Do rabbits stalk you or something? 
I knew Australia has had huge issues with mice- does NZ have major rabbit problems? |

LOL...That one valley in the pic...There could be 200 or more
in there...then theres the valley over the ridge & so on...
Here's a little trick.....Whistle...
Our heares...look to be the same as what yous
call Jack rabbits....If you whistle it will stop them
in there tracks 50% of the time long enough to get
a mill dot on them....
a mother heare/jack rabbit makes a whistle type sound
to call her young ones...the sound is in built in them
It works with rabbits to some exstent...

Its a hammer....20m it puts a pellet right though
1/2" 5 ply....The kral only goes half way maybe...
but its picked up some spring twang...but thats my
falt...cut the rear guide a bit to lose....So a new rear
guide at some stage...
Hatsan may have there issues...but they do
punch close to there rated FPS....

Can't you ship my a few acres of that to this place? We'll call it New New Zealand and everyone can go hunting there once in a while.  |

| Nice bunnies, nice scenery! Got myself a cottontail rabbit this morning with the Crosman Storm. My camera took a nose-dive so, I can't show u. We don't have many rabbits in this area. In fact, I have to drive 30 miles before I get to an area that holds rabbits. I had been wanting to get some rabbit sooo bad lately. Finally get 1 and he's full of worms!!! Needlesss to say, I tossed him. Wonder if all the bunnies are gonna have worms????? |

I think so... not really a problem for me since the hawks seem to eat all the rabbits around here. Have only killed one during the summer and it was chock full of buggers.
EDIT: even with bad shot placement at 25 yards the 'Dan still packed a punch and dropped the furball. He ran about 5 yards and sat down from the shot being so close to the spine. |
