Thread: Spotlights for rabbits

Depends on the farm. On one farm I have to walk. All the paddocks are small and lots of bunnies around the sheds are spooky, so I walk.

And some of the others are huge with no tracks!

Some of the best shooting you will get - and big numbers - is by walking terrain at night. We popped over 1000 in an evening twice about 3 years ago and almost all of that was walking with torches.

You can use a powerful headlamp to spot them or perhaps a maxtoch on a a neck lanyard. When you see your animal just drop the torch bring the rifle up and pop the scope light on. Or you can just use the light mounted on your rifle to sweep paddocks.

Either way you don't want a big lightforce or similar for this job. Not when an M24 weighs just 270gms and is more powerful.
