Rimfire rabbit control bonanza

www.theshootingshow.tv
Byron and Darryl Pace have new shooting permissions on a farm that's overrun with rabbits. The result: A shooting bonanza that sees triple figures in the bag.

[@titouanpasquiou6527]

After sighting in at 60 feet, I could easily cover 5 shots with a nickel kzbin.infoUgkxQt2uORDRfFOVSrO4idv4B90ThT6EOnEL ! Truly a pleasure to shoot! Scope was easy to adjust for eye relief. Only problem the varmints must have seen it delivered lol!Update: So impressed with shot groups at 30 yards I purchased a Hammers 3×9 with adjustable Objective scope! Now a true nail driver!

[@arsaeterna4285]

editing so good, it looked like a tv show, actually made it more enjoyable i think!

[@aljodaros1259]

That reminds me of my younger days 30 odd years ago we would bring in 150 - 200 rabbits every weekend from a 50 acre property and this went on for quite a few years. The farm was so riddled with warrens you had to watch your step or you could break a leg very quickly. The local butcher loved us as we only took head shots... Fond memories.

[@asaaqas]

question for overseas hunter, are suppressors easy to get and hunt with? seems like every England rabbit hunt video I watch they have them

[@painmt651]

Talk about a target rich environment! Crazy overrun with rabbits.

[@KingSteen]

How can you tell if a rabbit has mixie? Both pre-shooting and after you've shot them? Does the liver have spotting or something?

[@liedebunker1253]

Hi. What kind of suppressors you were using please?

[@winkdinkerson193]

how can you kill such poor little bunnies even when they are running for their lives???Wait I know,you have to lead them a few feet depending how fast they are running!LOL

[@outletgaming7246]

Haha good one

[@skydiver6711]

I don't care who you are, that's funny right there.

[@moeshipley4170]

Very nice shooting in a really pretty area. CZ .22 rifles are a perfect choice.

[@JN003]

ok, ive just read that rabbits cause 100m of damage a year in the UK. Can any farmers out there confirm they have a rabbit problem ? If so , what effective tactics are used ? (i'm guessing shooting them is not effective in terms of numbers)

[@jimdent351]

The amount of rabbits you got over there is insane. Here in Canada we have rabbits, but nothing like you have.

[@jimdent351]

Jeff Jones That's crazy! What part of the world are you in? England???

[@_seaken]

What type or rimfire and scope is that

[@CoypuHunter]

Great shooting. Which silencers do you guys use? They sound incredibly quiet...

[@PawnchGame]

That looks amazingly fun! Im getting myself a rifle for christmas, but I'm letting my more gun-savvy father to get it. How would a .223 bolt action be good for all around hunting?

[@abaha9898]

What are you using a theoben

Great video lads, keep them coming

[@ash1557]

both Shooters using 22lr... except the guy shooting the gun with mtc viper on top which is a hmr

[@cat9x]

150+ rabbits WOW! Nice job Byron & Co.

[@__BERSERKER__]

Can you guys use a ruger 10-22?

[@garybellamy3103]

subsonics?

[@MichaelGeriGB]

I'd like to know what people find so wrong with shooting rabbits? I shoot and eat rabbits, pigeons and dove... I'd rather kill it myself than go to the butchers and not know where it's came from... At least when I shoot it myself, I know that it's free range and I can see the condition of the animal before I skin it and eat it. Also, farmers wouldn't make any money if hunters didn't kill some of these animals as pigeons poo in the cow feed and it can harm the calves.. They also eat the crop seeds which stops the crop from growing. Rabbits burrow under the crops and eat them, they also spread myxomatosis. You will go to the shop and buy meat but you won't kill it to eat it... How can you call me crazy? I think anyone who disagrees needs to look at the bigger picture.

[@waddac2]

Some great shots there chaps, well done.

[@ShiftingMetal]

Something really fun about using a sub-sonic .22! Would have been nice to see the bag if it was over 100..

[@howardjones7658]

Good video and human control, do agree with one of the shots. I know there was high elevation but you do sometimes get bounce on hard ground sure you know, seemed both of you where spot on that day, as we all find when you make videos got to be careful, but this is life, keep up the good work lads Howard. one shot vermin

[@taylorharbin3948]

I don’t blue what I like most: the countryside, the rifle, or Byron’s hat.

[@cazador1022]

what suppressors and rifle model do you use

[@jamesritchie2167]

RWS sub sonic .22 rimfire is my go to round. Great ammo.

