to some ,the answer to this is already known but to the new recruites to
our sport this may be alittle surprising.while out lamping with a friend we were following a well worn track through our hunting grounds.on this occasion the land owner had chosen to place a large herd of youngish cows
in a field which normaly only used to store farm machinery.we scanned around the field with the lamp ,when a mass of eyes were reflected back,i thought for a mo that the rabbits had finaly decided on revenge.my companion said right to the nearest fence now and was gone,i wasnt going to be rattled so i just strolled casualy,but there was a slowly gathering rumble of cantering bovines,i turned and flicked on the lamp and they slitherd to a halt having cover half the gap already.i backed up holding them in my light,the blighters recognised my retreat and started gathering speed ,face with this menace ,i raced to my mate who was holding the wire up ,he was laugthing like the drain.lesson learned.we check on stock movements before our forays.incidently a local woman was trampled to death while walking her dog amoungst cattle so take care,cheers red bob.
