    Funny as it may seem, i have thought of this as well, and i have also wondered if you could ride a horse and stalk.
    You could cover up in clothes the same colour as the horse and then you should be able to get up close and pick them off, any budding cowboys out there?

    there was a guy on here a day ago - posting about a willow arbour he's using as a garden hide.

    I just keep seeing images from "Dads Army" - and the episode with the tree

    YES,

    I know it sounds funny..but I have actually done it. We did not wear anything special we were out in usual como kit. It works an absolute treat.We got so close we could hardly shoot for laughing at he simplicity of it. The front guy justs bends forward a bit, drops his head forward and holds his gun by his side, the back guy hold his waist and bends forward with gun tucked in facing backwards as the back half. You need to get completely out of step (as a quadraped) you can make as much noise as you like with your feet. As you get close, the front chap quietly raises the gun and bingo dead rabbit. We were told about this and thought it was absolute B****ks so out of scientific interest we tried it and yes it works. WE seemed to become invisible.
    As for stalking on horseback..I have never tried to shoot from a horse, I would have to practice with a very sound horse, I do know when I am out riding the bunnies just ignore you...

    Best mornings shooting we have had for years.

    Take care, Voldemort (I did post details of this on the old BBS, I dont know if we can access the post now)
