hotel2zero 0 Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 (edited) After the usual 'slow down' in rabbit shooting due to most of the land i have permission on being 4ft+ with crops, i went in search for some new shooting ground. Drove into a few places to and from work, then while taking a wrong turn, ended up at a 300acre polo pony farm. Introduced myself to the land owner, walked the land with him, and WOW, i lost count of the rabbits in 2mins, i mean 100+! The land hadn't been shot over for 3 years and to say the rabbits have moved in is an understatement. Massive amounts of damage everywhere, banks collapsing, burrows in the middle of the fields etc. The owner was after someone to get rid of the rabbit infestation so i knocked at the right time. Some of the ponies are worth £35,000+ and the thought of one of them breaking a leg due to it falling down a rabbit hole was really starting to concern the owner. So last night i packed everything into the car and drove down for a test run. Bliss, every rabbit just sat a looked at me. I was taking out 5 at a time, i'd hit one, and the others would just sit there and wonder ''what was that??'' I spent 3 hours there, covered less than a third of the land and took out 55. left 9 due to not being able to find them, some at 180 yds. All in all, a great first night and a great place to keep me busy til harvest time. Regards Hotel2zero Edited June 12, 2009 by hotel2zero Quote Link to post

ryanwylie 0 Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Not bad shooting. I'm shooting a 20 acre spot and in 8 outings over the past 8 weeks for a few hours at a time i've shot 369. Quote Link to post

Cheers, if i had the time i'd be at the polo farm every night. I sort of gave up hope until harvest time, but really pleased i found this place. I'm going late afternoon today, may stay till after dark, we will see. I'll take some pic's of the land later. Quote Link to post
