Yes more bunnies running around this year so far. But still not living like the bunnies of 50 years ago. Just hanging around in temp homes rather than digging warrens. The dog like it better this way easier to find and chase.

Great to see you're back sniping the little buggers :-)
People still won't believe me when I tell them I used to sit over warrens sniping bunnies with the .222Rem for hours. They're convinced that the first shot will send them all underground. If you are far enough away they'll stay there the whole time while you knock over their mates.

Thanks Bladeracer, I don't understand why people would not believe you.
As you know, if the bunnies have not seen a lot of hunting pressure, they will normally sit around for a few shots then run into cover.
I reckon its one of the best ways to reduce their numbers during the day....they simply don't know where the danger is coming from.
