Power ranger Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 (edited) Hi all, does anyone see many white rabbits (or very light couloured) whilst out shooting ? Was out lamping with a friend twice last week we saw a virtualy "white rabbit" in the same area on both visits. The first time we were walking the land looking for a good stalking area when we got the usual motionless bright eye glint in the beam so we aproached slowly and it didnt move a muscle. In disbelief i took a standing shot at about 35 yards. not my favorite stance and totaly missed. It bolted imediatly in a large ark round us and vanished through the hedge. On later discusion we both agreed we had cut him of from his hole on our aproach. Saw it again on the second visit, watched him closely for several mins then spooked him to see if it took the same route, and it did ! I'm out on the hunt tomorow night determined to bag this one ! THANKS ALL FOR YOUR COMMENTS. Edited March 25, 2009 by Power ranger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleeh Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Well, if you see it again, and really want to shoot it - do it with a shotgun so there's something left to look at (possibly Taxidermy job). White Rabbits Arn't unheard of, but are pretty rare - everything can carry the albino defect, so I'm sure it's possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warlock Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 White or light coloured rabbits are a genetic defect, rabbits rely on the brown colour they are for camo, they also rely on this brown colour to contrast with the white flash of fur under their tales to warn of danger. If your a white or light colored rabbit you don`t really stand much chance of passing on your genetic material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 I've seen a few black ones but never white. Shoot it before something eats it. I doubt it will last long if it stands out like that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 I`ve shot 2 pure white, albino, wild rabbits as well as a few fawn, black and patched with white like a palomino horse. So although not absolutely rare, they are uncommon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarpa Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 I knew a warren that had mixed wild rabbits plus about 3 - 4 released pet ones.... black and white colouration. They only lasted a season or two though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
