    pesties for today

    Not a lot today.
    Picked up a rabbit at the end of the day.
    I am starting to think the virus has been active, found a dead rabbit so it's going to be sent away for testing.
    The numbers have dropped and they are hard to fine, and that's not been a problem before.
    Time out it's in the post + the extra's

    Maybe I am missing something with my obsession to kill rats - but my wife was not keen on the idea of a new pet even if it was a pretty colour

    Well that is just fucked up. One day she'll pass out and those rats will eat her.

    The blow gun is just a length of rigid plastic pipe 1.3m long with a 7mm internal diameter.
    The darts are 3" nails that have been filed down,both to sharpen and to lose weight. I then put a few crimps on the with a set of side cutters so I can tie on some fake feathers.

    Depending on the dart, it's accurate out to about 1.5m and within that range the point comes out the far side.

    It's very easy to get within 2.5m of the critters, and some of them a lot closer-I may have cheated and taken some peanuts with me.
