Yokel Matt 918 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Out with the .22 the other day to bag a few rabbits as I was getting pestered for some by the local butcher. Great summers evening and there were lots of tiddlers about which I was trying not to shoot until they get a little bigger... easier said than done when they are a way off in the grass. I was walking to pick up a decent size rabbit and was just a few paces away from stooping down to pick it up when I noticed this swarm of bees in the hedge directly above it. A swarm of bee's in June is worth a silver spoon and all that so I phoned the Farmer who got in touch with a bee keeping mate of his who was very appreciative. Needless to say I left the rabbit where it was as the swarm was a little 'lively'. I ended up with a good bakers dozen of biggun's for the butcher and an few half pint ones for myfelf for the bbq. Forgotten how much I like rabbit shooting in the evening 1 Quote Link to post

kieran222 0 Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Well done, it is nice to get out on a nice summers evening. Don't have too many rabbits around me at the moment so leaving them for a few months, just the odd one for the pot. Quote Link to post

lurchers 2,621 Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 nice easy swarm of honey bees for the local bee keeper mate and a nice bag of rabbits. Quote Link to post
rainger 0 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 You're lucky the bee's stayed put. I disturbed a swarm of something when shooting rabbits in the wood one year and before I knew it, they were all over me. Should have seen the sight of me legging it across a 20 acre field whilst ripping my camouflage off as they'd got inside. Naked and knackered at the other end of the field covered in stings. Must have been a bizarre sight for nature spotters. Quote Link to post
