I am convinced that my partners Son and myself have now earned the unenviable title of "YFI" ( You F*^#ing Idiot )
Sunday afternoon saw us visiting a property that was extremely hilly with many rocks and gigantic boulders.
The property itself has a large population of rabbits, and was an ideal opportunity to experiment with the NiteSite, and video.
So my partners Son and I set up, and he started finding the bunny targets for me with the binocs.
They seemed content to just sit and sun themselves, and werent real easy as they blended in pretty well.
After a while my spotter guided me onto one that was about 280 meters out.
Looking at the screen, I found it and commented that it was a bit different colour than the others.
I started the video, and settled the reticle,,,, and squeezed off the shot.
When the dust settled, there was the "rabbit" still sitting there, but now he had a white patch on his chest.
Bugger,,,,,,,,
It was a rock.
We looked again through the binocs,, and it really did look like a rabbit.
When we got back to the house, we watched the video, and even then,,,, it still looked like a rabbit.
At least it gave us something to laugh about,,,,,,,,,,,,
I do not fear death itself... Only its inopportune timing!
I've come to realize that,,,,, the two most loving, loyal, and trustworthy females in my entire life were both canines.
