danco1987 27 Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 (edited) Last night I went out for a bit of rabbit shooting with my ratworks BSA scorpion 177 and had a great night. There's a field on one of my permissions surrounded by woodland and its crop is being hammered this year by the bunnies. There's been a real explosion in the population. All these were shot before last light yesterday evening starting at about 7:45. Most were stalked and a few I lay out in wait for. All shots were between 15 and the longest was lazed at 48 yards. I then spent the next hour or so prepping them All big ones I've prepped whole and the little ones, I just removed their legs and will cook them like chicken wings.

Jonjon79 13,358 Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 Nice one Danco Try wrapping the legs from the little 'uns in bacon and barbecuing them - they'll be nice and tender Quote Link to post

danco1987 27 Posted May 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 (edited) Cheers lads. The scorpion is a great rifle. I bought it second-hand and it already had a trench reg fitted. It the went off to ratworks and has been transformed into an even better setup. I can't ask for anything more from a rifle tbh. Edited May 21, 2017 by danco1987 Quote Link to post
mark williams 7,550 Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Nice shooting Dan I`ve read a good few posts in the THL forums where the rabbit`s hind legs "only" are taken anyways atb Mark. p.s. my T Rex is Rat Works tuned Quote Link to post
danco1987 27 Posted May 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Thanks. Out of the 13, I prepped 5 whole rabbits. All the rest were just too small but still need to be cleared. The hind legs are about all you can get off these ones. Rest of the carcasses will get devoured by Mr Fox and the kites. O and all the livers were taken too and frozen ready for my next batch of pate 1 Quote Link to post
