Luckyshot Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 I took a mate of mine around one of my farms last night as he wanted to shoot a few rabbits. We headed off in my Defender to have a drive around with me lamping and my mate shooting. I haven’t lamped this farm for a few months which you could tell as there were plenty of rabbits to go at. He was using his 17 and I took my 22 and 243 as we were going onto his ground after we mine and he doesn’t have a fox calibre any more. After driving the first field he accounted for 17 rabbits for 19 shots so he was doing pretty good so far. Onto the next field I drove round the bottom edge and there were loads of young rabbits spread all over the field, after shooting 9 of them we lost every one as they were just sticking there heads out of the hole and once shot they were just ending out falling back down the hole. We decided to leave these for now as we plan on ferreting this land in the next couple of weeks. Moving onto the next field the 17 took another 12 rabbits in quick succession so moving onto the last field on this farm another 28 rabbits were added to the bag. 20 minutes drive saw us at my mate permission where it was my turn to shoot this time hares were on the menu as there are not many rabbits on this ground. With me driving and shooting I managed to shoot 7 hares and 1 leveret. Just as we were leaving the farm my mate caught a young fox in the lamp, a quick squeak and it came running in to around 75 yards before the 243 put it to bed with a very satisfying head shot. Ending the night with 57 rabbits 8 hares and a young vixen. Fox head blanked out as you can imagine what it looks like behind the circle.
