Another few hours in the paddock saw me once again shooting Bunnies for the pot, in a strong breeze, and lots of cover the targets were difficult to hit.
As I was going for head shots, a few misses were common...but I did manage to tag 5, althoiugh one escaped down his burrow and one had a massive cyst on its leg (about the size of a golf ball :spew: ) but the rest were indeed meaty and would make a great stew.
Dunno about you blokes but Im bracing myself for K5 Biological warfare...the next couple of weeks will be interesting. :homer:
cheers,
Sean.

They will be right mate, they will never stop the mighty bunnie, they've thrown everything at em and they just keep on coming back, this one will slow them up for a bit but they will develop an immunity to it no doubt. :thumbsup:

Bloody hope so anyway as I love exploding em. :D

I think the grass is a bit of a God send....plenty of food to encourage breeding and shelter to stop people like you and me from shooting everyone of them, which leads to more breeding stock to rebuild numbers. :thumbsup:

That's what the Ferrets told you... Much feasting was done underground while you weren't looking :mrgreen:
