ozzy518 0 Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 The amount of rabbits we shoot varies as to where we are....Most shot in one night is 83. Last nights total was 37.We only count those that we pick up and not them that we cant find or are too messy to dump in the truck...Most of ours go for ferret/dog food or are given away for same. Head shot bunnies are sold to Butcher though he wont take any that have been shot other than in the head as the .17hmr round tends to make a right mess of the body... Ozzy Quote Link to post
jamie g 17 Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 (edited) my best is 17 in a night but you can only shoot what is there in front of you. i find worcester doesnt have as many rabbits as my friends ground in hereford. i no he has 200 times as much land as i do. but every farm i see as them on there in the bucket load. he said 52 is his best. but i no it could be beat easy. and one night we will do it and see what we get overall with the 22lr's the jeep and the lamp. could do with 4 people really say driver with lamp and lefthanded shooter in back behind driver. then a righthanded shooter in the back on left behind a lamer in the front passenger side. that why you have both sides covered. and the two shooters are in the right places then for being lefthand and righthand Edited March 30, 2008 by jamie g Quote Link to post
