i've been out for a rabbit hunt for the last 2 sunday afternoons. last sunday i went to a nice paddock that has heaps of big blackberry bushes. i spied a little one at the edge of one and snuck around the bush. when i saw it again i was about seven paces away. it was snoozing in the afternoon sun unaware of my presence. i drew and let fly with an arrow tipped with one of my home made blunts. WHOA! carnage is the word! this is what i found a few feet into the blackberry bush.
i went out again yesterday and on the way back to the ute i spotted this one before it spotted me. it went behind a small rock which let me get to about 15m. it came out from behind it and stopped long enough to let me shoot. i hit in the chest and with the whack it took off. i followed where it went and about 25m from where i hit it it was laying dead. lucky find really. usually they find somewhere to hide. but hey we all get lucky sometimes.
sunset sometime last weekend.
here's a little kitten i caught while hunting a few weeks ago. i was walking around a house on one property where i hunt and i saw it run into a small pile of branches. i dropped the bow and went after it. i pulled the pile apart and there it was.
