lets see those pro hunters :fighting68: :fighting68: :fighting68:
Welcome to the forum Blue Smoke. Good idea, let's.
I'm looking at getting a Camera at the moment & will oblige when I have got one ! It's hard to get photos over here of Us ! There was a incident years ago where a Pro rabbit shooter inadvertantly posed with a load of Rabbits ,the photo was used to advertise a brand of Ammo & the Taxation dept got wind of it ! Now theres a Old saying ......You want to clear out a mob of Pro shooters real fast ?Mention the Tax man cometh !:) Poor Dick Mayne ,was charged back taxes on 666 rabits 6nights per week for the previous 7 years & was sent bankrupt ! Most of us these days are pretty much honest & above board

you guys want to hear a good rabbit hunting story? here you are!
It was Wednesday as I recall, and we were just sitting doing pretty much nothing when Dad jumped and said: LETS GO RABBIT HUNTING!!!
So quickly Dad, Daniel and me grabbed our guns and jumped in the car and hit the road!I took my 12 ga Dad took his 257 roberts and Daniel took his Rossi 22 long rifle!
When we got there Dad found a spot to park, Dad grabbed a box of ammo Daniel took two pockets full of ammo and I took 10 shells, we thought that should be enough!
it took us about an hour to get 100 yards, most of it was shooting! the first one Dad saw first and he said : hey stop I see a rabbit, we stoped in our tracks spun around and I saw that rabbit trying to sneak away so I aimed my gun and BOOOOMAMOOMAMOOM from my 12 ga,
but I missed the rabbit, Darnit! within 15 minutes we killed several than we went on top of a hill to skin them!
after we got done skinning them we stuck the rabbits body in the snow with ther feet sticking up in the air! we found this tripple dead top drooper tree, and we used it for a land mark, so we woudn't lose our rabbits! Then we went back to hunting! It was 20 below, so by this time we were getting a little cold, anyway Dad went back to the top of the hill, while Daniel and me chased rabbits all over the place! Dad said that he saw a wake of rabbits in front and on all sides!
then Dad said stop I see one! we stopped and before you could say tripple dead top drooper tree you'ld of heard BOOOOOMMMMM!!!
and see a rabbit come flying over the 4 foot high trees!than there was another one that I scared to Daniel, so Daniel brought up his gun and waited a minute, I saw the rabbit running trying to sneak away from Daniel than CRACK and he started yelling I SHOT THAT ONE RUNNING !!!! and he scared three rabbits to me while he was yelling and I got two of them! then after we killed several more we went back to the tripple dead top drooper tree to skin them! than I counted them and we had killed 15 rabbits and I shot 10 rounds of 12 ga ammo! after we got done skinning them we went back to the car. The next day was pretty busy, we deboned the rabbits and put them in a fish brine (for smoking) for one day, then lightly smoked them, and then canned them! Ohhhhh man! they are good! we made 13 quart size jars full and we only have 7 more jars left! just so you know 7 9 11 and 13 year old boys and 3 and 5 year old girls eat a lot of canned rabbit!
