    Geez hotbarrels is that common over there to get so many, they must be everywhere
    Do you eat them or feed them to the dogs as a lot do over here ?
    They are pretty constant with the virus here as well that's why a lot don't eat them

    cheers

    We only shoot on one property as we are friends with the owners. There are lots of deer in the area and poaching is a major issue so farms a pretty closed shop. I'm not sure what other areas are like numbers wise.
    We don't eat them and I don't have a dog to feed so we leave them where they lay. Numbers are definitely down. My best three day telly was 1058 on my own.
    We have a fairly structured hunting program where by we hammer specific areas until we get no more rabbits before we move to a new area rather than taking the cream off the top and making everything else gun shy.

    Crikey mate that's not bad shooting 1058 on ya own for three days you would be honing your skills at
    that rate of shooting
    Rabbits used to be like that down south but the virus cleaned them up and you don't see any amount of numbers
    any more
    The farmers here are a little like the ones over there it's pretty much a closed shop unless you know someone
    that will get you on, I don't have that problem I know all the locals and farmers around me so access is not a problem
    its more than enough for me
    anyway good to have a yarn with you
    cheers

    Went for a wee walk to try & catch up with a pig that's being a right little PITA, bumped into this Guy who has been making a bit of a mess on the concrete



    I was a little concerned after some recent threads that my 6.5 Grendel just wasn't grunty enough, so I resorted to a size 12 Scarpa



    One mission accomplished

    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

    Two rabbits and a possum. Another rabbit was a missed opportunity, bounded off when it saw the light. Another possum missed fair and square. Just bad shooting.

    Rabbit cuts brining now. It's not that they taste bad, but they do dry out terribly with some forms of cooking. Thought I'd give brining a go. Nothing to lose.

    Just whack them in the slow cooker for 8 hours with some chicken stock, spuds, carrots and onion........ tasty.
    If there is lead in the air there is hope

    Out at Ambury this morning I was practically tripping over big fat rabbits. Why is it always when I'm unarmed?!
