pigeonblasterian Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Went to have another go at shooting some rabbits this afternoon.With all the rain we had the other day the farm track was full of puddles in the tractor ruts. I could tell someone had been down before me and when i got to where i was going to shoot one of the farmers had moved two larsen traps to the area. One had a crow in and another a few hundred yards away had a magpie. They had been moved there today as they were not there yesterday. Both the crow and magpie had been placed near to where a few rabbits usually sit out. I got settled down and after a while a rabbit did appear but it was very jittery and i could only put it down to the birds in the larsen traps. After watching for an hour and seeing the odd rabbit come out into the open only to be frightened by the birds flying about in the traps i moved. The good thing is the traps do get moved usually every few days so should be back to normal soon. Managed to get another five today so i keep getting numbers down slowly.

pigeonblasterian Posted April 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 nice shooting ian what gun was you shooting 22lr or 17 hmr Using hmr but went this afternoon only shot six rounds and got one rabbit. I have not cleaned it for a couple of months. Think it needs a clean and then zero it on targets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing about so after two hours riding round decided to go home for rifle and go rabbit shooting. Lots about but easily spooked will have to go after dark to make a dent in them.
