Firearm .22

Prefer bow tho.

 

[DaveD]

Don't forget that bows are classed as firearms in N.B.

 

[HUNT247]

I love sniping them in the head when there is no snow & they are white, I do this with a Savage Mark II BTVS .22

Not disputing this, but can you point me to where this is mentioned? I was fairly certain that a projectile had to be over 1000 fps for this designation.

I love picking them off with the 17hmr but im gonna go with 12ga with #6's , shoot high and take em in th head if they are still, spray em if they bolt, either way they are done for

Under the federal firearms act, a bow isn't classed as a firearm, but in the N.B. wildlife act it is.

Quoted from the N.B. Fish and Wildlife Act

"firearm" means any device from which any shot, bullet or other missile can be discharged and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, includes a rifle, shotgun, pellet gun, air gun, pistol, revolver, spring gun, crossbow or longbow;

"bow" means
a. a longbow,
b. a recurve bow, or
c. a compound bow with one or more wheels,
but does not include a crossbow.

off topic? haha

off topic? haha

Possibly but still relevent. I prefer getting Varying Hare with my .22LR H&R Sportster, though for the record I seem to see more of them when I have the shotgun with me.

 

[Winchester]

12 gauge does the trick for me

 

[mu'in]

.22

 

[browning]

Mine is my savage 24. Its a 22/410 combo gun.

 

[alarsene]

I like my .222 because it makes a clean head 1 shot kill
rem 600 mohawk

 

[matty]

.22 works awesome

Pepper Poper

Put a tablespoon of black pepper on a large low lying rock.
Hide about 15 yards away behind bushes etc. Use camo.
When the rabbit sneezes after smelling the pepper they hit their heads on the rock.
This stuns them.
Run up quickly and finish them off humanely without leaving any blood.

Quickly put in burlap camo bag and hide again.
Repeat when next rabbit comes along.

12 gauge

 

[abuckisabuck]

.22. Scope, yes. My dream is a Marlin lever but at almost 600 clams, its gonna wait.

 

[weather warrior]

.22 cooey model 39. not a fancy gun, but light, easy to carry and very safe for teaching the kids.
growing up i used a .410 and somedays i'll pull her back out of the safe for old times sake.
