Bunnies with the daughter

Post by tom604 » 02 Dec 2014, 7:19 pm

This is from about a month or so ago, the daughter had been bugging me to go out and bowl over some bunnies, blood thirsty little thing she is :)

So we went out to a property and i set up the pool noodle on the window and plugged the spotty in and off we went.of course all the rabbits were on the wrong side of the car and the pool noodle was a stupid idea and i was too slow to turn the car to get into position :lol: :lol:

It wasn't that bad but you get the idea :lol:

So i put a rice bag on the bonnet and said that i would stop, she could get out and use the bonnet as a rest.well bugger me, six dead bunnies and all head/neck shot as well :shock: about this time i suggested that i would like a shot too, so a quick lesson on how to drive a manual and all systems go,,ish.

The first bunny i see is the all white devil rabbit :twisted: this rabbit has eluded me a few times and dare i say it even stuck its little white tail up at me :x okay i said, pull up, nothing?, okay pull up, nothing? put the brake on my darling child!,ahh we start to slow, i line the moby dick of rabbits up, adjusting to the fact that we are still moving,,bit more brake smiley, i said. in hind sight my teaching should of included the clutch as we "bunny hopped" to a stop and moby was just a memory

We got ten all up plus one that i hit on the way home ;)

My mate was learning to drive in his Dad's diesel Hilux, changed from fifth into second, instead of fourth, surprised it didn't send the valves skywards :lol:

Mind you, second drive of my step dad's Hilux I backed into a power pole :oops:

Well done.

Can't wait for my kids to get to 12 so they can legally hunt with me.

Thanks for sharing.

Maybe you need to get her to learn how to use a camera before any more shooting.

Seems like one of you should know WTF you're doing :lol:
