    I haven't posted much on here as it's just more and more pictures of rabbits, 49 shot this evenings and just under 400 since the start of the year.
    Big numbers and no sign of slowing down.
    I spoke to a professional shooter two weeks back who was using thermal and he shot 1360 odd in one night and reckoned that was out of one large gully and he still had the rest of the farm still to go.

    The T1x 17hmr cleaned out a few more pests from the berry orchard last night.

    I've shot a lot of rabbits off this one little property in the last couple of months. Not many left now.

    Took the daughter out for her first hunt whilst I was doing a little local pest control and smashed a few pigeons for a farmer, have to admit it was bloody good to have a gate opener/cheer squad
