    Starting to have to work for the small game in the orchard. The upshot is that there are less rabbit holes to fill in.
    A couple of hours of walking only resulted in seeing one hare.

    This silly bugger made the mistake of perching on the fence just outside the Kitchen window this morning.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Two hares on the lucerne last night. No wind, so the HMR did the job.
    Four coons in the pines.
    A rabbit in the garden.

    So a good night.
