Nice shooting Steve :smiley_10sign: I get my first chance to throw arrows at them tomorrow morning hoping to get blood on the new widow

Hmmm...

Rabbits and grouse are targets of opportunity when pursuing large mammals for grown ups. Good training for the youngsters though.

Not sure if it deserves the ridicule that duck shooting does though. At least they are small mammals.

Pellet gun zone?? What is it next to that it is a pellet zone?

Nice work, We are going to head out this evening.

Thats what we did when we hunted in neighborhood parks back in the day...........maybe Stevo is keeping the tradition alive.

Paul,

Same area we can't shoot shotguns for turkeys (people don't like the boom boom).......Bows would be ok.......I'm just to lazy to chase the arrows....... :smiley-wnk-yellow:

 

[MOTO_REGGIE_2M]

Well done sir. i have the same pellet gun. cant keep it sighted in though. .17hmr is the way to go. i dont eat the rabbits but they are good bait for the game camera.
currently got one cam set-up to get a picture of a big cat in imperial..

 

[ilovesprig]

Moto,

You don't eat them?.........Try fileting them........Cut near the rump crosswise......Then pull the skin to the head......The little backstrap will be right on top. Cut along backbone and pull out strap.....Then cut around back legs......Pure white meat and you never touch the guts.

They are great eating........Cook like chicken strips deep fried or pan fried with butter and garlic.


ps.......I had a terrible time trying to sight that gun in too.......I finally changed scopes to an older Redfield......It's been pretty much dead on since. The Savage Mod 93 .17 HMR goes without saying........It is flat out deadly!

A bunny was the only thing this bow ever killed.... Then I ran the bow over with the truck the next day

Or you can skew one with an aluminum arrow and cook it over an open flame.......... :lol:

 

[nicapopolis]

We definitely ate that bunny on the grill that night.
