Right, if kidney have issue, high protein food is not very good. Good luck for your cat. My first one died because of kidney failure at age three. It was my fault, lack of knowledge, had given her too many foods from our plates.Quote:

Few years ago boys popped over 1000 in an evening couple of times in north Canterbury - that's about 6pm to 1pm. Heaven knows what we'd have got shooting a full weekend, but bit lazy for that. Individually you could shoot as many as you liked - I tend to get fairly bored and declare at 100-150 tops! What we did do was note fastest 100, and record was about 43 minutes from @gadgetman.. Great fun. Virus and pindone ended that heyday - now we get 30-60 in an evening from that site.
In last year or so best is 403 from an evening shoot and 1-2 hours in morning. Almost all from truck.
My best in the Hawkes Bay is 1058 on my own for three afternoons. Mainly long range with .223 and .22-250, so there was no need to gut them after shooting.
I heard rabbits in some area has become immured to K5 virus. Great fun, I like rabbit hunting especially with shotgun, and I like smoked rabbits or slow cooked one.Quote:

take out the backstraps/back steaks.... slice into small cubes,place in plastic bag with a little flour or breadcrrumbs and some seasoning,curry powder is OK if you like curry....masterfoods mild steak seasoning is my favourite,closely followed by caisin ..... shake it around to coat the cubes THEN quickfry and scoffemupdelishimoQuote:

Yes I am happy with low rabbit numbers, they are pest animals. 20 years ago we'd shoot 30 every night, but that has changed. Partly it is because the land use has changed, less sheep and less short pasture, more forest and long grass which do not suit rabbits.Quote:

I forgot you gave it to me until I saw it in the pantry so I grabed it and gave it a go.
Cheers MD :thumbsup:
Thank you. I am sure that will be lovely, not tried with rabbits but with a trevally fish once, similar but not exact.Quote:
