aister Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 I had a great walk today with my eldest son Jacob. So far this has been the nicest day this year so we took the rifle and went for a look to see if we could bag a few rabbits. With the lovely day most of the rabbits were out and about rather than sitting up in the long grass but we did find a few with Max pointing a few too. It wasn't all shooting, Jacob wanted to explore the old croft buildings that are dotted around the hill at the back of the loch below our house, and the old mills that are along the side of the burn that comes out of the loch. We ended up with 9 rabbits (2 of which were shot after the pictures were taken). Old croft house with our house in the background. Old mill. Max pointing a rabbit. Max retrieving a rabbit. The bag so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underdog Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Charming....very nice. You must see some bad weather there! Glad you had a special day. Do the rabbit have thicker coats up there? U Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aister Posted April 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Their coats are just the same underdog, they just wear thermals underneath We can get some horrendous weather up here, this last winter has been the worst winter for a long time as far as wind goes, it was gales pretty much from the end of October through to December. Good fowling weather though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
