A reduction in rabbit numbers...

Seeing all the dead rabbits lined up it would appear the rabbit caclvirus didn't turn out to be the end of the high country rabbit problem after all.
How much do shotgun shells cost when purchased in bulk? Would it be worth paying for rabbit control that way?

No far from it,The days about a bit of fun and a day out with mates,cheaper than sitting in the pub all day and way more fun.

We paid $120 for a slab of 250 rounds, Which is a pretty sharp price.
From memory the total Rabbit take was 14799, 600 less than last year and from what I understand RCD still ticks over but is far less effective than it once was.

Shooting from a helicopter on a regular basis, is also the norm in some parts of Central Otago.

I remember my old man telling me how he went on the Easter Bunny Shoot in 1990 with his AK-47 on the back of a flatbed truck with his mates from the assault rifle club.
He said an AK can make a rabbit disappear....!!!!

Never was that dramatic when I shot them with an AK47, they kinda cart-wheeled a tad but still looked flasher than the one in peaseas road-kill pic on the Easter thread.

Got more splat using a 30-06 with 110grain hollow-points...

Rifles also have this nasty habit of sending lead a looooong way over hills and the like too. We had a few complaints from team members of that little zinging noise echoing around them as they walked. Still no idea where it came from but it sure we'ren't me.

Shotguns are good although the shoulders get sore after a slab of decent ammo.

So what do you do with all the meat?

It gets packed into refrigerated containers and sent to Africa to feed the hungry.

What I failed to mention was that it was at night, the searchlight was on the bunny and everyone let loose.....probably more like 1000 rounds of 7.62x39 into a bunny !!

[ManDownUnder]

Yeah Geoff, that was me. The row of rabbits they showed me counting was ManDownUnder's team kill. As a member of the orginising commitee I wasn't eligible to enter.

Then Nasty was on with her piece as well. So tonight was a real KB TV night.

Does anyone have a link for it? I saw Nasty (doing a fucken AWESOME JOB!!!!!!) on the online playback thing, but nothing on the Bunny shoot.

I got more "splat" with a SLR 7.62.... "AK's" just slow 'em down ...


But for a bunny shoot... you need smaller rounds to get the final count up...
