Had a call from Stuart a few days ago asking if i would go and have a look at a field that a farmer asked if he could sort a few rabbits.Had a look and there were a few about so we decided to have a night session last night.We wrapped up well as the forecast was mixed with rain and snow showers and it was going to be cold and windy.

Most of the rabbits were coming from a neighboring piece of land to graze on this field so we had to try and get rid of a few.

We set up a couple of hundred yards apart and the shooting was steady nearly all night.We had to shelter in the vans a couple of times during the night once for a snow shower and again for a heavy rain shower.

We left the rabbits where they fell and collected what rabbits we could when it got light this morning.

It was a pleasant suprise to find we had got more than we were expecting to when we counted up.

We picked up 87 rabbits of which 2 large rabbits had myxy so we slung those before the photo.

We had 49 good large rabbits and 36 small rabbits which should please the farmer.

It was another good day out with Stuart and we have certainly made a mark on the rabbits at this place this year.The farmer should notice a big difference in his wheat crop yield next year.
