Rabbit hunting locations victoria

Post by jeebo » 26 Mar 2014, 9:22 am

Hi guys,

I know rabbits are wide spread, but can any of the Victorian shooters here tell me if there are any particularly notorious locations for shooting rabbits in VIC?

Any advice appreciated.

Pretty much what AusC said :lol:

Seriously though, any forest or property with greenery and water will have rabbits. All it takes is grass and water.

The more of this there is the more rabbits will prosper. Golf courses are a perfect example :lol:

Shooting in the forest the trick is typically finding them amongst the shrubbery, line of sight...

The best situation for shooting is when you can find a rabbit warren in an open area. A 'rolling hills' type landscape is what you want... Find a big warren on the side of a hill, set up on the other side and pop, pop, pop.

Take that into consideration when choosing your spots and it should hopefully take you to the motherload.
See you on the firing line.

Losing them in the bush is all too familiar :lol:

We often see them when driving along and they're on the trail for a second before popping into the bush. Guns are all packed up then though obviously.

Gotta make some friends with open properties :D

I know this is easier said than done, but if you can make friends with property owner who has rabbits that'll keep you neck deep in rabbits from until... forever.

Sit on a hill opposite a big warren and there are hours for of the buggers.
