That was a day out shooting rabbits on Sat. with the ferrets. Its one of my favourite shooting forms of shooting.

totally agree with you jonny it's great sport when one bolts with real authority. Nice bag it must be the only place in N.I. where there is rabbits because there is very little around my way.

Were you with your brit friends Jonny or on a solo mission ?

 

 

 

 

LB :lol:

the 2 lads from kent where over with us.

 

It's not an island near donahagadee is it?

 

teal your thinking of the copeland islands. the island in the picture is one of the islands on strangford lough that our wildfowling club has the shooting rights for.

Nice bag mate,

 

I think I will have to get a ferret myself if it can be that productive, I would have thought that after a few shots they start to become less keen to bolt but like your picture shows it looks a great method.

 

Some good shooting as rabbits are sometimes a litte tricky, well they are for me.

We had 6 ferrets in total and we split up on the island to cover it better. The ferret in the pic has two of its mates underground, it just popped up for a break :lol: .

 

I havn't done much rabbiting but on this particular day the rabbits did not bolt everytime and on occasions we had to go to a hole to release the rabbit from the ferret that had it by the ****.

jonny,do u have your shot gun moderated??? if not i would have thought the bangs would have made the rabbits stay at home ?  :lol:

The rabbits are only shot once or twice a year as the island is used for wildfowling mostly. so the rabbits havn't really got a clue whats happening. We had 5 guns out that day split 3 and 2 and were only shooting for 4 hrs.
