Bunnies for bait

    Needed a couple of rabbits to bait the new Ladder trap I've put up. I've since taken off the roof to help encourage the greycrows to visit and feed. Spent about 20 minutes out and about. Fired 10 shots, missed one, three kicked their way down burrows. Three for myself and dropped three off to a mate to feed his greycrows in Larsens.

    Met a couple of kite boarders while out "Man, that's the real deal sniper rifle" etc. :D Could meet a lot worse!

    They were in fields not far from a beach that have sandy soil alright. But, I have seen them in non sandy soils, and even low on the Twelve Bens.

    :eek: You must be kidding me. Think of the work that'd be, scraping the bunnies off half the field and providing the crows with jam jars and straws to eat them :D

    :D Yeah, that's gonna happen.... Haven't shot a few bunnies in a good while. Place is teaming with them back there. Lots of walkers around though which can complicate things a little.