[@russthebuss2538]

I wonder what gun that was it barely made noise

[@ciro79]

Beautiful 22 lr rifles.Is that CZ 452?

[@eggbertsouse8963]

A .22LR rifle with a properly zeroed scope can be extremely accurate but range is pretty limited. What is your typical range here? I get a fair amount of drop with .22LR at anything more than 100 yards.

[@ronsonnswandom5247]

All this video is missing is a leprechaun and a pot of gold

[@johnkeanettt]

Stfu u bitch. Fuckin think the Irish are that stereotyped

They're English u knobhead.

[@pentogram23]

Im from the States..I have a question..How hard is it for you guys to obtain a gun i mean a .22 rifle there in the U.K.?

[@davidm3maniac201]

Farmers and pestcontrollers can normally obtain FAC. unless you have criminal record or have mental issues. They dont give firearms certificates to anyone in other words. Loads of checks are done on you and if you have a valid reason and no convictions etc then you have a chance. There is different classes of firearms. Your local looney will not get one but then you can always buy a illegal one if you know the right people

[@3030watergates]

ZEUS Apolo then they don’t have gun control then in the UK gun control is just that control who has them these pussies do have mental health issues there shooting 🐇

[@bigshoe9130]

I'm new to shooting and conservation. am I right in saying they were a wee bit too close to the sheep whilst shooting.

[@HJDore]

If there is livestock in the field your shooting in best ideas are to use a sound moderator and don’t shoot vermin that are stood around or running towards livestock.

[@CreatureCribs]

What part of U.K. you in

[@therathunter1814]

What do you mean you can get away with a .22 please ?

[@corporal1c]

Thanks for that, most of the farms around here keep live stock and I've only got a few farmer that grow crops and most of them have given permission to other people to keep the population down.

[@klemet2]

Damn that looks like so much fun. Out on the beautiful hillside, fresh air in your lungs, shooting rabbits. What more could a man want?

[@SweedXI]

sex.

[@klemet2]

Not much fun at all :(

[@TheMrPieDaddy]

Saphire Blue What kind of sick fuck would shoot Broccoli? That's just uncalled for.

[@dcaper61]

Sweed XI Sex with a bunny?!

[@theoprice721]

Playboy bunny

[@faustus2058]

Loving the PETA comments, makes me laugh because they will never be able to get hunting banned, too bad. I guess I'll just have to go out and kill their share of game for them :)

[@ugsisr]

Are you using a silencer on that 22?

[@ugsisr]

***** Wonder why in so many UK Hunts you see them using silencers/suppressors..??

[@Chuchu_ETV]

Not a big deal to get suppressors in Europe

[@MrJamesconn]

I'm kinda pissed in America we can have more guns, but not suppressors. It makes no sense. What rifle/scope/supressor/ammo are you using?

[@6323cole]

You can own suppressors in the U.S.

[@Cody38Super]

DMan1986 They're legal in 39 U.S. States. Here in Texas there is no caliber+suppressor restrictions on hunting, including shotguns and pistols. Some countries won't let civies suppress anything larger than a .22.(if they even let you have anything larger than a .22)

[@effdeedaw]

Great video, guys. I'm living in Canada, and rabbit hunting is also a favourite sport of hunters here.

[@Wild_Bill57]

Holy $h1t, man that looks wicked awesome as we say in Boston (MA, USA) Want to renew my passport, get the paperwork done and head over.

[@nojnoj3069]

Fantastic shooting in a beautiful place. You guys must love shooting there. Excellent marksmanship too. Super clean shots. Dispatched instantly. Well done.

[@northcorkagrivideos1505]

What are the makes of gun on use here I'm looking for theses guns and cannot get them??

[@candaceisthebestyang6874]

+Jordan Harris CZ 452 Trainer or Lux 22lr.

[@al01100]

sure looks like they`re using CZ 452`s

[@schutendohkji548]

R those wabbit good to eat? And how to cook dem?

[@jurieuys9183]

wat types of cz is that a 452 lux or a 452 ultra lux ???

[@candaceisthebestyang6874]

+Jurie Uys Looks like the Lux or Trainer.... I have the 452 Ultra Lux and the stock is way different and my barrel is longer

[@jurieuys9183]

A have the lux

[@xxHydroponicxx]

Well done boys. Glad your brother made it back

[@222varminter]

Now I'm jealous XD Really great hunting in an awesome landscape. Thumbs up!!

[@atharvatoskar87]

is that .22lr?

