silly bunnies

[randal]

Went on my usual sunday monring bunny collection with my mate Swifty this weekend, only problem I had was a wounded leg from a cheetah at work, so instead of walking and stalking I sat in a pile of fallen logs and put the fox whistle to work. I called one up but about 15 metres away he turned and did the bolt, my guess is he smelt me in a very light wind drift. Oh well Ill get him next weekend or during the week. Swifty came back with 3 bunnies (the weekly quota for snake feeds at the zoo where I work), so we headed home. Some quiet morning refreshments and Swifty had to go. I went inside to get changed and saw a regular sight from my bedroom window, a small bunny on my range at my 40m target. The missus was away in Sydney so I could take any shot I wanted (not cause she doesnt let me shoot, but the shot is usually across the bed of which she highly disaproves of.....well OK).

The range finder said 36 metres, I had all the time in the world to take the shot as the bunny had not even suspected me in the window. I divided the 30m and 40m site pins held steady on the kill zone and let him have it. I startled his buddy who was sitting behind the target at the time and he came to sit in almost the same spot as the first one. I nocked another arrow and let him have it. Two bunnies from the bedroom, in less than a minute.

This morning was the same story as above. The missus left for work and again there was a bunny sitting by my goat target at 20 metres

Another silly bunny

I went into my room and grabbed my bow to return to no bunny. I went to make a cuppa and returned to see the bunny in the same spot. I grabbed my bow, nocked an arrow and put the 20m pin on its head, let the shot go to see my arrow hit the little fella fair in the head.

I had a similar episode a couple of months back when I was shooting at my 30m target when a hare ran out of some nearby bushes and sat right in front of the targer I was shooting at, so I let him have it as well.

I will put another post up soon and go through the steps to making the targets I use. the boxes only cost me about $3.00 each and the ply animal cut outs only about $10.00 each.

I am very fortunate to live where I do and have plenty of static and live targets to shoot, right in my backyard......happy days. Buy for now

Mate....you work in a zoo, have a house surrounded by targets and shoot critters from your bedroom. You could possibly be the luckiest man in the world!!!!

I am VERY keen to learn a bit more about your target set-up when you get a chance.
