Wonder how long it will be before I get the boys in blue turning up. The rabbits hang around on my section and are good cannon fodder.

It will happen, on one of the properties I shoot on, early this year one of the owners was walking about early one morning with his air rifle popping a few rabbits in view of a road.

Next minute he had armed defenders pointing semi autos at him, made him drop and spread eagle and body searched him.

Apparently a female prison officer on her way to work had seen a man with a gun so called 111.

The general public are so nervous about firearms these days I think this will be our new normal. :-(
