Successful rabbit hunt.

[Baxter]

I hunted, dressed and ate a lot of rabbit when I was a youth; provided a lot of the table-fare for my family. I always liked squirrel much better, but I certainly wouldn't pass on a meal of pan-fried rabbit in gravy. I always enjoy your posts, Brit.

Sounds like a nice outing. Grandkids don't/won't come with you?
I for one don't mind reading a hunting tale that ends with no game in the bag, if it is some sort of grand adventure. Doesn't mean it has to be an exotic multi day hunt somewhere far away. Other experiences with wildlife, interesting topography or changes seen, many things make a hunt, and thus a tale, worthy of sharing.

Smoothy, it's not what you go home with (kind of is), it's the experience that counts.

Here are other photos taken whilst out and about.

The bird is a garden warbler. It took me an hour to get a few decent shots.

WOW!!!! Those photos are Great. Love the warbler, an hour well spent.
Are those other birds a type of quail?

Thank you for sharing.

Like all of your photos.

Are French partridge related to chukars? They resemble them.

Good job Brit! I go for the whole experience not just the meat in the pot. But that can be a great ending to a great outing.

Yes sir, they are. Also called red legs.

Only this .45 has a front and rear sight Howie. All my other smoothbores just have a front sight. With shot I just use the front on the 45.
A 54 or 58 would be equally an excellent choice. I don't have my .58 guns any more but they were naturally tight with shot to thirty yards with just an ounce of shot.
