Thread: rabbit hunt,12-27 4 bunnies down

First let me say happy new year Mick, second it would be a blast using the brick of 22's get rid of those toads, number three I'm still waiting for you to take over, as I will be glad to come and help you kill them. I don't know what to do with the ones that are in inhospitable places but I'm sure if they put a small bounty on them they could probably reduce the population in short order, just let the hunters use lights and lasers, and I don't know but they cost there, but over here a brick of 22's is pretty cheap. My father had a farm that had a pond for swimming and one for ducks, the swimming hole was overrun with frogs, it took me the better part of one summer but I must've got about 500 frogs from that one pond, and let me tell you it was a blast, when they're facing away from you and you can just see their head sticking out of the water one-shot has them going end over end and about 10 feet in the air, you just need a long net to haul them out with. I think we'd have a blast.

Now I'm not sayin' it wouldm't be fun Griz. I sure as hell would be laughin' and having a great time. I don't think my neighbours or the po-leece would like it if I started knockin' off the toads in my yard though...Well at least not with my trusty .22 anyway...The 30-06...Nah, definately too much gun... . I did quite a few in with an air rifle though. Also used a compound bow and a sling shot...A half a capful of Dettol (a disinfectant) is enough to knock them over in about 30 seconds...Screws up the synapses on them apparently. I intend to get a water pistol to try some longer range application one day. I've also heard that if you're into the game, they make for great golfing practice, BYO safety glasses...and keep your mouth closed too.
Sorry for the thread hijack.

Mick, I think we would get along just famously, and the airgun is a great idea, if you get a chance go to FX.com and check out the airguns from them. I bought one and you charge this thing with a scuba tank to 3000 PSI, and let me tell you it's a little scary. But this thing spits out a 22 caliber pellet at about 1200 ft./s and is deadly accurate. Oh and by the way the barrel is suppressed and legal. That disinfectant sounds like a blast if you can't get super soakers there let me know and I'll send you one this summer they're good for about 30 feet or so, and I'll keep the plans quiet!
Your bud

Yeah, I know about them FX airguns, I've been eying them off for some time now. I've got an old airgun from when I was a kid, it's a bit under powered by todays standards, but it is great fun all the same. Super soakers are readily available here and was just what I had in mind to try out. You still have to watch where the buggers hop off to when you hit them with the dettol, because it does sort of piss 'em off a bit, but they never get too far.
