    ONLY where you have permission to shoot, and can do so legally.

    Look along field boundaries/headlands, particularly where the field adjoins a hedge, wood, copse or overgrown railway embankment/cutting or road (all the usual safety provisos apply!). Rabbits tend to like a combination of habitats so they can move from one to the other. However they thrive in unimproved pasture or links land, particularly where the soil is sandy. Scan through binoculars for excavated soil (I'm guessing Herefordshire isn't sandy) and patches of dead grass. The best time to look for rabbits where they're used to some hunting pressure is dawn/dusk - night with a high powered lamp is even better but I think the landowners might be a little concerned about a stranger wandering around at night with a two million cp spot.

    hi craig welcome to the BBS,

    could you tell me just how accurate a shot are you, say target at 30yds.

    Whats the story on the black bunnies around here (ledbury/hereford/west side of the malverns)....is this a normal strain, or have they bred from escaped pets?......have seen loads in the last 5-6 years

    Get them down here as well mate, think its something to do with pet ones escaping/being released and then breeding with the wild ones

    first off matey practice practice practice practice and then guess what practice more before you even consider to go shooting will live animals .secondly ask around your local farmers etc and get a permission letter wrote up and sent to them and await areply its not as easy as asking on a forum ive been trying to get a permission since august which is when i felt confident in dispatchin an animal out to 30 yards but always try to get closer learn read everyth8ing you can as its not a toy even though some people treat them like they are only an air rifle.dont do that they are more than that.
