Hares being hunted.

[mitchell koster]

Its taken a while...

but..............

Dad finally got his .22lr fixed and we got to go out and have some fun
We went to a friends property about 5minutes down the road and sighted the rifle in the went walking through the paddocks looking for our next victim.

As we were skirting around the paddock we noticed a young doe across the paddock as she was eating. The wind was going the wrong way so she noticed but it was nice to she her

We kept skirting round the paddock sighting a few hares but none presented a shot We got the spot were we sighted the young doe run into the bush and there she was...

But this time she wasn't alone. There were 35 doe in this mob with varying colours from pure black to clean white. Because it wasn't season we didn't shoot any but it was really nice to see that there was a flourishing mob in our area.

We ended up getting 3 hares with distances ranging for 25m to 75m.

I'll post some pics of two of them. '

Have a good week.

Sound like a..

Hare-raising experience!!!!

First read you title, I was thinking of Snow-shoe Hares of the UP.

Just imagine shooting a dirty-white hanker-chief blowing across the snow.

Short barrel shotgun or scope .22 for sniping as they sit.
