Went out for a few hours to show how i undertake my hunting trips to a newcomer to the shooting/hunting scene. Arron was impressed that he got to shoot his first rabbit using my rifle.
This was a poor rabbit that had succumb to the dreaded myxi virus so the shot was taken to end this poor rabbits suffering. This is the only one we have found so far, but I am sure more will start to appear over the coming weeks.
They are still finding time to did holes along the hedgerows and we foundaround 30 new warrens along the field edges.

I was watching the rabbits come and go from the sugar beet crop, but Iwas just too far to get a clean shot off....I feel a lamping session coming up real soon.

A big hello and well done to Aaron....althou it brings with it sad news of the miyi virus.....i'm sure that on this shoot it may well spread due to the fact, the gamekeepers have been hitting the fox's hard over the last year or so ..leaving a broken link in the food chain thus the over crowding of mr rabbit and family,,, leading to this very infection
