amishboy Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 To set up a rabbit trap is fairly simple, just use a non slip loop and a steak banged into the ground.The problem is that it can cause the rabbit distress if it is not killed fairly quickly and none of us want that!!Will a (it's the air pistol i have) Hy Score .22 pierce the skull and kill thr rabbit outright?I ask on humane grounds.Lawson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitsinhedges Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Just stretch its neck. You're right though, much as I used snares when I was younger they are cruel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amishboy Posted April 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Cheers, Mate, I just thought that despatching with a strong solid air pistol would be quicker! Lawson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sitsinhedges Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 By about 10 seconds If this terrified animal sits still and you're accurate. Just grab it, and with your palm facing towards its head put your index and middle finger either side of its neck and under its chin then stretch it whilst tilting its head back. You will feel its neck break instantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Mat Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 By about 10 seconds It is alot quicker to grab the rabbit and break its neck than it is to line up the air pistol and get the shot placement correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
