The most rabbits i have seen on my permision are normaly about just after a good down pour.

Ditto.

I think the operative word here is "after".

 

Whilst there may be regional variations and other factors involved, rabbits don't seem to like being out in the rain, if they can avoid it.

 

Overcast, windy conditions are near perfect, but I have never seen much on rainy days, or nights.

Get some Bananna skin's out at 25 yards for a bit of bait :o . To be honest, I've not tried it myself but you never know. :lol: A thought

 

RIGHT THEN A CHALLENGE TO YOU ALL. WHO IS THE FIRST ON HERE TO GET A FLUFFY BY BAITTING WITH BANANNA SKIN'S LOL

I find heavy rain and they bolt for cover (as do I) :lol:

 

Light rain or drizzle and they still sit near their burrows so make sure your shot counts and drops my long ears as if he manages to crawl back into his burrow YOU lose your bunny and HE dies slowly ;)

 

Oh and the MOST IMPORTANT BIT

 

Dry and Wipe your gun with an oily rag when you get home before storing :o

Very grateful for all the replys guys,

Went out on sunday and contrary to the weather report it wasnt raining. I finished after 3hrs of patience,with a small 2 rabbits. There was no rain to begin with but it gradually turned spitty and then the wind was blowing in all directions meaning that all angles of stalk(downwind of target) where all over the place. Any way i was fairly happy with two; had 'em in a nice dumpling stew. :sly::devil:

Cheers

SS
