ticklemouse89 7 Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Is it any good shooting in the snow for rabbits Quote Link to post
clived 0 Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 ticklemouse; I,ve been trying it -they are still about and you don,t need to lamp as they show up at night against the white backgroud. The noise of the snow under foot is a problem. Quote Link to post
saharashadow 26 Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Footfall noise certainly is a problem in the snow, but remember that you are also far more visible to them. Quote Link to post
The one 8,398 Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 I dont bother you make too much noise crunching about in the snow Quote Link to post
halamrose 24 Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Lots of tracks to help you know what might be where another time. 1 Quote Link to post
Roy64 3 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 On one of my perms I haven't seen a rabbit for 3 months (don't do night time),too much rain I suspect.Went out yesterday in the new snow and found several areas with rabbit tracks for next time. Only went for a mooch and some fresh air,but thoroughly enjoyed seeing all the previous nights activity of Badger (everywhere),fox,rabbits and pheasant + the local cat. Quote Link to post
cyclonebri1 8 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Lots of tracks to help you know what might be where another time. That's the great thing about fresh snow, you find stuff you didn't even know was about, but I agree about footfalls, it's not so much crunching, it's the "thump" you get when snow finally gives under full body weight. I have a bigger issue with this than most. Woodland camo doesn't cut it in the snow I'm afraid, but after rolling down a snow covered bank the other day I think I have the answer I've tried pigeon shooting a few times this last week, they are gone from me at the moment, too much deep snow.

jackinbox99 41 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 buy a painting suit, cheapest camo you will buy i got mine for £1.00 Thats a damn good idea. Ive been out shooting rabbits a couple of times in the snow. As others have said, they really stand out against the snow - but then again so do you. So it was very much a case of hiding down a ditch and keeping quiet until they came out. Quote Link to post
