Rabbit Shooting Advice?

[ledders666 6]

When shooting rabbits from a fixed position with the lamp (I will be led 30yrds from where i know them to be active), after you have shot one is it worth waiting for more or do they not usually come back out after one was killed? I ask a i usually stalk with the lamp but tonight im going to give lying and waiting ago.

 

thanks

As long as its not laying in the mouth ot the burrow just wait because if you killed it with a head shot there will be no contamination of the meat.

tramping around picking up the dead one will keep them hid. just stay put 20 mins and another will be along.

always a wise one to do if you can, however if ur planning on getting all warm and snug while lieing down, just make sure thw ind isn't too strong if its in the wrong direction because it will blow your scent onto the warren and it could take an hour or so for them to re appear, if at all

If you shoot one leave it lying as often it jumping about in its death throes will cause another rabbit to sit up and see whats going on offering you another shot
