    North Otago Rabbit shooter

    Hi

    Hoping someone can help me get rid of rabbits and the occasional hare on my lifestyle property a few km north of Oamaru. I live next to the highway and have livestock so will need a careful, responsible person to shoot the rabbits.

    Welcome to the forum Rabbits. I am sure that there will be a long queue lining up to help you
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Welcome rabbits.
    Im sure you will get the help you need but have you considered shooting them yourself? They taste good.!

    Hi again

    I was thinking that I would receive an email when a response to my original question was posted - oops.

    In response to one of the posts - sorry but I wouldn't be interested in doing the shooting myself, I'm not a hunting or fishing person at all and I'm not a meat eater either (she says ducking for cover). But I do need to address the problem of the bunnies on my place before they really get out of hand.

    LOl Northland is a long way from North Otago. With only 4 posts and none since OCT 2013 I don't think you will get a reply but you never know.
