    Interestingly Rabbit hunting is where most of us started and probably where most of us may well finish up

    It’s hard to beat a warm afternoon searching familiar surroundings, there’s patience to be learned and a blending in with your surroundings.
    Get the most accurate rifle that suits you -and practise at a range to say 80 yards, headshots or chest shots will save the most meat.

    When you have a good area consider “farming” it, ie perhaps don’t shoot everything, let them breed so you can go back and continue honing your skills

    You will find rabbits in many places, they like orchards.

    After a while I developed a hunting technique that neither scared the rabbits or even alarmed them, I varied my approach styles, wore drab coloured clothing and concealed my face etc, then moved from cover to cover and as slowly as I could.

    I was then able to observe them going about their day

    Until they spot me

    Hunting small game is great fun, and the skills you develop transfer over to hunting large game as well.
