That is not a man that is a machine

That is someone with a massive amount of rabbits and they should be under notice

I do know some guys that regularly got 300+. But it didn t take that long to shoot out....

Yeah mate, thought about it but not a good idea. Paperwork needs to filled out for each hunting area and I need a copy of the Hunter's gun license.
All I need is one young fella to cash in a poisoned animal and I'll be on Campbell Live for killing someone in Pauanui's $4,000 King Charles Spaniel....you get the drift.
I need reliable guys that won't cut corners. If it's a group of reliable guys and they stockpile in one freezer then that's fine.

Don't get too freaked on the paperwork guys, it's pretty basic really- 2 documents as follow:

The Landowner Poison Use one is valid for 30 days after signing, which makes it easy.

Not that many.
Guys up here on a good night are over 30 animals an hour.

Do you take carp? Cats love fish....

As I said, some rules are being bent.

I think this falls into the all to hard category. I'll stick to shootin em, and portioning off the legs to throw into my freezer for cat food.

Hare legs not cat food survy! get a decent cook and its as good as mutton.

You offering to be my Gordon Ramsey ?

Actually I have stopped shooting hares, ever since I found out they don't have as much off spring vs mr rabbittI thought I would give them a bit of breathing space to bring their numbers up, but yep it was said to me hares much safer to eat...
