Thread: Nor'wester stirring up the hares and bunnies ?

By my observation animals in general don't like wind. It makes them jittery and do strange things. Kids are the same - ask any Kindergarten or Primary School teatcher... windy days are much worse than rainy days.

Bloody rabbits around here have been hard work with the recent nor'westerlies. They typically conjugate on the lee side of the ridges out of the wind and avoid the heat of direct sunlight. They also tend to bolt faster too... like they're already sprung loaded and ready to go. It's been hard to get in close. Also keep in mind the increased feed we have as a result of the wetter summer. More feed equals better survival rates and healthier animals surviving into adulthood.

Enjoy watching them. They do some funny shit sometimes.
