hunting rabbits


Recommended Posts

Try lamping them if no one els has been on your perm they are more than likely not lamp shy but be carefull not to lamp them to much or they will become lamp shy and you will not get with in a mile of them and use bifferent filters on your lamp i shoot mainly at night and with good results :thumbs: give it a try atvbmac

 

was thinking of that need to get a good lamp first, thank for the gud advice ;-)

Get out at different times and try stalking into the wind to get a shot at them mate and if its a small stream they will just jump it mate

 

Thanks pal was down this morning just to have a look around and did not see 1, but was down last night and there was quite few.

 

Is there a best time for them?

Your going to have to try different time's with different weather condition as they all vary mate ans a dog walker might spook them ,but i reckon the first hour of daylight and the last are worth all the rest in between

Some good advice here. I always keep downwind of the rabbits and if you move slowly along the hedgerow you can sometimes get within range of them. Alternatively you can setup a hide, or even just hide down the ditch and wait for them to come out. I also make sure I shoot the rabbits away from their holes as sometimes they can bolt a bit after you shoot them if your slightly off target.

 

Lamp wise, ive had good results using just an old torch. If they arnt used to the lamp you`ll find you get quite good results initially but its the same as anything they soon seem to learn and get wary of you.

Nope, i was out last year in minus weather without any problems. I usually stick some trackie bottoms on under my dpm army camo stuff and its proper toastie. I did have to invest in some proper shooting gloves though to keep my hands warm without loosing trigger feel.
