Hi fellas,
yup, Bunnies are scarce , I mean REAL scarce , thanks to two new shooters on my patch.
The last three Bunnies were taken on my once "Premium patch" it took three trips to get those, I bumped into my new "mates" and they told me they shot sixty from my patch in one sitting, all of them last years spring kits.....GRRRR
Great news for the farmers, but ****** for me...does anyone know of a spell I can cast upon them to f*** them off ?
Anyway, its been bloody hot and very windy so the range was kept to under 350yds , the mirage was an abortion and f*** knows why I went out there lol
I hope you all enjoy the the vid as much as I enjoyed a new crop of Melanomas lol....Just kidding fellas.
cheers,
Sean.

You lucky bugger. There are heaps of bunnies in various parts of the Sydney metro area, and not one to be shot at. :(

Thanks Jim,
Yes its very annoying, it used to be a fantastic property, not anymore.
What also s**ts me is they have two other properties to go on which are riddled with rabbits, yet they continue to hammer my patch.

There's no shortage of rabbits where I do most of my shooting.
The property owner was having a light hearted dig at me about not doing enough shooting there, joked that he can walk around in bare feet because everywhere he steps there's a fury animal to stand on. :lol: [*]

Great shooting Elmer ;)

Elmer: "Bunnies are scarce , I mean REAL scarce ..."

Scarce? You don't know the meaning of the word: in the last 7 years on and around my property and on other neighbouring properties [on which I have permission to shoot] I have seen about four and shot one. There have been some hares though which the dog likes.

I don't know whether it's the myxo or the calici bug. Across the nearby river about a mile away there are lots of bunnies and the closer you get to town the more you see but the beggars can't be shot. The populations are really patchy.

no chance of shooting out patches of bunnies here, there are none after each release of calici virus.

No fear. You stay in SA. I've watched enough of your videos to know you don't miss anything within 800 yards in weather conditions so extreme that only 'mad dogs and Englishmen' would venture out.

As a lad I grew up driving VW Beatles so I do like your shooting rest. What year is it?

Don't let the bug die, as they say, "we have the technology, we can rebuild" 8-)
