Guest varmartin Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Went out this evening for a couple of hours and walked around some recently acquired land 1/2 mile from my back door. I asked the land owner for permission to control his rabbit population, he was over the moon and immediately agreed to it. It consists of a small holding some holiday lets and a few paddocks holding chickens and a quantity of live stock. It is set in a valley with rolling gorse edged open fields and the ground has a high sand contents being a mile from the coast. Ideal bunny country, and a lot of them there are too. I estimated around 60 bunnies were visible on arrival. Here is a picture of the ones I shot in the first small field, easy pickings from 40 -80 yards with my .22lr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest varmartin Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Thanks for the replies guys. I dont think these rabbits have been shot at in a long time, there are some very big bunnies in them hills. I only ever go for head shots with the .22lr, but one did get hit in the chest cavity which was my fault as it was a off hand shot at 45 yards. I also saw a couple of foxes both could have been shot but I left them as the land owner expressed a liking for them... Along with the odd Roe Deer that he has seen.
