I have watched various documentaries, Australia has some of the most venomous species of snakes. That would probably put me off being in nature to a large extent, without the proper equipment and antidote in my backpack 🙂
I didn't know you had such a big problem with rodents (rabbits).
You did a good job.
Do you leave those killed rabbits in the field where they were shot, to be eaten by other wild animals, or do you collect them and bury them?
I remember when my friend went hunting for rabbits with his father (sport hunting), to learn to shoot with a carbine, he mounted the optics, but his father took them off and told him: "This way is fairer, we'll give the rabbit a little chance, and you'll learn to shoot too".
The result, he returned home with zero hits.
One doesn't carry the antidote in the back pack as one doesn't know what snake will bite and they need to be refrigerated anyway.
The process is:
As for the rabbits, the stay where they lie, digging graves for them isn't time effective. They get taken by other animals, birds, ants and all and when foxes come around to eat them they get shot too if seen.
