Those bunnies sure are dumb...

[kurl]

Got out for a spot of varminting at a new friends property this weekend.

Talk about dumb bunnies!

We got situated on a hill looking down onto a warren with the .223 and got to picking them off. After each shot they'd duck into their holes and then 2-3 minutes later out they come.

Got 7 in about 10 minutes before they wised up and stayed hid.

Great day out

I am going down South in the near future for a break, and will be going to a property near Ballarat where I used to do the same thing as the OP

Only this time I'll have my night vision gear on the 22/250

Used to get heaps of bunnies as well as foxes there in the afternoons. In fact one afternoon I got 3 foxes in approx. 3 mins without even moving.
Cant wait till I get back into a good supply of cotton tails, and really test the night vision sight.

should try stalking them,,just like mini deer if you shoot over a warren often you may have to wait up to 15 min before they come out again

Was trying to hit a rabbit that was behind a little mound of dirt, at about 80 yards, my first two shots hit the dirt, then the third hit the rabbit. I had three shots at the thing!
I have heard that if they can't see you they think they're safe. So maybe that was it.....

Just shy of 200 bunnies in under 2hrs with 12g's and .22's under a spot light an hr from Canberra, we ain't the best of shots but may as well been plinking most of them shot with 15m of the ute

Who's the genius that took the camera and no memory card?

Hey Fuzzy M,
That is exactly the possible shot that presented to me a couple years back.
I waited thinking he would feed out into the open,,,,,,,,,,,, but no,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, so I took the shot.
Only difference was I did it in 1 shot.

Not pretty, cos all I could see was the crown of his head between the ears.

Cracker of a shot there.

Reverse mohawk?

The only place I really go for bunnies is up to a property in Yea here in Victoria.

We must have some dumb breeds out here or something. 2-3 minutes and some idiot pops his head out after the last guy lost his

Those eyeballs are something else in that photo Judicii

[Bennybigbores]

Speaking of photos, any one know how to reduce pixel/file size of photos on an iPhone so I can post some???

[Monty]

I don't use an Iphone Benny, so no idea about that.

If you email them though I can upload for you.

I guess that'll happen with a HP 22/250 through that region.

[veep]

They need to breed some kind of deer that lives in warrens and will just pop up and down for hunting

[Shotfox]

Rabbits Not as dumb as you think. Who else can get the government to spend $7150 per head .

maybe that pic of bunny could find its way to a PETA twitter stream or FB page??

I guess my pic blew that theory out of the water...

They aint safe.

" Thank god for this small mount of dirt here, otherwise I'd be in *BANG*SPLAT* "
