"Shhh. Be vewy vewy quiet, I'm hunting wabbits"
EEEHHHHHHHHHHHHH........ what's up doc?.... 🥕🥕🥕🥕
😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
That never gets old😅😅
Heh heh heh
Duck season, bang.
"They always send the young ones out first " smart wabbits
If anyone wants various types of pest control look no further than this guy, top drawer as usual 👍
Thank you 🙏
Nice clean hunting . No wind , great eye and awesome equipment. Suppressor Nice 👍.
Ahh my favorite caliber 'shooting stick' an Anschutz 1417, I do like the looks of that stock.
Totally agree. I'd rather own a second hand Annie than I would a new BRNO. I've owned both rifles and the Anschutz was something special.
Brings a new meaning to the phrase "Bunny Hop"!
You can put your sarcasm wherever you freak
Great to see the Anschutz out, more please.
What lovely sounds of Summer in the background, seems a long distant memory already!
nice vid👍 I used to use a 22lr but found that after shooting them and as in your video they jump around loads before expiring. So have moved to a 17hmr which disintegrates on impact at over 2500 fps! quicker kill and devastating impact. only down side is its a little louder but have found better results. also the 17hmr has less “flyers” than the 22lr👍
I’ve probably shot over 500 cases of Eley sub sonic ammo in small bore competition. I cant say I’ve ever had a ‘flyer’…… And a suppressed .22 with that ammo isn’t just slightly quieter, it’s literally silent, something you’ll never achieve with a 17.
Im in Australia and suppressors are not allowed. great to hear that you don’t get any flyers, what ammo do you use? was using cci which was the most consistent with the 22 but one in every 10 or so would be a flyer. nice clean barrel and the rifle is a 452 CZ.
@@garytrigg-graynoth4034 It's a shame suppressors aren't allowed in Oz. I think the public (and Authority) perception of them is basically from the movies, which portray them as something used only by criminals (patently false) and completely silent (which they are not, they suppress the sound but you can still hear it if you're nearby). This deprives legitimate shooters of a very useful tool. Even with a .22 LR which can make quite a distinctive crack, not only does it alert the rabbits but there are times you may need to shoot close to houses (eg the farmer that has asked for the help) and early in the morning and you don't want to be waking people up with the noise, dogs barking etc. And if you're shooting bigger rounds like .223 or .243 a suppressor is really a must unless you want to advertise your presence for miles around. Some Laws just don't make good sense and are overkill (pun pun)
@theo 100% agree, to many politicians watching james bond im affraid😂 issues here are the rules that apply for the hunting and country living folk are made by idiots in the city🤦♂️
Excellent marksmanship, some nice food for your hard work, like my Airgun and your Airgun hunting, but iv always got a soft spot for my CZ 22 LR hunting .👍🤠
Also makes a change from using my air rifles all the time.
,,.👍
I’ve just gotten into watching hunting vids lately and find it pretty interesting, this is probably one of the best I’ve seen this week, nice hunts!
Glad to hear you’re enjoying the videos.
Honestly me too. Especially when it comes to hunting invasive and destructive species. Also nice Alastar pfp.
Love that set-up, great shooting, salute from America.😃
Thank you Kevin
Rabbits: "Nyah, nyah! We can bugger each other faster than you can rack that bolt."
Well done
Brilliant more 22 lr rabbits and squirrels please. I haven’t seen you take many squirrels with your 22lr recently in videos.
Love the accuracy of the subsonics!
nice one mate - very impressed at how silent those subsonics are - always thought fac airguns were better for rabbits but with how silent and cheap those subsonic rounds are with the obvious advantage of no need to refill an air tank i may just have to try subsonics in a .22
They're rather quiet but the sound of a 40gr hollow point echoes quite loud on impact. I never worry about refilling an air tank as I don't shoot enough rabbits to empty the cylinder. Both have their uses, just depends how I'm feeling that day on which one to use.
Thanks.
@@lancsvermincontrol that is a fair point about never really shooting enough to empty a tank and to be honest the only time ive ever emptied the tank on my dreamline was a full day of decoying crows. might just have to get a 22 to try subsonics as having options is never a bad thing
It's always good to have a 22LR with subsonics. They're pretty good fun.
Gunpowder is just more fun imo. Less faff more shooting. If you’re a tinkerer then airguns are for you.
@@pvegod1484i don't think they can own firearms that shoot gun powder.
