scolopax Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 I managed to get some good rabbiting permission a couple of years ago when I dropped in to buy some raspberries at a small holding. I finished up shooting for three of her neighbours aswell. Best nights lamping was 54 October bunnies with a sub 12 ft/lbs air rifle.
