Thread: 300m hare gun

Guess what, me too. Ol' thread.

Jesus, a hare that’s good at telling time and showing up, sounds more desirable than workers who can’t tell the time.


I take pity on the hares, they only give out 1 offspring per cycle don’t they ? I usually let them go, they are pretty neat.

Hope you don’t let him go to waste if you drop him.

But otherwise intercept him with the 22; lie down wearing a pair of green overalls; they're pretty easy to crawl up on.

When I was a kid we had a .20 (yes .20) bolt action Sheridan pump up air rifle. Due to Muldoon's import laws the pellets became unavailable. .22 slugs were too big; and .177 were too small and fell out of the barrel if you pointed it down. But they were the only option.....

It was accurate with V-sight to about 5m; 10m was stretching the accuracy and power! So I had to stalk to within about that distance to have any joy. Of course, headshots were mandatory. I'd hate to say how many rabbits and hares I got with that old gun, but it did entail a lot of crawling on your belly while wearing green overalls! I even nailed a stoat with it as it climbed up a barberry hedge looking for nests!

Fuck...thats dedication..I stalked a cock-pheasant for 2 weeks,(12yr-old at the time) never got him, and he constantly took-the-piss, knowing I was after him. Got royally bollocked when my Uncle realised what I was up to (.22) and yep, nicer to watch him , beats an empty hill-side

Haha..just figured the "died of old age" comment
