hi lads
i got my .17 licence today so i will be straight down to the range to get use to the rifle and then when thats done i am finally going to get a chance to go shoot some bunnies for the first time. my uncle is going to bring me out but before i get that far i have a few {possibly silly:eek:}questions
1: is there a season for rabbits?
2: where do you shoot the rabbit? head/shoulder.....
3: whats the best time of day to go?
4: besides the gun what else do i need?
5: i never heard of someone eating a fox so what do i do with one if i shoot it?


now im sure my uncle will tell me all these and more but i like to try be a little prepared;)

cheers
tommy

1 there is no season for rabbits but dont shoot every rabbit you see on your permission this makes a lot of sence because if you shoot all the rabbits eventually there will be no rabbits

2 if the rabbits are for the pot the best and only place is head shots

3 i find in the evening is the best time to shoot rabbits

4 make sure you bring your licence with you its your only form of id to show you are licensed to carry a firearm

5 if you do shoot a fox stick him in the pot and give him a go and let everyone here know what there like :D:D:D

HAPPY SHOOTING

If its your first time out shooting rabbits dont be too upset wirh yourself when your excitement and adrenaline cause your aim to be ridiculously shakey

2. Alot of shooting rabbits is getting a safe shot on them too, well that goes for anything you shoot.

3 Along with evening rabbits can be lamped at night too. Although it can be more difficult.

4. Something to put dead rabbits into, like a bucket or plastic bags. They might be bleeding and if you're driving you hardly want blood in your car.

5. Put him in a remote ditch. Or take a picture first if you want. You could skin him and tan the skin but thats another skill to be learnt. I wouldn't try eat one myself.
