    Was out the past few days with the HMR and was expecting to see loads of rabbits in certain fields but didnt see one.
    Does the hard frost/ground make the rabbits stay underground?

    On the other hand, wouldn't the winter coats be good for tanning?

    Naw, sun isn't hot enough :p

    Sorry :o feeling happy, seasons greetings :) yes they would be very nice for that this time of year I reckon. Taxidermist told me if I wanted to stuff a full fox to shoot it in January, the coat is at it's best then ;)

    Was out with the 223 today an saw many and they were on the warmer side of the hedge getting what sun was there to keep warm.

    Only shot 2 @ 144m and 154m, American Eagle 50gr HP, zeroed 1" high @100m so I didn't have to correct for the distance.
