M47KS_M4N_CH71S 50 Posted January 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Get out at different times and try stalking into the wind to get a shot at them mate and if its a small stream they will just jump it mate Thanks pal was down this morning just to have a look around and did not see 1, but was down last night and there was quite few. Is there a best time for them? Quote Link to post

jackinbox99 41 Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Some good advice here. I always keep downwind of the rabbits and if you move slowly along the hedgerow you can sometimes get within range of them. Alternatively you can setup a hide, or even just hide down the ditch and wait for them to come out. I also make sure I shoot the rabbits away from their holes as sometimes they can bolt a bit after you shoot them if your slightly off target. Lamp wise, ive had good results using just an old torch. If they arnt used to the lamp you`ll find you get quite good results initially but its the same as anything they soon seem to learn and get wary of you. 1 Quote Link to post

Chris Nope, i was out last year in minus weather without any problems. I usually stick some trackie bottoms on under my dpm army camo stuff and its proper toastie. I did have to invest in some proper shooting gloves though to keep my hands warm without loosing trigger feel. Quote Link to post
