Quit my job to go shooting rabbits!!!
- Thread starter RangerPete
- Start date
A friend and I shoot over 850 jackrabbits in two nights with 22 rf in Oregon a few years ago. Out of 12 pivots 11 sections long we only shot in 4. Should have stayed longer.

Would you train and hire me, oh, I wish. That would be a dream job IMHO.

Hi Hog,
It is called a brush tailed possum.
They are an Australian species that have been introduced into New Zealand.
I believe in Australia they are protected, but here in New Zealand they have no predators and their numbers have reached into the millions. They destroy the natural vegetation in New Zealand are considered to be one of the worst pest species in NZ.

Funny thing about gun laws is that they only apply to law abiding citizens
In New Zealand, if you are a law abiding citizen and hold a firearms licence, you can legally own firearms

Sounds a touch familiar.

Very envious! Congrats on the leap and wish you the best. If I was nearby I would be asking for a job application!

The new business is going well thanks Oledawg.
I think I’ve set my prices too low
I’m busy but don’t seem to be making money
But I’m shooting plenty of rabbits and getting plenty of video footage to make you tube videos
, which are time consuming to say the least!But I can’t complain, I’m getting to do a lot of shooting and that’s what I enjoy

Unless you are independently wealthy you need to cover expenses and living costs plus a reasonable profit. You should have an idea of the number side. You should also have an idea of the number of bunnies you can splat per hour then you do the math, I'd chuck in a fudge factor of +30% but I'm sure you know this. Let us know your YouTube link we can subscribe and help your bottom line.The new business is going well thanks Oledawg.

Hi Hog,
Thanks. I dont think I’ll be making any money off you tube any time soon, I think you need hundreds of thousands of views before that happens.
But if you are interested here is a link to the third video I have posted:
Many thanks,
Pete.

Have to start somewhere, persistence is either a virtue or mental diseases, hard to tell which sometimes.

Nice shooting, it would be amazing to do that full time. You should consider doing a little intro on your vids explaining your job and where and how your doing it. Come up with a catchy title ect. Pesting vids on youtube are super popular you have great footage and could put out weekly vids. Play your cards right and with a little luck you may have a channel that pulls in lots of subscribers and future customers.

Hi John,
Funny thing about “pest” animals, is that no o e wants to eat them!
I haven’t tried them my self but I know a guy who says they are great. He just takes the back lags off and does them in an air fryer.
I’m keen to give it a go my self

Hi Neu,
Thanks, that’s a good suggestion about comming up with an intro. I must look into it.
The next question is, do I add music, or commentary?
Pete.