[@4doorsmorewhores298]

yep

[@specwargru]

Rabbit stew for weeks!

[@Chainman1957]

Great shooting boys, all the best to your brother

[@arzhy6457]

Arabian gulf ???!! (2:56 of the video) Where that is? Is that a new released gulf ?? As far as I know there is a Persian gulf near some Arabian countries but there isn't any Arabian gulf in the world.

[@BluegillsandBeyond]

you scared the goats with the two two rimfire come on lads!

[@twerpantine]

the narration is over the top

[@MrStavross30]

Nice shooting, it's always nice to get new ground the hasn't seen a lot of action

[@smujohnson]

What cartridge? .22LR or .17 HMR?

[@keen2b]

Needs more details Such as Rifles used ammo ?????

[@ronniebeverage]

Hardly recognised these two!

[@KDErkisi]

Are you gonna sell the rabbits? Hope all that meat isn't going to waste.

[@KDErkisi]

What makes you think that I live anywhere near him?

[@salopsniper22]

2min 43-44second shot looked risky with a 22lr with a sheep right behind. Not a shot I would of taken ! Shows what a good tool the 22lr is as a bunny gun though.

[@topherd1011]

subsonic ..

[@matsgranqvist9928]

CDubs HasIt doesen't make no difference

[@darrenwilson9752]

Yeah it does ... it's much slower so it ain't going through a fkn rabbit.. and camera angles can make shit look risky when it really isn't..

[@matsgranqvist9928]

Darren Wilson that comment proves you know jack shit about ballistics. sorry to put you down

[@darrenwilson9752]

Apparently I know a lot more than you. Is the sheep dead? I rest my fuckin case.

[@billy3195]

I grew up shooting rabbits here in North Florida, but we do not have the rabbit population like you have there in the UK. I guess there are too many snakes and other predators over here. Anyway, you guys should make more rabbit hunting videos.

[@simondr70]

That makes for jars of succulent Rabbit stew : P

[@Caleb1995trapman]

great video

[@1anaconda89]

Hmmm. Rabbit (the cottontail) is and has always been my favorite wild meat.Peace.

[@colecampagna6302]

how do i get a job like this

[@sailormanoyster1849]

Nice session. Well done

[@HuasoPodrido]

I have a CZ452 Lux, I'm glad that I bought it almost 20 years ago . Best 22 made.

[@JudahMaccabee_]

I own the rifle used in this video, the CZ 452 Lux in .22 lr, and let me tell you, it's a tack driver. Shooting it is a complete pleasure. I will pass this rifle down to my children for sure.

[@brazenmcgee9512]

Is it the CZ or the BRNO?

[@JudahMaccabee_]

@@brazenmcgee9512 CZ. I also have the BRNO Mod 2., very similar.

[@brazenmcgee9512]

Sounds good are the czs made the same? ive got a couple nice brnos one in .22 hornet and one in .22rf :)

[@bertfromnz9724]

good video - we go shooting once a year in the central South Island of New Zealand - we normally shoot over 1000 rabbits over the week - we use Ruger 10/22's and a Ruger HMR

[@mikehoward8201]

Now that was bustin' some bunnies, there mate!

[@JN003]

the guy said "the rabbot problem was clear to see" was it the point that the rabbits were eating the sheeps grass?

[@battlefieldwaffles]

JusticeNature rabbit burrows can destroy hills, and rabbits themselves can be huge pests to farmers crops.

[@JN003]

battlefieldwaffles thx, I since found out about the crops.

[@hunttomuchwolfe]

I love bunny busting I use a 22lr never had the need for the 17 hmr YET

[@TheGuitarClint]

This looks like so much fun. I wish moderators were legal in canada.

[@abaha9898]

Remember to give some quarry to the farmer

[@colbyburgess5267]

I like the way they jump as the muscles contract when it dies. no pain, just neural reflex

[@270WeaMag]

Big those rabbits, I see using rifles CZ, marking cartridges did you use? The bullet is 40 gr and nothing better to lead the rabbits. I use it at that weight but of mrca Winchester Wildcat model; It is too accurate rifle that I use is a French brand UNIQUE rifle. Very good shots and good work guys population control, I congratulate you.

[@ferdigumusten944]

weapon name : and website ?

[@Bigtjr-mj8op]

I am not 100% sure, but I think it is a CZ 452 or 455

[@ferdigumusten944]

thanks fatal

[@Bigtjr-mj8op]

If they are using the CZ 452 or 455 it should be the training model. My dad has a CZ 452 trying model and it is one of the most accurate .22lr I have every shot.

