Got the last 3 of these today at a little over 100m from what was a flock of 15 a few weeks back.. waited until two of them lined up and got them both with one shot then the third bird made the mistake or circling back around and landing to check out his mates having a dirt nap..
Unusual black saddle markings on the RH bird.. never seen that before

Don't worry more will replace them, I have whittled 12 out of about 20 in the last 2 weeks that have been a problem at my folks.
Still working on them but it's slower going now as they are very warey if they know I'm around.
What I do know is that once I clear this lot out more will move in and take over the territory.

Good job there @bing little buggers are hard to shoot, did you get him in the open, or was he feeding?
plucked head off rabbit with .223 somewhere between 96 and 98 yards....google earth measured afterwards. keep whittling away in council reserve,there might be 4 hares and 6 rabbits at most....very hard to get the last one.
That ferrets in good nick,too much tucker about
I went out yesterday afternoon with the 17hmr to see how many rabbits were about. I hadn't been out for a while & Mum was complaining about rabbits in her garden, so was expecting to see a few. Not many where I have concentrated on in the past but plenty in other areas, so I am making a difference.
I normally finish in the dark so I probably started too early & finished too early as there was still plenty of light to process the "catch", but had to get back home. I still managed 1 Hare & 4 rabbits including this one.

It had a huge growth on it's neck under the chin. Fairly firm, it had a couple of areas of thinning fir & a cattle tick on it. Otherwise the rabbit was in OK condition. Consigned it to the bushes.
