Went to one of my permissions where I have been busy trying to keep the crows down with the 12g, but had noticed that there were a few rabbits around.So I thought that a early evening sorta was required with the HMR.I only take 30 rounds in one of the plastic ammo holders sold on one of the web sites.Oh dear I nearly needed more :good: A walk through the woods produced the 1st rabbit then onto a corner where I know there are lots which come from an adjoining landowner.Settled dwn and within 45mins ended up with 9. Left there and wandered to the next field which produced 1. Wandered down to a stream where rabbits were enjoying the sunset, got another 2, back to the previous field and got another double :rolleyes: As the sun was now setting decided to retrace my steps back to the car and in doing so got 1 more at the fields edge, then another 2 from the edge into the woods.Took a few steps and a dog fox came out of the hedgerow , saw me and ran about 30yards, stopped to look at me :blush: bad move. Went back this morning to get a better photo and tooka few measurements. 43" from nose to tail end and 8 kilos or 16lb.Farmer was very pleased :good:
