Finally it was cool enough to get out for a few hours, 31c and the ever present wind encouraged the critters to get some exercise.
This particular spot has always been productive but due to an increase of foxes the numbers were very low.
As a result, three Bunnies in four hours with the .223, because the numbers were low I was mindful to only shoot one rabbit from each warren to try and preserve breeding stock :thumbsup:
Anyway , nice clean kills and no wounded made for a good day,
cheers.

It kinda of sounds funny almost first fleet funny when they brought the rabbits and foxes to have something to hunt. Then for the next 200 years we have been trying to eradicate them. The cost rabbits have caused farmers and to the environment would be staggering, and now you are trying to maintain a sustainable population to shoot. :lol: I have only been able to watch 1 or 2 of your vids due to internet connection limits. Very good shooting, really impressive shooting keep at it and enjoy. :thumbsup:
