note, I messed up the 2nd shot at the mongoose, once again I short cycled the bolt ( completely my fault, I still do it now and again ) and I sent out a slow moving pellet that never got close to the critter but only spooked it never to be seen again ::) ::)
In the end in 2 hours I took 6 Mongoose
As you can clearly see, the Neck shot is king ;D ;D ;D
