ellebarto Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 I'm just floating this about for suggestions and it might seem a bit mad! I've got a permission riddled with bunnies and the landowner is desperate for me to make a serious dent in the numbers. My problem is that there are footpaths and even a campsite in the general vicinity and even the field itself undulates a bit so no one, two or even three positions give you good and safe arcs of fire along a good portion of the perimeter. Ive tried my air rifle but the land puts them just out of reach and the rifle just wouldnt be safe. I started thinking about putting some sort of raised position at the centre of the boundary, actually amongst the hedgerow. Kind of a high seat or small scaffold tower. Only 1 to 2 meters but enough to give me a more commanding field of fire. Now this is for bunnies not deer and whilst I dont mind spending a bit of cash to kit myself out to do the job, its not like I'm wild boar hunting! Anyone had a similar issue or have a suggestion?

henry d Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Small extending ladder, spray can of matt green and some sort of plastic school type seat(with drain holes in it) some wood and off ya go. Sure you can do the maths on how to set it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
