First Time Hunting

some brilliant advice from the above all i would add is wrap up warm (or in summer be mindful that it can get very hot) and take a comfortable cushion often best shots are from a sitting position and bot these tips will allow you to stay on target for the longest time. last tip look for any patterns in the rabbit burrows are they in a line or clustered together and if there is a pattern e.g on a bank or on the side of aditch take advantage of this when choosing your shooting position.

Nice write up Davy. You hit the nail on the head with that write up

Take a camera so you can show off what you get and tell us all about it!

 

Well done on securing a permission, go out of your way to ensure you keep it I.e make yourself indispensable by being the landowners eyes and ears. Offering a share of your edible kills...

 

Happy hunting!
