Luckyshot Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 My lamping partner is ill at the moment so I went to a few horse paddocks I have recently picked up where the owners dont like anyone lamping there (day shooting only) but want rid off all the rabbits. These paddocks only add upto 25 acres but are surrounded by farm land that is crawling with rabbits and the farmer wont let anyone shoot there. I laid down on the shed roof and started to pick the rabbits off with my hmr. The noise doesnt realy bother them and they were just sitting around waiting to be shot. I lay on 3 different shed roofs and managed to shoot 47 rabbits and 1 hare in 3 hours. The owners didnt even realise that I had turned up to shoot as they have never had anyone shoot at night due to no lamping and didnt realise night vision was that good. They have now asked me if I could manage to get there once a month at least as they were very happy with the final bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yankeedoodlepigeon Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 why do they not like the lights when lamping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckyshot Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 why do they not like the lights when lamping? Complaints from a couple of the local residents including the awkward farmer next door. Doesnt really bother me as its nice to get out with the night vision every now and then.
