Video of Lamping for Rabbits with .22 Rimmfire


Recommended Posts

Went out with a couple of friends last night lamping in his Daihatsu Sporttrak to get some rabbits for the Gamedealer and see if we could catch a fox or two near the pens.

I was lamping and filming, one of my mates was in the back with me on a .243 and my other mate was driving and shooting the rimmy.

 

His Anschutz semi-auto Rimfire was still in the gunshop so he took his dads old bolt action out, which used to be an estate rifle, so has seen better days, also it only has a cheap 3x scope on it that is older than me! You hear him cussing it about half way through lol

 

 

As an added bonus, I got an invite from the gamekeeper to come over with Roo today to help out as they bring in the Harvest!!! Result!

 

Hope you enjoy!

 

All the Best

We were having a competion with the Head keeper and Stalker who could get the most quarry. Crossed in the middle then went back over the other groups land. I was lamping for the first half so couldn't film. So they had already been lamped once that night. They get wise quick!

Most of it's just for a bit of fun and meat for the game dealer. They'll be Ferreted come the winter time.

 

I'm not used to seeing so many Rabbits in one night, I had Roo in the car but we couldn't fit him in the Sporttrak with us, so he had to stay behind. Bit gutted really, as he could of accounted for a few of them!

 

Cheers for the Comments guys.

good vid! sorry mate but giving a rabbit about 3 bodyshots and letting it run off to die in pain is no laughing matter :no: you shouldnt have been shooting if you are wounding animals...

 

 

bet there isnt one person that hasnt wounded something on this whole forum!

Yep, that's a fact, and anyone that says otherwise is either a liar or he doesn't actually do any shooting, your choice.....

Cheers Rob, was a good do!

 

We were after them for a Game dealer so only ever go for head shot's, so it was just an accident. You can see the Rabbit move just as he takes the shot.

Don't be Dumb, I was laughing at the situation not the Rabbit suffering. Trying to speed shoot with a beaten up gun that keeps dropping the bolt out of the back, at a rabbit that's running about the hedge backwards. Not your average sight on a night out.

We drove straight over and by the time we got theur it was dead, hung in some twigs about 6 inch's from the ground. So I had it for the me and the dogs.
