| Lairy shirt there guy. I recall from an ancient local gun mag, I think it was an ad for .22 ammo ( remember back when there was like half dozen full page ads for .22 ammo from different makers in every mag? ) yeah anyway, I think it was 444 bunnies in one evening shot.

| Interesting stock on that rifle, Muznz. And a serious scope, too. What make and model is the rifle?

| I kind of suspect that in New Zealand and Australia they don't really care what you do, as long as it results in disappearing some bunnies.

| Kill the wabbit! Kill the wabbit! Heh, but those do look nice. Ever try a nice clay pot broiling with red potatoes? That's my absolute favourite way to have rabbit. But I would also imagine you could use everything just shy of tactical nuclear weapons to kill rabbits in NZ and no one would care. Didn't OzHunter mention something about using farm equipment to churn up their burrows aside from the usual gassing and massive hunts? - Coeloptera |

| We`ve also introduced deseases into the wabbit population. First Myxomotosis and that new one I can`t pronounce. The bunny ( and the larger hare ) did incredible damage here, earlier in the last century there was massive plagues of them, 1,000`s of the lil bastards chewing through every blade, and causing erosion with their burrows.

| Wild pigs, feral cats, foxes, wild dogs, feral horses and camels, feral deer,water buffalo, scrub bulls, donkey and goats depending where you are at the time. With the exception of buff and scrub bulls, " hunt" is a lil strong, mostly it`s just seek and destroy. Which is to say, you come across it, and blast it. No seasons, no fees, shoot from a vehicle, at night, it`s all good.
