FOXHUNTER1 Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Had a quick hour out last night to a farm that had cut a few fields. Ratch had his .17 HMR and I had my .243 Ratch started off shooting a bit of ground game before a bullet head lodged in his barrel putting and end to his shooting for the night , shame really as there was quite a few rabbits about Anyway I also managed to shoot a fox which took the 100 grainer a couple of inches behind the shoulder and continued to run for around 50 yards before collapsing at our feet :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redtailhawk1 Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Good shooting. Not a dig but the hares still have young this time of year and a shame to kill them. Just my thinking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 I wasn't worried I was just thinking those rabbits look a bit long legged! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOXHUNTER1 Posted August 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 I wasn't worried I was just thinking those rabbits look a bit long legged! Its as plain as the nose on your face that they are hares Why do people have to nit pick , Ive shot my permissions for over 20 years and populations of all quarry are sustainable. Its up to me what I shoot and Dont shoot and Dont need any advice from anyone else. Rabbits and pigeons have young at this time of year also , does that stop people shooting them???

I'm not nit-picking, I'm just asking a perfectly innocent question as I don't have any experience of hares and was just interested.

Thunderbird Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Our local farm shop was selling frozen bags of chopped 'mixed game' last year, which included rabbit and hare. Made a brilliant stew and pies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
