Little Butch 16 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 I've had a bit of Permission for a while now but couldn't get my PCP Filled so never had a chance to go up there. Got rid o' the PCP now and am after a Springer which I'll hopefully get soon Anyway, my Permission consists of a Woods and some Fields. I see loads of them along one peticular Hedgerow so I think I'll be trying there first! What's the best way to go about It? Set up some sort of Hide and wait 'till they come out? Once I've shot one and they all run Into their Warren, how long 'till they come out again? Butch Quote Link to post
CUPCAKE118 0 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Not sure with an air rifle but i have used shot gun along a hedge row and walked back over it 30-40 min later and shot again!! depends what they are used to! Quote Link to post
Guest poacher dude Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 whats 'them'? asume your talkin about rabbits? Quote Link to post
Little Butch 16 Posted June 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Yea, should have made that a bit clearer, even though It says 'Warren'so It's kind of obvious Butch Quote Link to post
wakey87 2 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 (edited) you dont need a hide, they only realy pick up movment (short sighted and colour blind). If you know the hot spots just wait within range and if you can down range and they'll come. when out with the shotgun i just walk round till i see one dart into the hedge row and just wait there til it comes out again. they could be out in 5 minutes to half an hour or they could just call it a night and go sleep [edit] I like your choice of dog Edited June 9, 2009 by wakey87 Quote Link to post
Guest buster321c Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Best thing is go and just see whats about Butch . If you know where the general area`s where they sit out are , then just sit up ( downwind ) and wait . If it were a new permission for me , ide just have a mooch round a few times till i get a feel for it . Im sure it`ll be ok what ever you do mate . Best of luck , you may be the next Markbrick Jnr , Buster Quote Link to post
Little Butch 16 Posted June 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 I'll give It a go, I could easily go up there and take 100 + Rabbits with my Bull Terrier, Sara but I thought I'd try the Gun for a challenge Butch Quote Link to post
Guest buster321c Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Your a good lad Butch , good luck up there Quote Link to post
Freddy Watts 1 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Didn't you know that woodies and squigglers live in Warrens too. But yeh sit nice and still and they should come out no problem being upwind might help too. ATB Freddy Quote Link to post
Little Butch 16 Posted June 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Cheers Buster, I wouldn't say I was 'good' but.. I'll be down there trying my luck once I've got my new Gun. Butch Quote Link to post
