steve_b_wales Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 I think that it would depend on the surrounding areas, ie, houses etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclemicky Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 If the fields are flat then 2.5 acres is really small , I cant see the local FAO letting you shoot over them Would a .22 air rifle not be safer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlander Posted June 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 i thought about the air rifle but the rabbits are very shy and you can only get about 50 yards away from them lowlander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digit Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 Try and get permission from adjoining land owners after all they will be your neighbours, and youll be sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
