    Rabbit for Income?

    I'm a U.S. resident who has heard tales of rabbit hunting for dog food companies and other assorted distributors.

    Really, I'm just a college student who wouldn't mind the better part of a year off hunting critters in NZ.

    Does anyone do this or know anyone who does? Is it a worthwhile/sustainable venture?

    Thanks.

    Also, I love the community on this forum. Happy hunting.

    Welcome aboard Tex. Good to have you here
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    I ate Rabbit and Rice saving for my first house, 5 years and I was there, man I appreciated my own place after that !!!

    I still like Rabbit simmered in cream until it reduces to a thick paste on the meat, clean white rice on the side with a little butter on top.

    Thanks man. Luckily, I'm not looking to support a family or any large payments. Just a bachelor lifestyle.
    Seems as if they're only dealing in possums, though, and I have no experience hunting them...

    I come from the great state of Texas. If people would pay for feral hogs here I would be in business.

    Do you guys get many users from the U.S.?

    There certainly are a few on here from the states (and the rest of the world as well) and it is gaining momentum. We welcome the stories that come from them as the hunting is quite different in terms of species and terrain so we enjoy hearing about it.

    Welcome aboard tex I actually frequent firearm forum from the U.S (gun and game) and it is great to see more of you coming over to our forum and sharing with us like some of us do on other overseas sites
    RULE 4: IDENTIFY YOUR TARGET BEYOND ALL DOUBT


    To be a Human is to be an Alien, ask the animals, We invade this world and we are killing it, we are destroying the earth and nobody gives a fuck except for the animals
