Ed Cook considers reining in a rabbit population solely by using a gun

- Ed Cook

Shooting rabbits with a gun can be rewarding as it is frustrating and testing. But is it effective? It very much depends on the circumstances and the goal that you are aiming to achieve.

Rabbit control with a gun requires a pragmatic approach, according to whether you are going out to shoot a few or something a lot more substantial. Safety is paramount and should always be the first consideration for someone wanting to control rabbits with a firearm on any given plot of land.

Anyone can pull a trigger but it takes a level head to refuse the shot if the situation is questionable. At all times care should be taken with regard to housing, roads, livestock and, of course, other people. Stony ground is something to beware in this regard, especially for ricochet.
