Lee85 44 Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Thinking of goin this sunday, my local forecast is 1-2 degrees celcius but dry, as good a day as any to go? I doubt I'll see many squirels in this cold but I'm thinking a few pigeon/magpie decoys maybe, will the rabbits pop out do you think? Also anyone have any experience of shooting in the snow? That would be interesting so i'm gunna give that a go when I get chance aswell, went out when it was bucketing down the other week and bagged a woody so i'm not put off by bad weather. What are experiances? Quote Link to post
Phantom 631 Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 I spent the latter part of yesterday on my small Paddock permission. Mainly to check zero after I had to take the air cylinder off to get inside and dry the gun off properly after I got caught in a torrential downpour. Bunnies were out despite the freezing temps (I put 5 pellets on each other in the zero card, but missed every sodding bunny I took aim at (I'll put it down to the cold extreme ). I am looking forward to some snow shooting as they will be easier to spot Phantom Quote Link to post

air gunner 0 Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 i love shooting in the snow! me and a mate went out with the full moon in the snow we took the lamp out but ended up ditching that as we could siluette the rabbits easily. they do come out where i am. its also an ideal time to pick spots to lie out from as you can spot paw prints and shit really easily.

Not as much as it did me I fired at three bunnies, 1st I don't know how the I missed 2nd bunny ducked and I saw the pellet go just over its head 3rd bunny I aimed at was munching and as I fired, it put its head up Tell you if they had beards, he would have had a very close shave indeed. Thinking of going out later if the fog stays away, I need me a bunny so I can slit its guts for the Corvids and then pop a few of them off as they try to gobble em up. :crazy: Phantom Quote Link to post
