Rabbit Vs .22-250

[Deker 3,478]

Yep I do agree...personally I think its a waste on rabbits and anything edible as well.

I have never actually gone out specifically after rabbits with CF, and my rabbit work is Pest Control, any thoughts about meat are secondary, just the same I don't know anyone who goes out with the intention of making a serious mess of their quarry!

 

The end result on a rabbit/etc can vary considerably and it is quite rare they are actually destroyed in such a total way, cf can commonly make very little mess of some wildlife.

 

I hit a rabbit at around 200 yards with my .308 150g SP and it simply made a neat hole right through it, no destruction whatsoever. It will all depend on a lot of factors, calibre/ammo type/quarry type/contact point/direction of travel/distance/etc as to the end result.

 

That of course is entirely different to any policy to keep the site clear of too graphic images!

Yes absolutely deker but its not what it is my friend it's what it looks like and I think these things can be twisted and used against us is what is the main concern, I don't believe most of the people on here specifically hunt small game with CF but I have met a few personally and its not in our favour just for the humour of turning something into a bloody pulp although it does happen sometimes.

Sorry lads for any confusion, the reason certain images are removed, is basically were trying not to portray what we do in a bad light, certain images can be a bit too graphic and shouldn't really be shown, or for example a fox/rabbit badly damaged from the likes of a ballistic round, we know the mess they make, personally I'd turn it on its good side, when there's not much left it's not too easy to do. A small minority will use anything they can against us, we're just looking out for everyone and the sport, as I say it's nothing personal against any member ..

Sensible approach, shame it has to take admin to think about it.
