Would love to give something like that a blast or setting traps for Rabbits instead of rifles.  Rabbit stew is hard to beat though yum yum.

Sounds like an awesome trip. What was the plan if you didn't manage to kill anything to eat?

no beers, as beer and guns = dead mate  ::)
if we hadn't shot anything we would have had some fine tasting spud and carrot stew. but having 600 acres to hunt, there wasn't much risk.

only big prob/issue is that for safety, the rifles must be locked in a car whilst we sleep, so we had to take jeep to the camp.

as far as snares go, i don't use them, they slowly strangle the rabbit. and as i like to eat my rabbit meat fresh i prefer to shoot, and gut pronto, rabbit left with guts intact will quickly taint the meat
