Lil' morning hunt.

Woke up this morning to some fresh westerly winds, that immediately took the surfing option off the table, so what to do ?
Well I have this brand new hunting boots that just came to break in, so was only obvious that a morning hunt was in order
The permission that I recently got is close enough that I can get a decent morning hunt even on my working days.
I already got Mongoose and a Peacock here so I was hoping to find myself a pig, even a small one since I got a nice trophy one last nite.
Love to walk around this area, saw many Peafoul in the distance but they all saw me way before I saw them and they where gone in a hurry, spotted a mongoose climbing a little tree knocking something off, eat it on the ground and than climb back up to do it again, I managed to sit and position myself but the little bugger was so fast up and down and when on the ground was obstructed by boulders, slowly I got higher to take a shot when on the ground but by than the little bugger was gone never to be seen again, saw 2 more mongoose but the saw me first and the attempted stalk turn into nothing, didn't see any pigs, towards the end I was just sitting under a Banyon hoping that something came to me, when I noticed 2 Mynah birds landing on a nicely bare tree about 70 yards away, said to myself "Why not ?"
Have no Idea of the drop at that distance so I guesstimated and put the crosshairs on the neck and pulled the trigger, after all this years I'm still always taken by how much louder the pellet hitting a bird is compared to the rifle report,
Anyway watched the bird drop straight down.
Hunting this area make me feel like I'm hunting some African Savannah,...minus the cool game of course
That's the tree on top of which the Mynah birds landed

All these years I have followed Mannys posts and never once have I known him to shoot any farther than 40 yards on a hunt or fiddle with a airgun, now he is fiddling and shooting farther and he is already a great hunter. Great shot Manny. David
