 I don't even try to take a shot after they run.
Perhaps I should give it a try next spring. |
Well yeah quite easy, i got given my first air rifle when 8 years old then by the time i was 14, i was hunting with a 22 and sometimes shotgun, use to shoot, rabbits/hares, pheasants, ducks, pigs, & would trapped posseums for their skins. And what i shot we ate. Posseum meat taste like chicken  & Rabbit stew with yams, mouth watering...
I use to beable to shoot rabbits running easily with a 22, havn't been rabbit shooting for a very long time so i dont think i could now. |
I still get most of mine by startleing them down in tall grass. Above 5 inches of grass and they don't move a muscle, even when you stand next to them re-loading.
In short, open grass or wheat stubble it's usualy a long sitting stalk for me.
