theres nothing quite like a nice warm spa after a hard afternoon hunting.....
We are a little rabbit infested here. There are several families of
bunnies living in various places round the property. It's a bit
of an issue since we aren't that keen on poisons. Husband was
very taken with a high powered air rifle at the Small Block Expo until
he saw the price tag, so it stayed there.
However Herbie the burmese has taken it upon himself to address the
problem. Over the last week he has had 4 rabbits. Number 1
was only a baby and he left it dead but intact under the dining room
table. Number 2 was slightly bigger but still alive. After his humans
dispatched it for him Herbie didn't like it any more and it was duely
buried. Number 3 was full grown and he neatly beheaded it in our
walk in wardrobe. As I got down on hands and knees to clean the
blood off the carpet I noticed he was also storing two dead mice in the
corner (yum). Number 4 was probably full grown - it was
hard to tell as he had fairly well taken it to pieces in the hall
- not nice.
At this rate we should be all out of rabbits by the end of the
month.... and while I am pleased he is catching them it would be far
more pleasant if he left them outside, and in one piece.

LOL yep very good hunter. And I am pleased he is leaving the birds alone in favour of four legged pests. Not sure what he is trying to achieve by pulling the rabbit to pieces though - maybe a piece for all of us??? (in which case he can't count he didn't need eight bits)
He's out prowling now - probably looking for the next one.
I am going to be investigating the bunny catching prowess of a live trap in due course as I am getting one tomorrow - $122 suitable for possums and wild cats. After we've done the possums it might be worth trying it on the rabbits. We used to catch (and release) a few birds in Nelson, so as long as the bait is right can't see why not.
That was bird catching by accident by the way not by design...
