Afternoon Shooting Rabbits

butta9999 · March 2, 2009, 11:52 PM

Went for a hunt yesterday afternoon at my dad's work again. Had some good fun bagging 20 rabbits and 1 ferral cat.. Bonus

Used my trusty brno again with winchester subsonics. Brought 18 home for the pot, 2 found there way down the burrows.

All head shots apart from 2 which were high chest shots.

By dusk the paddocks and plantations were crawling with rabbits, most i have seen for years.

I only had 6 up until about a half hour before dark. Shot 14 in about half hour, was like the good old days.

Enjoy

Looks like alot of fun, makes me want to go, but what's a brno? Maybe I'm just dumb

hogdogs · March 3, 2009, 12:11 AM

Not dumb! They started a new thing on the net yesterday called "GOOGLE"

I typed in brno .22 and found they are a CZ...

Hey Hogdogs that bloody cat took a bullet through the eyes and it went ballistic, they are tough buggers.

A nice feral cat!
I love that as a sizzling hot plate with black bean sauce and it looks like a young-in to.

butta9999 · March 3, 2009, 02:35 AM

I suspect he's making a crack about Chinese restaurants. It sounds like jokes I've heard in that vein before, in any case.

Dark humor

Noce outing.

hardhit · March 3, 2009, 06:24 AM

Yeah the guys are spot on there just a little humor aimed at Chinese restaurants

All though my wife and I did eat some cat back a few years ago when we were on holiday in Vietnam we only found out when we asked our guide a few day later, they also eat dog on a regular bases.

hunter33 · March 3, 2009, 11:12 AM

Nice job. Wish I could bag out like that here

hogdogs · March 3, 2009, 11:20 AM

Hunter... the bad thing for us is they have no clue what "bag out" is on the OZ bunnies! Hundreds a day are fully legal!

hunter33 · March 3, 2009, 11:51 AM

Baging out for me would be a couple nutria and a couple of rabbits.

To get 10+ rabbits would mean I would have to go to eastern Oregon.

DiscoRacing · March 3, 2009, 11:56 AM

nice

wish we had that many of them round here...

Big Bill · March 3, 2009, 01:06 PM

I'm surprised you put the feral cat out there like that. Some bleeding hearts may be offended. But, I'm not being critical. There ought to be open season on all feral animals (cats and dogs) at all times. There are just too many of them everywhere.

Bitmap · March 3, 2009, 01:56 PM

Nice harvest. How do you cook them?

I've got to get out and thin them out around my place. Garden season is coming soon and I don't like to share.

SKULLANDCROSSBONES65 · March 3, 2009, 03:29 PM

G'day. The only feral animals that have restrictions here are Deer. No firearms allowed in national parks. When I lived in Victoria it was not unusual to get that many rabbits in an evening or a couple of hours with a spotlight. Verry few in my part of Queensland.

12-34hom · March 3, 2009, 05:51 PM

Whats the matta, you ain't going to eat the cat too?

simonkenton · March 3, 2009, 06:12 PM

Good shooting! I hope you have a big freezer. I love rabbit meat.
Are rabbits native to Australia?

What is a paddock?

SKULLANDCROSSBONES65 · March 3, 2009, 06:57 PM

G'day.

What is a paddock?

It is a special place that the farmer sets aside for the rabbits to eat and dig their warrens in. Many farmers even plant crops there to fatten them up. Usually the trees are cleared and fences erected.

About as native as "White" man is.

Don't listen to smarty pants d-under... paddock is equal to a pasture or at times... field...

helps to have a NZ bud to communicate with!!!
