the bunny was gut shot so i had to finish it off, and when i was taking the pictures another two kittens came out of a hole no more then a metre away, i picked up my bow and had a shot at one but it was too close and i shot too far to the left,(not sure if theres such thing as too close?) and then when i was gutting it two adult rabbit's came out of another hole infront of me but they knew i wasn't ment to be there and left the scene. i walked home to have a decent feed and then planned to head to my usual bunny spot. after i put a few shot's through my target just to make sure my arrows were still shooting accuratly i was on my way to the plateau. first i reached the creek and there were two nice sized rabbit's sitting in the sun but they both saw me and bolted. when i came to the bottom of the plateau i saw a feral cat sitting on a tree limb about 45m away unaware of my presence, i took a blury picture on my mum's 3xdigital zoom camera!!! and then got some footage of it running away, i didnt want to shoot it because i only had adder tipped arrows on me

. i done my usual walk around the plateau having the odd shot at rabbit's and managed to hit one but it rolled down the hill and then ran down it's warren:(. i only managed to snap one arrow which can be cut down and reused, anyway it was a good day blooding the vectrix and shooting my first rabbit using adder head's.
