Simon Roberts Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Well Saturday eve me, Marc m & Charcaridon went for a forray on a small permission Marc has in Clitheroe. Within 30 seconds of going into the 10 acre field (the grass was being cut on the driving range) i spotted 2 rabbits and got a quick left and right whilst they were bolting and took 2 bunnies. Very shortly after Andy (Charcaridon) got one that was bolting like Linford Christie! very shotly after he took another. We ended up with 4 in fisrt 10 mins. Shooting continued until around 12:45am (allbeit with lamps and Air rifles after dark) and we took 7 in total. They seemed to be VERY lamp shy and also ran at the faintest sound. any way heres a few pics (bottom 2 pics are some land not far from me that has a public road across and just thought was beautiful) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Roberts Posted July 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 well done lads Cheers the 2 i got were my first kills with the Lanber (or any shotgun). Didnt hesitate or make a mistake and took them cleanly. Cant wait to go again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fulltimeshooter Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 I only count 6! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carcharadon Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 I only count 6! Number seven was a little on the small side. it was taken with an air-rifle while it was running. Not a usual thing I do but it was running directly away and seemed to be possible so i risked it for once and got the result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stealth Stalker Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Well done lads, some nice sized bunnys there. Lovely pics aswell. Don't know that I'd take a moving shot with the air rifle though go for the humane head shot SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Roberts Posted July 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Yeah it sure is lovely around where we live. Marc went again on Sunday eve and took another 5. He seems to think they were showing early signs of Myxi but there was no sign on the 7 from Sat night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
