I’m looking for an air rifle for pest control and small game e.g possums and rabbits in new zealand. I have found one from hunting and fishing waikato. It is a norica dragon .22 850fps with a 4×32 scope. It is 9.99 nz dollar. is it a good deal and good for possums and rabbits.
I realise you cannot hunt within city limits as all animals are considered as fauna. I have been an archer for a few years and I am looking to further my skills. The game I would like to hunt is pigs and other feral pests such as rabbits, goats and foxes. I am a responsible person and at no time do I carry firearms, nor take dogs on any trip I would do. All hunting is done with a bow and arrow only.
Game running through the snare disengages the trigger bar,and the prey is flung off the ground. Use on game trails or in gaps through rocks or hedges.
Jack Russell terriers hunt rabbits in bramble thicket. Pest control. Dog training,
WARNING: THIS MOVIE CONTAINS FOOTAGE OF A RODENT THAT WAS KILLED BY DOGS. IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE TO THIS TYPE OF CONTENT PLEASE DO NOT WATCH. Decided to take my dogs and air rifle out to my acreage for a few hours of outdoor fun.
I am trying to get the shot placement to the lower part of the rabbits brain area. Where the collection centre is to the spinal column. If I can get these shots which I know the rifle is capable of then the rabbits will just fall with minimal twitching – Not even a jump. My shooting is now aimed at this point – a very small target area but with the flat tragectory of the .177 even with the smaller cross section, when it strikes this vital area the bunny is down cleanly. I know that I have a tendancy to pull the rifle stock left on shooting so the barrel and scope goes right, this is an issue I will try to correct with my hold and the trigger adjustment. I will never stop trying to improve on my shot placement and ability. All rabbits and the pigeon processed for eating!!
it`s so fast that even in slow motion you can`t see the jaws shut , so a rabbit has got no chance
