Its land my family farm, recently taken on and the only bit we have with Rabbits. So it’s the first time I have done much lamping and I just wanted to get peoples general thoughts. I enjoy shooting but the aim is to get the numbers down. I have been on it once or twice a week recently, usually starting a few hours before it gets dark. I thought I was well on top of it but with all the young that have appeared this week I got 19 over about 60 acres on Saturday night and another 3 this afternoon. I'm using a Tracer Max with a red filter, would the Rabbits be less likely to run if I had a

My dads two .22 are on his, mine and his friends certificates. We are all ok to use and store them in our own cabinets.

Thanks for the replies. The area I shot is about 60 acres, the rest of the farm is Rabbit free. When we first started farming it I went more often, it’s just now the Rabbits are becoming lamp shy so I didn’t know if less often would be more affective. From the replies it seems a couple if times a weeks will be ok. I usually get between 5 and 10 a night so I will keep at em. Cheers guys

Hi, I shoot Rabbits with a 17 HMR usually at night with a lamp. I was wondering how often is too often. Is it possible to shoot too frequently? At the moment I shoot an area once maybe twice every couple of weeks. I would like to shoot more but don’t want to over do it. How often do you go out and what would be too much? Cheers
