beatingisbest Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 I have a friend who goes on my pheasant shoot who got 280 rabbits in 3 hours. There were 2 guns and they were using .22LR's How many is the record for the number of rabbits in one night shooting? It will be interesting to know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunganick Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 okay, so its slight overkill being able to carry 40 tons..... but you never know how many you might need to carry :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilishdave Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Most I have had in a night is 60 to one rifle. Over a large area that is not to heavely populated and you can only stay on the tracks no going inthe fields I could see 280 being feasable if vehicle mounted in an area that is infested with them.

beatingisbest Posted January 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 thaey just used a pickup to carry them in and i think he said the land was near a grain barn, hence the reason they were called in. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teal Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 The best I've managed was 46 in a night in a couple of hours with a shotgun on a vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 There is an area near me where 4 or 5 people could do that in an evening, not easily but it could be done. I heard of 4 guns on a trailer shooting 200+ in an evening before giving up, using shotguns. This area is ex landfill and has rabbit proof fencing all around but as the ground is so soft that they just dug underneath and have since bred like - well, rabbits. According to the guy I spoke to some areas are so infested the ground wouldn't suppoprt a tractor any more, and if you look accross the field on a summers evening you wouldn't doubt it :blink: And yes, I have asked about permission, but I was told 'it is being looked after' :blink: just not very well! What a waste... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 I think Mr Pieman got a rake of bunnys one night and posted the results here. I was looking for it, but have not come across it yet, will keep trying, unless someone beats me to it. :blink: :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
