Sure thing, soaking up and loving every minute of access to this property.

It's not full pigeon chested big game brag talk but hunting rabbits is pretty satisfying and has done a fair bit for my own stalking skills.
Are you running a .22 or more of a 17hmr/longer range kind of bloke?
So was the cyst you mentioned filled with clear liquid? I've gutted two that had half golf ball sized cysts that weren't Calicivirus or Myxo related apparently but had this nasty looking fluid.
The rabbit kittens are starting to venture out now at my joint again and I sniped one yesterday morning walking over to the shed...ate it for lunch.
I'm running a varmint barrel CZ453 and Iove it, easily my favourite rifle and I'm rarely far away from it.
Everything stops when I see rabbits,foxes or hares and can safely get a shot in. Down tools, run off mid sentence, whatever.
This is a bit gross but I'll tell you a funny story.
My girlfriend lives on 40 acres and out there they run some Shetland pony sized hares...which are great eating and I've shot many.
One morning on the toilet while she was at work, I was busy getting a hearty number 2 out into the world when a prime plump hare loped into view. There were two of them and they were on the move, I could see them through the ajar ensuite and bedroom doors.
With no time for a classy cultured finale to the schizen I had no choice but to yell some weird German noises, get it done, grab the gun which was 6 feet away and move fast. Grabbing the rifle and mag went well but the 'no pants on, walking bandy legged' type situation didn't really, and I headed out the door.
The hares were 50m away and with an old bed frame for a rest I plugged the lagging one just in front of the ears from under the house... down and lights out.
I was really hoping to not have to venture out into the treed yard semi clad and lunatic asylum looking but the other one was heading for the fence.
Her parents live on the same property, pretty sure they were home and I didn't really know them that well then but there was shooting to be had man! So f#ck out I went.
Hiding and slinking behind the bushes like a Monty python fruiter I managed to get the other one at 70 odd metres in two shots.
No comments from the oldes who've turned out to be very cool people and we feasted hard on hare riddled stroganoff for ages.
Well worth it I say.
Good luck mate and I'll try post some hare pics

I wrote out another story yesterday to post here about a convo I had the other day, the net dropped out and I lost the lot as I hit submit.
A terrorist attack would sh!t me less... I'll try rewrite it when I've got time.

if this is like the cysts you are talking about ecobogan it is a hydatid cyst, the larval form of tapeworm

That's it exactly mate thanks for that. I shot a rabbit this morning that was sporting this type of cyst too.
I couldn't find it on an quick nternet search...where do you locate this and other animals diseases?
Thanks again MM

Well if you wrap it in enough of that filo & jam some of them frozen vegies hard in each end, & maybe crack a bottle of malt while cooking, you might not notice the fur so much...

after having a look l may be wrong in calling it hydatids cyst but it is tapeworm eggs
l got the info from my uncle when growing up, if you cut the water sack you will see like rice inside being the eggs
its a good idea to keep your dogs and yourself wormed regularly and dont just throw the infected ones get rid of them properly

Being thought of as a hippy is the funniest I've gotta say. They're usually young with good skin and bad clothes, not a bad shift for someone who looks like they work on an abattoir kill floor! But yeah running around in my jocks n carrying on isn't unusual so you'd have to deal with that somehow.
Nicole, my lady friend, is onto it. You'd fit in fine round here with your line up of coincidences.. brother!

Carnivore eats infected rabbit , roo whatever then gets cysts wherever which eventually hatch in gut lay eggs they then come out in faeces land on grass and get eaten by rabbit or roo ( herbivore ) and so the cycle goes ... some worms like to create cyst in the carnivore hence we don't eat carnivores and get meat from a reputable source . Always visually check meat , organs of game shot/ harvested , listen to reputable local knowledge and if in doubt get a pizza .
