Merlin21 143 Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Got out tonight for the first time with the photon , only been using it for rats in the garden .. we had a dry night here tonight so decided to go out for a couple of hours , rabbits are very scarce around these parts , seen a few tonight but couldn't get close enough with out scaring them off due to the waterlogged fields making that squelching noise under foot , then i managed to stalk one to about 30 odd yards and down he went first shot .. the elusive bunny is now chilling in my freezer .... 5 Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Simple answer then is to get out before the rabbits do and see where they are active, then get into a suitable spot and wait! Quote Link to post
Merlin21 143 Posted January 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Simple answer then is to get out before the rabbits do and see where they are active, then get into a suitable spot and wait! that's the trouble with me i hate just sitting and waiting , i would rather walk about and try and stalk them .. not a great deal of patience with me ... 1 Quote Link to post
mattwhite 1,993 Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Its been like that here so i know what you mean. You try to be quiet but still sound like the Yeti bounding towards them! 1 Quote Link to post
moxy 617 Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Same as me merlin. No patience whatsoever. I'd much prefer to squelch my way through bogs for the chance of what's around the corner. The fields around here are sodden and it's a nightmare getting about them. Only saving grace is the wind. Nice effort Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 I am lucky, we have not had the rain over here so everywhere is walkable, some sodding huge puddles, but mainly walkable without sounding like your wellies are full of vomit.... 2 Quote Link to post

ftm 3,357 Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 not many left around here british rail just gassed the few that were here then pumped cement down sets then meshed all ground over existing holes -few living above ground as dogs keep pushing them out of cover - well done merlin 1 Quote Link to post
random 659 Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 It has been hard stalking with the ground so wet,one is worth the walk I think though and its something to cook at least,when the ground hardens up a bit and you get back on them with that nv you'll be the elusive one 1 Quote Link to post
