Hunting for rabbits

They have feet alright, bloody fast ones as the FECKERS keep getting away from me

Yess every one nos rabbits have feet they must also have thumbs and index fingers

 

You are wrong on that one. The reason that rabbits can't ride bicycles is, because they have no thumb to ring the bell. Everyone knows that I thought.

glad somebody brought a bit of humour to this post. Thinking of hiring a truck to get a load of these footless wonders, but then I thought wait and see if anyone breeding any ferrets with no feet this year, to even up the odds a bit. Can anyone give a clue where these rabbits are LYING up. They shouldnt really be shot, unless it is a sporting shot of one going downhill on a bicycle. Please dont tell me ferrets got paws, not feet. Davy, you really shouldnt argue with a pussy about paws, after all I got four of my own, best wishes postie pussy.

the evening after a fine day suits me and the rabbits. Too often at this time of year everything is absolutely dripping with a heavy dew in the early morning which is a pain if your stalking and bellycrawling, the rabbits dont like wet feet and nor do I.

 

you obviously dont go out in all weathers, i have seen many a bunnie with wet paws & bagged them with wet paws.

im not sure what the bunnies are like round your area, but bunnies with feet? are you by any chance by a nuclear reactive centre?. because that would freak me out!!

i dont mean to say i know it all but just av a look at this paul, it may remind you of what i said in a previous post.we learn something every day

 

Rabbit (ORYCTOLAGUS CUNICULUS).

 

The rabbits Latin name Oryctolagus Cuniculas means "burrowing little hare" but in fact the rabbit and the hare are quite different. The rabbit is generally smaller rarely exceeding 2kg (4Ib) in weight with the female a little smaller as opposed to the weight of a hare at 3.5kg (7.5Ib) making it fairly simple to distinguish even at distance. The rabbit hops along in a series of small leaps, one fore-paw slightly ahead of the other, while the hare lopes with long bounding strides. You can't miss the flashing white underside of its tail (Scut) when it's running at speed. Its familiar hopping gait with the bottom bobbing up and down is produced by the powerful, heavily muscled hind legs which are much longer then its front ones. At speed the rabbit's hind legs land ahead of its forepaws. In muddy, snow or sandy ground, this leaves an easily recognisable track, two large prints side by side in the front (made by the hind legs) and a small round print behind (made by the two forepaws closer together).

 

And yes i have hered of lucky rabbits foot in deed

and here is what they say:

An interesting story is that if a cross-eyed person kills a rabbit on a full moon night and if the rabbit’s left hind foot is removed and carried in the left pocket, it is very lucky. Also if you dream about a rabbit’s foot, it means that your life will change for the better and you will have more happiness and prosperity. It is also thought that a rabbit's foot will help avoid rheumatism and cramps. In some places, it was considered unlucky if a rabbit crossed the path, especially for a pregnant woman, as she would then miscarry, pregnant women would therefore carry a rabbit’s foot as a preventive measure.

 

happy hunting

I find the bunnys seem to come out in the afternoons atm, especially if its a nice sunny day.

 

The other day, i was driving and saw loads out from 2pm onwards in fields all over the place, so i popped over some fields where ive permission at about 3.30pm, and they were all out sunbathing. I shot one with a nice clean headshot at 20yards before id even climbed over the gate into the field and shot another 2 (one at 45 yards and one at about 15 yards). Thats 3 rabbits within 45mins. All big rabbits too.

 

Ive also noticed that there are loads out if its a nice night, at about 11pm. I see hundreds around the dykes and at the side of farm roads playing. It all depends on whether they are used to people trying to shoot them or not. If they are used to being nice & safe with no danger, then its easy pickings. You can sneak upto them slowly if your downwind and just pick them off. Their alert levels are low.

 

If they are a bit more nervous then its a waiting game. You have to hide up and wait for them to come out, then once you get 1 shot off they will all scarper and not come out for 30mins or so.
