dogs-n-natives 1,182 Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 This area has populations with black, and populations with white around thier necks or front leg(s). Sorry, but this is the only pic on my computer showing a blackun, was a walk around me farm last autumn, all shot with the air rifle. Good sport. A red-leg, four bunnies, a pheasant and a young gamekeeper! Quote Link to post

trappa 518 Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 I got a new bit of permission near me, loads of rabbits and saw 2 black ones last night. Didnt shoot them, for some reason i wouldnt want to eat them?!? dont know why! Shot about 10 incidentally and took for young ones for the pot. Quote Link to post
