FOXHUNTER 5,021 Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 I was out last night with the .22 in pursuit of bunnies too. The ground was absolutely saturated and muddy ,no grass left on fields. Very challenging as bunnies were a bit shy as I'm not the only one on this ground but I love a challenge......anyway ended up with 15 rabbits and 2 rats. 3 Quote Link to post

Longshanx 833 Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Good going mate, especially with the weather, I know what that place is like when the wind picks up, proper wild, not to mention freezing. Should be out next week I'm getting cabin fever. I wish this weather would feck off so normal duties can be resumed. 1 Quote Link to post

It's a clever one. I photographed it weeks ago on the trail cam. In every shot it was looking at the ir light and it never returned. When I saw it Thursday night it was staring at the ir of the pard spotter. It's a smart one for certain. If the rain let's up about 11pm I may just try catching her out again, I say her, I'm convinced it's a vixen. 1 Quote Link to post

Sounds like some lamping type scrote has missed it with a red lamp. I get quite a few of them here and they can be a real challenge. Quote Link to post