[@david111davies]

Have you tried a farm that has actual crops that rabbits eat ? Most shooters dont realise that rabbits are where theres lots of nice rabbity food there. Same as rats, you find them in a food scrap area. If rabbits eat corn untill they burst then go to farms at or near corn fields.

[@encorehunter6271]

Man i wish we had rabbits that plentiful here in Indiana. You literally see more rabbits in town than out in the country.

[@stanleygutierrez9153]

lens forgive but next patch prevent harsh gap mud above.

[@maryannestahley2762]

Wow! I loved the scenery and well placed shots. I would have to say that 160 or so rabbits shot in 1day with 2bolt action rifles might be a world record! I think that the .22lr is 1 of my favorite rounds. I buy 500 rounds for about $10 & have shot everything from chipmunk to Fox and the real bonus for me is using a Marlin semi-auto with tube magazine capacity of 19bullets plus 1in chamber is only the icing on the cake to the accuracy and quietness of the round. If anyone hears a shot they think it's a firecracker and dismiss it. The .17 has its place but for the sheer amount of rabbits you guys had to shoot, you can't beat a great .22 long rifle. Great shooting and what a day you guy's had! PS, where in the bell did u put all those bunnies?

[@ciro79]

22LR rules.Best weapon device ever invented.That rifle gets meat on table from rabbit to even hogs.

[@TheBrradsullivan]

i thought silencers were illegal in the UK ??

Europeans are allowed to have suppressors? I thought guns were heavily regulated .I'm not being smart just asking. Thanks

[@Bjarkigd1]

In many european countries it is considered to be very polite to use suppressors

[@schlaznger8049]

Bjarkigd1 Wow that's very cool. Thanks for the info!

[@MikesLeTour83]

It's sad and funny what countries deem "allowable" for their tax paying subjects.............and how much they charge to "allow" us the privilege to enjoy our rights.

[@lioncelica5170]

***** All the rage is to have a milsurp rifle, like a Mosin Nagant for example, with an unthreaded barrel for the originality. Pretty funny if you ask me. Because having it threaded is sometimes mandated by law for use with a suppressor.

[@schlaznger8049]

Lion Celica Wow really had no idea! Thanks!

[@user-hb8be5wb4q]

Some of the commentators on here don't understand just how bad the Ferrell rabbits can be on a farm. Holes that livestock break legs, diseases that are brought onto the farms and introduced to livestock. The culling of the Ferrell animals keeps things under a somewhat control.

[@michaeloconnor9702]

Texas heart shot on a rabbit or any animal should be a no no, the contents of the stomach / bowl destroys and contaminates the meat. If an animal is going to be shot for meat or cull they still deserve respect it death, there should be no rush in the shot if your going to shoot have the animal side on for the shot. Love the rifle your using is it Bruno or CZ they are a very accurate rifle. Mine is a Bruno.

[@canislupus9404]

Lucky tossers! Wish I had a bit of ground like that. Jealousy is a terrible thing! Good shooting lads

[@soylentgreen6727]

Its so green and lush in the UK

[@sean45crooks]

Great vid and great shooting. I wish my hunting spots were as promising as this. They seem to come and go in the numbers from year to year as hare are to do but this spot seems out of this world. For a small game hunter I struggle to find even a few good shots in a trip but this spot is a bag filler and then some. Cheers

Nice hunt guys, I wish we had rabbits like that in Illinois.

i wished we had those rabbits problems here in the united states. i could fill a freezer quick GREAT JOB LADS GOD BLESS

[@bunnystew]

You just have to be in the right place. We have it pretty bad in my part of Indiana. If we don't stay on top of them they'll dig tunnels all through-out our pastures and then our cows and horses chance falling in them. We never eat them though, the barn cats get that job :)

[@contreeman]

NEVER HAD THAT PROBLEM IS S.E. MISSOURI TO MANY COYOTES AND RABBITRABBIT HUNTERS LIKE ME. MY ONLY PROBLEM WOULD BE BUYING A BIGGER FREEZER FOR THE MEAT.

[@schlaznger8049]

We are heavy with rabbits and coyotes in the Southwest of the United States. After the first freeze the rabbits are very tasty, plus we have wild pigs that are eating everything. They are destroying this country farm crop by farm crop. They are at the appitamie of a invisavive species. More need is required to stop these animals
