OUT CHASING RABBITS :) :)
I have been out to this little area, about 30ks from Shepparton, which has some rabbits running around, but they are a bit of a problem trying to get at before they run into cover, they are situated in an old dry creek bed,(which is right out in the open)amongst heaps & heaps of old fencing wire, old concrete slabs, old fridges, cupboards and every thing else you can imagine, even old car bodies. I have been trying this spot for over three months now, without any luck so far, but I am getting closer, I have found the rabbits always see me coming :oops: and head to cover under the heaps of wire etc, I have set myself up in several spots hoping the little blighters will show themselves, but no luck to date, I purchased a 3D suit (my xmas present for myself) and thought this would be the go, this helped me get in amongst all the rubbish with rabbits wondering what was this!!, but I could not get into the right position to have a crack at them, as the seem to disappear under the wire and rubbish in the dry creek bed, I have waited for these bunnies (in a spot where I thought they would show) twice now, and today (2/01/2006), I thought I was on a winner, I waited amongst old car bodies, after about an hour waiting up popped one then two and when you look around further there are more and more showing themselves, but always the other side away from where I am , so no luck again tonight, but hopefully I have now worked out where to wait next time, as this area had 10 rabbits feeding about, I will give this another go later in the week, get amongst some old trees and hopefully get a shot at one, I had one rabbit pop up near me, but heaps of old fencing wire in the way of a clear shot, no doubt I could get a rabbit if I took the rifle out, but would only get one , as any movement or sound always makes the rabbits high tail it, they did not seem to see me in my 3D suit , only when I started walking back to the car, and then they were not sure what I was at first. So I will keep at it until I at least get a shot at one, and better still bag one. Will take some photos next time I am out there.
