Cloud cover always eases the pain of clambering around hills, this day was no exception. The humble .22 in one hand accompanied a slowing of the step as ideal surroundings found, lush grass and protective blackberry ideal for the wary Rabbit.
Finding a suitable "360 knob" ensured a target rich environment could be scanned with the binos.
The first stir fry donor succumbed to a winchester 42g sub at approx 90yrds.
Flipping over a few more quietened the place down, orders to make this a search and destroy mission had me move on
Safely through a fence
I thumped them in the flatter open
Through another fence
Thumped them in the steep shitty
Stopping for a scan of another area showed a stretched out bunny having a snooze by the fence
Just as his insides became his outsides the sun popped out
A few more valleys and the stirfry collection was looking great, then a wee trophy popped up
Steeply downhill at 90yrds was a half grown albino bunny, settling in behind the CZ i could clearly see him flip over as a soft thump drifted back
Destined for the freezer i will show him to the taxidermist to see if he's suitable.
Covering more ground had the CZ in its element, subs and the 5 baffle DPT adding the stealth to my ninja efforts
As the light faded my headlamp allowed a return to the ute, its hard not to appreciate the humble .22
