gav1212 16 Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Was driving home from work this morning and decided to take the country route home, as I turned on to the back road home I seen 4 rabbit sitting on the middle of the road. When I was getting closer I thought they were just going to bolt but 2 of them ran my direction and straight under the car, I got out and they were riggling about and seemed to be clean hit so I got the plastic bag and rung there necks. Then as I went to drive off I spotted another lying by the ditch in shock. So I think ive done pretty well without a ferret or a gun in sight! 3 in the bag, good eating for the ferrets anyway!

I couldn't agree more, I really don't understand the mentality of some people. If I find fresh road kill I will put it in the truck for the ferrets but I always avoid hitting anything myself. I have friends who aren't into country pursuits, as I like to call them "townies" and they just don't get it and laugh when I avoid a pheasant or a rabbit on the road... Have respect for your quarry in life and in death. That easy target on the road may offer a fantastic sporting shot or coursing memory in the field when your next out! 2 Quote Link to post
