Rabbit hunting.......ummmmmmm.......this was taken a couple of years ago at the Easter Bunny Hunt (wobbleys on the way home) we got about 700 or so that night. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5UW9VMwb50 There are heaps of them around this year. We went out last weekend and got about 600 in 2 nights.

Where are some good hunting spots around Christchurch? I'm keen to kill a goose, pig, rabbit, hare, duck etc.

Hagley Park is exceptionally good for ducks at this time of year. Probably not recommended though.

I'm heading up my local river later on this afternoon, I know a couple of spots the geese like to hide out at around opening day and they'll be heading there already. Don't need a license for them any more since Fish and Game completely fucked up the management of them.

Hopefully my shotgunning skills are a bit better now after the Easter Bunny shoot!

Keen to meet up for some hunting? I've got my own shotgun and ammo. I need to buy some steel shot though.

Could be - but I just checked and discovered I was wrong about the license thing which doesn't come into effect until June. Doesn't matter for me either way.

I'll send a PM

You were doing good on the day. Hows the hematoma gone down?

Actually I ended up looking like I'd been kicked by a horse the next day. Maybe if I hadn't needed to empty my magazine to get half of the bunnies I was shooting at the start of the night it wouldn't have been quite so bad! All good fun but.

Thats interesting because I think ducks are very clever I have 4 that I feed all the time they have been up the road and i've been coming back and seen them all I have to do is say duck duck walk slow and click my fingers

and they follow me right down the road home.

I shoot around a dozen ducks most years but I don't take part in the opening day thing.
I wear full camo when I'm serious about it,complete with camo face mask ect.
Like most wild animals ducks instinctively know their on the menu and have very good eye sight and very good recognition of things that might present a danger so if you want to be consistant you need to take that into account or it's going to be a long time between meals.
I don't do the maimai on the pond or lake thing, I like to walk the irrigation ditches an shoot them on the jump.
I only shoot on the property I live on and 3-4 ducks is a pretty good day for me so my duck season only lasts a few days most years.
Cold wild duck with home pickled onion sandwiches

,,you ain't gonna buy that at new world mate.
