Coatesy900 0 Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Tonight I made a priest after not quite killing - and losing a rabbit on sunday. It is made from a peice of stairway banister strut, which I drilled a hole in the top of, and poured molten lead inside. I also stained it for weatherproofing. Quote Link to post

will.f11 24 Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 good luck with it mate, looks like a nice job. I usually either have a thick stick with me or use the metal part of a hammer. but anyway, a grand job there. Quote Link to post

Coatesy900 0 Posted October 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 why use a preist? just pull it Got a big tough buck out of a hole on sunday, thought I'd pulled it but 10 mins later it got up and ran off. This way I can be sure it doesnt happen again. Quote Link to post

victor 10 Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 should do fine., i us ethe back on my hand but i do think a club would be better.. Quote Link to post
stubby 175 Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 after youv pulled it touch its eye if it flicks or moves in any way do it again but usually you feel the head come off the neck well i do anyway why is there such scorning with using a priest as a humane way of dispatch at the end of the day, whatever way is used, be it pulling or whack on head, if it does the job first attempt, then you have killed your quarry humanely, if your having to touch eyes to see if it flicks, then surely your admitting that sometimes sretching isi'nt working for you, Im not knocking you, but in those instancies, the rabbit is not being humanely killed pull, poke in eye,pull again where as, a whack with a priest to top/rear of head, and its dead Quote Link to post
Guest Magwitch Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 The Vulcan Death Pinch is the only instant humane way of dispatching rabbits and it takes a long time to master but is not for amateurs..................use it carefully. Quote Link to post

If you get blood on hemp nets wash them thoroughly on getting home, as there's nowt rots them quicker. I certainly just neck or chin them, however last year after my son, "He's bigger and stronger than me" chinned one, and as was mentioned, after a few minutes it got up and ran away. A good reason for using stop nets. Quote Link to post
