Thread: wanted small game hunting tips

In the never ending quest to update my hunting skills, I'm after small game hunting tips.
Mostly hare and rabbit day time tips but all small bird, cat especially ferret, stoat which Ive seen one of here but never seen one to shoot day or night.
Though I'm an air rifle hunter, info from longer distance powder burner shooters on observations of where they find targets be helpful too.
Couple I've found that are useful from observation are, watch where the hawks are searching, be aware of bird life, their alarm calls put everything on alert.
Scan the rock strewn areas in paddocks, critters get wary of red light after a while.
Hit small birds like starlings hard and fast, they get way onto it after a couple of days.
Any technique that ppl have found useful would be appreciated.
