shooting rabbits


Recommended Posts

hi all

just had phone call from a mate of mine who went out with his rimfire last night for an hour,

said he shot 1/2 dozen rabbits, i asked him what he has done with them, his reply was CHUCKED UM, so i said why chuck um and he told me he couldn,t be ar**d to pick them up and gut etc, :(

why did you not ring i said i would have come over for them , couldn,t be ar**d came the answer, i was fuming because i think if you shoot it you should respect it and eat it,

my question is do,s anybody agree with me or not or,

do,s anyone else just shoot and leave their quarry

 

thanks

 

keep hunting

I only leave rats and even then I sometimes give them to the ferrets if they look OK. Everything else gets eaten either by me and my family (sorry that should be my family and I) or the dogs or the ferrets. Even the crops out of pheasants and woodpigeons gets thrown down for the chickens.

Kev.

Killing animals just for the sake of it has no sporting value at all. If that's all he's interested in, then why doesn't he shoot paper targets or clay pigeons instead of giving the rest of us a bad name.

 

That's exactly what the anti's want to hear and they would like to think we all carry on like that.

Its vermine mate, IMO. If we catch alot of rabbits, we use as many as possible but that sometimes means 20 rabbits in the hedge. on our farm and others we get rid of the rabbits for pest controll and not for eating. so we kill as many as we can and try not to let many get away

ye init.. could of give them to someone or sold them.. the prices of rabbit are pretty dear. i no alot of people that would snatch at the chance of gettin free rabbits without gettin up early or goin out late at night to catch them.. even worse if your mate likes rabbit/ would eat them to say i couldnt be bothered getting them :S ... makes you think if he did shoot any? could of been a bad day/ night out an had seen nothink an felt abit inbarrest about having nothink... ahh well, just hope most hunters arent like that, seems pointless to kill somethink for no reason, people like that should take up different hobbies/sports!..
