Wheres all the rabbits gone?!

Another idea i got is DAM BUSTERS. You know in order to drop the bouncing bomb, the planes had to be at a very specific height from the water in order to get the bomb to start bouncing. In order for the bomber to know when the plane was at the right the distance they fitted two spot lights on the under carriage pointing at the surface of the water. When the plane was at the correct height the two spots of light would close together to become one. So, i'm thinking, do the same but with two laser sights. You can see the beams through your scope, if you get them to align at 40 yards presto! You could do with two different colours of laser too so you know if you're under or over

 

 

Actually Tris, lasers are brilliant for range finding.

Have it set above the scope you can adjust the laser so that at 30 yards, the laser is spot on the cross at the zero range. The laser will shine lower when distance is greater and higher when closer.

I am thinking of doing just this for night shooting

Yeah, zeroing in the cross-hairs to a single laser point would be the easier, simpler, cheaper - better way of doing it! LOL!

I agree with what someone else has said on here, if you continue to take them then they will not have chance to breed therefore leaving you in the situation your in now, sometimes need to leave be. Was out the other day with friend and dogs adn it was lovely just to take a step back and just watch them playing for a while. Like I said just need to leave things be for a bit to give things a chance to start up again.

Plenty on my permission, their just not coming out in the day, but they will when the ferrets go in

Yep, but i have not shot that many that they cant breed. Ive only had about 12 from this field so its not as if ive nuked them, and yet used to see dozens. Could be myksi as 2 out of those 12 had signs of it, but i wouldnt have thought it would spread that quick. I tend to leave the fields for a few weeks then go back. Id try lamping, but its a bit too close to 1 road for me to want to do that really.

 

I`ll leave it a little while and keep an eye on the field. Still, either way, the land owner is well pleased as she things i must have done a cracking job! lol.

I think you'll find its because the bunnies are waiting for dark now that the nights are drawing in, the only reason they come out in the Summer is because they get hungry before it gets dark, get your lamps out lads

 

I've been out till well after dark, as soon as the lamp goes on they hightail it out of there

 

A bit of a silly question for Stealthy, When the light goes, I find it very difficult to estimate range, any ideas to simplify this?

Mate this may sound stupid, but shove your finger out in front of you then look. your eyes need something to focus off to judge a distance, shoving your finger out stright in front of you gives you this marker, trust me been using it for many years in the army and worked wonders in a few countrys to

The rabbits round my way have gone also. ive been on three farms about 20- 30 miles apart and theres nothing on them. I havent got a clue whats going on. although there are loads of foxes about

Interesting, I'll give that a try
