i go with Phantom. i have permissions with rabbits and there habits change from one place to the other. a few visits at various times and you will soon work it out. i also try to change the times i go to places i think it helps guard against them getting to wise to my game plan! good luck and regards P

thanks mat_hooks, not to many people seem to like it to much these days. .243 would be a good option but i need .270 minimum. i get a night shooting license from deer comission and it states .270 minimum for night shooting! kind regards P

sounds decent to me. I am no expert but might be tempted to put a couple more crows down if there is plenty showing. good lick lets us know how you get on!

Personally I find them a bit kicky and barky after using my 6.5x55, but they are damned effective. hi flyie would moderating it help with this? the 6.5 x 55 seems very popular might look further into this one! thanks kind regards

hi, over the last 2 years i have shot over 20 (maybe 25) on one of my permissions. this place had quite a few for many many years but they were getting to numerous so the farmer asked me to cut them back. we had a good go at them for the 2 seasons and are now hopefully at a level that the farmer is happy (he likes them to just not in large numbers) so they will be left to themselves again! maybe have 1 or 2 for the pot. i am voting "yes" to this this time but will probably be a "no" in the future. blue/mountain hares are plenty on the higher ground on other permissions. there a def

hi zoo's, wild life parks and prey bird rescue/sanctuarys are good places to get rid of dead stuff (rabbits squirrels pigeons) if NOT shotgun shot. my local zoo buys rabbits pigeons of me........ as many as i can get. feeds the wolves etc. gets me a couple of ££ not much but a few and saves waste. rats corvids etc as above. ferret keepers are alsways on the look out for free food and i know 1 farmer that feeds his dogs rabbits and his cats pigeons sometimes. kind regards P

hi all what i did, and has worked so for but with minimal testing, is to tie a knot in my snare wire at the correct distance from the eyelet large enough to stop the eyelet thus creating a stop fixed in place on all my "old" snares bringing them up to current legislation. saved me having to bin them and get new ones. regards P
-
i have from landys etc for rabbits many times with some great results if its just light like drizzle. not so good if the rains heavy. give it a try over a few senssions you will soon know. with the winter we have just passed the rabbits up my bits seem to be out in every weather at the mo. regards p

rabbit skulls are easy to get. sometime they have holes in em! but there would be plenty guys here that could get you them. mice and rats and voles are also easy to get if you know anyone with cats!! kind regards P -
its like elmer fud says!!! "BE very very quiet" good advice above. one other thing i will say is practice then practice and practice and after tyou have done that practice a bit more. lastly enjoy it even in the poor (blank) days. regards and good luck. P
