shooting wood pidgeon and hare

[bumble 2]

Jesus another one! What is is about shooting hares? I shoot a couple a year for the pot and leave them be the rest of the year. I don't see what the big bloody deal is

 

Incidentally i use one of these when i'm pigeon shooting... very handy

 

Dont remember having a pop at you. Landowners where i shoot dont want them shot. Simple.

 

And my names not Jesus. Cheers.

where i live there are loadsof hares and they need to be kept under control as they can do alot of damage to some crops and young trees so we shoot them the first too days in feb.

 

like said hold back legs turn head and pull its the best way .

Don't shoot a hare. They provide more pleaure to watch than to shoot. They are not vermin but are classed as game. Leave them alone.

dont takeit the rong way but you sound like one of those antis replying to a youtube hunting vid

i normally because there bigger and harder than rabbits grab the back legs lay the head side ways on the floor put mi foot on the head and give a good yank that usually does the job

the ground we have teh farmer doesnt want teh hares shot either, which is cool. It is good to just watch them and teh way they run around. Gathering knowledge when they are plentiful enough to shoot again

For a pigeons put its neck between 2 fingers and and make and O motion for a rabbit grab its back legs and karate chop its neck you may have to move the ears this is the quickest without mess.

give them a handjob as mentioned by fellow shooters

i bleed them.. rabbits/hares/pigeons. Kills them in a couple of seconds and the sudden pressure drop in the animal causes loss of consioucnous straight away.

for pigeons i have ground down a pair of pliers so as they very thin. i then just put them round the pigeons neck and squeeze, it breaks the neck easily and quickly, also looks better to bystanders than ringing a birds neck. for hares i get hold of there back legs with there belly away from me, tilt its head back a bit and then push down on the neck while holding the legs where they are.

just grap the head and spin them around becuase i dnt think it matters if the head comes off you dont eat it

[paddy.t 5]

was just thinking would anyone consider using a co2 pistol to dispatch quarry?

I would'nt mate , they only push out a couple of ftlbs... not really enough to do a humane job.

 

 

 

I'am sure a vast majority will agree that hares should only be shot with a .17 upwards,

I've seen hares on both hare shoots/walk round days hopping around even when shot with some of the heaviest of 12g loads. not the tool for the job. I'am not having a pop,its just my opinion through personal experience.
