After checking the traps I put in yesterday and nothing in the first and come close to getting something in the 2nd
the trap was pulled up from its bed and must have had something in it at one stage
anyway I reset it and will check them again tomorrow.
I had a bit more of a poke around and checked a dead heffer to see if anything had been at it - nothing so far, she's starting to smell a bit more so it shouldn't be too long before something comes to have a feed, so will put a trap on her ass once I notice some activity.
I drove around and spotted a couple of bunnies sunning themselves so figured I've got the little Brno Mod 2 with me I might as well have a crack and see how I go.
So I hopped out of the BT and got a bit of a rest on a rock nearby, lined up the bunny and sent a 40gn Win Power Point on its way - WHACK and the bunny was down.
it was a good 50m or so shot so happy with that.
I then went over to another gully and had a bit of a whistle to see if any foxes were about but none seen so I started to work my way back, as I did I stopped and glassed the opposite bank and spotted a bunny sitting under a log
I though right oh you're next, so I headed over a little closer and got the BT in position for shot no.2, I popped the Brno out the window, chambered a round and lined the rabbit up, with the X-hairs Just above its head I touched off the PP and WHACK straight between the eyes
the second bunny was on the ground. I drove down the hill toward the creekline and thought that will do, so walked across the creek and picked up the bunny (fark my knees aren't at all happy after doing that I can tell ya)
anyway I managed to get my big ass back up the hill to take a few pics.
Anyway I'll be back out there again tomorrow to check the traps - I just hope I have a fox or too in em.

The Sling is a old Kangaroo Hide that I shot with it as a kid, still going strong after all these years and would have to be one of the most comfortable slings I have, really great for those off hand shots (wrap it around the forearm and send one flyin).
