njc110381 Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 I voted for pigeon because 1. they taste good, and 2. I find them by far the biggest challenge. If I could hit pigeons with my newly aquired 12g as often as I get a rabbit with my air rifle, I'd be a very happy lad! Rats are **** you can't eat them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarka Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 never shot a rat so thats out of the question cant really pick out of rabbit and pigeon the beauty of using air rifles is that each quarry species is such a challenge to get near enough for a good shot.

Do they appear in the daytime quite often or do you have to plot up for the night and wait for them ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNAKEBITE Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 As a rule of thumb rats are nocturnal feeders but they do come out in the day if the conditions are o.k. Town rats are a law unto themselves but you won't be shooting those so that is irrelevant really! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
