The Mighty .22LR - Rabbit Cull Contract Shooting

I'm often questioned on why don't I do pest control shooting with smaller, non centerfire cartridges. Well I do, I just don't post many videos with them because it's mainly small scale shooting. This contracted shoot was all about bulk numbers, part of a professional pest control program with a local rabbit plague. Plenty of shooting action on this one for you all to watch. The little Lithgow LA101 rimfire rifle chambered in .22LR was on song with the Pulsar Thermion 2 XP50 thermal scope.

Rabbits shot are utilised where possible for the pot or pet food. But with a large cull like this many just go into landfill.

Notable mention to the other pro shooters working this job. Fantastic to see the dedication and professionalism displayed on the program. There was a very notable drop in rabbit numbers by the end of the shoot. Satisfying to see the direct impact a coordinated shooting cull can achieve.

Some of the other guys shoot fully suppressed which was cool as. Tools of the trade were obviously .22 rimfire rifles shooting subsonic hollow points. And a few high powered air rifles for locations more noise and impact sensitive around structures etc. Thermal is nearly mandatory with the long grass. Running lights or night vision scopes is a real problem with this amount of ground cover.
