Alex Arrigone 24 Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 hey all, me and my mate had a really good two days. we decided to go for a lamping session on our smaller permission on sunday night. we split up and took different areas of the permission and set off on our way. within 5 minutes i had seen my first bunny hopping along the field for a tree line. i took my shot as it stopped... and missed (heavy breathing up hill) however, i knew where the bunny had hid and i ran towards it. soon enough i was pretty much meters away from the bunnny (it was hid on the oposit side of a field plower and out of sight, oh and a fence was in the way.) i could hear it rustle, so i waited for it to pop out. it was proving to be a challenge so i radioed through to my mate (he was somewhere on the other side of the fence)... no answer. eventually i decided to jump the fence, risking scarring it off. the rabbit was a sitter and not a runner and i took a good shot at it. 10 minutes in and 1 rabbit in the bag. ENDING MY DRY SPELL!!!! by this time my mate met up with me and he had bagged on too. his bunny was hid behind a tree and with a little sqeak sound, it had popped his head round... awsome shot! we saw another 12-15 bunnies that night although we didnt get anymore. i still had a satisfying night. NEXT DAY- we woke up early and went to try out a shooting range. 2 hours drive and we were there. it was a fun days shooting. although we found that we were off zero and the pellets were making larger and more eradic groups than usual. strange we put it down to the cold weather and pellets. on our way home we filled up the air cylinder and changed back to air arms pellets. back at the permission we had a quick zero on the lighter pellets and went in for some tea. once dark we headed out. no such luck for me as the bunnies were more lamp shy although after a long chase after a rabbit my mate got one. overall was a very good 2 days and we had lots of fun oh... forgot to mention this... on the sunday night we went up to our second permission. the strange thing is, is that that permission is perfect for rabbits, a load better than our smaller permission, however everytime we go up there is nothing. there are rabbit holes everywhere but no rabbits. very strange 2 Quote Link to post