Your A1417 rifle looks a lot like the Savage BTV. A very affordable, very accurate 22LR rabbit hammer. It has an adjustable trigger.
deadly combo, amazingly quiet. Great shooting
That nighttime setup is pretty sweet.
The long rifle hollow point .22 cartridges sold in Canada by CIL, are 36 grains & 1365 FPS. I have been using them all my life (I am 83) & they will easily take down a deer. (don't ask me how I know !!! If we consider that the speed of sound is 1173 FPS at standard temperature & pressure, the CIL rounds are supersonic
Enjoy your videos.
Which would be illegal in the UK.
@@skipmole612, and most of the U.S., if not all states. No rimfire rounds on deer.
Wonder how many commenting against this eat fast food
Good shooting mate well done farmer will be pleased , look forward to some more 22cal L/R shooting.
Great video bud, I’ve been shooting for about a year, got my first permission today
Such a sweet, silent setup! Would love to try that out on wild hogs here in Texas! Great video!!
Thanks for watching Tim 👍
great shooting LVC, the .22lr a great rimfire i had x2
annies in the past great guns.
atb brian
Great shooting as usual, great setup and attention to detail & patience , keep posting your videos.
Thank you Gaz
@@lancsvermincontrol You getting paid for this, or not ??? (can't be bothered watching the typical British trigger happy , itchy finger type, repetitive stuff )
As always Lanc your attention to detail and professionalism has given you top honors in your field. My opinion best shooting on CZcams!! Kudos to you my friend
Your opinion is also the truth 😂 thank you very much Fernandez 👍
This is great to fill up a corner of the freezer !! 👍
It sure is!
Those energy dumps are so crazy. Nervous system always on RUN
glad to see you pop up tonight - another great little vid - keep em coming - cheers,
Thanks, will do!
..,👍
Great to see the LR out👍
It is a crying shame, when a nice rifle only sees paper targets. Nice shooting !
Parabéns ,ótimo vídeo, disparos foram excelentes, 22 muito eficiente para controle de pragas tamanho pequeno e médio.
great video as always. What distance do you sight in at with the subsonics and what distance where the rabbits shot at?
Zero was 40 yards and distances were between 30 and 60 yards.
60 to 80 yards is just perfect for comfortable rabbiting. When I was airgun hunting I just couldn’t get close enough without crawling on my face for 25 yards 😭 now I can setup with the tripod and comfortably pop anything that jumps out along a whole tree / hedge line. 22lr is the perfect calibre with how quiet it is with subsonics
Iv got the same scope, just bought same LRF as you have, do you just bolt it on and align it? Mines on a cz 457.
Paul from Yorkshire.
Yes pretty much. You will see it flashing during night time.
Love them bunny hops
Great video. The rabbits were coming out of the woodworks...literally!
You have the best job in the UK
Really enjoyed this one.
Yes bring out the 22LR again 👍
Glad you enjoyed the 22LR. Wish I could use it more often on the channel but don’t really have many rabbit shooting permissions were 22LR is safe to use.
@@lancsvermincontrol pity there's another shooter on utube that does a lot with a 22LR but he appears to be shooting in a valley with a good backstop.
"Be vewwy vewwy quiet. We're hunting wabbits"
What laser range finder do you use mate and how do you read the measurements, is it a separate screen for reading?
Thanks keep up the great footage
It is a LE032 range finder and it has a screen display. You can see it blink at night time.
You have a sweet setup. Excellent shooting. I do the same on my ranch. I have a psycho Weiner dog that retrieves my rabbits and prairie dogs for me. lol
Another quality video cheers Lanc 👍🇬🇧
Glad you enjoyed it
Hunters and American farmers collaborate to address the challenges posed by the overabundance of wild boars, monkeys, and baboons, implementing innovative solutions to protect crops and natural habitats.
Great shooting, guy. It is rabbit stew for a month.
Which do you prefer ? 22lr or 177hmr ? Like you I have both ! I find that the 177home gets a lot more use but still wouldn't get rid of my 22, brilliant pest control video, keep up the good work and when I can't get out and do the same thing I do love to watch you doing the same thing 👍👍👍
I like both. 22LR is good when there are only a few rabbits but 17hmr is good when there is quite a lot as they don't all run away after the "crack".
We call this "bunny blasting" in Utah. Good times.
Utah is a great state! 👍
Quick question what is that clamp that you have on top your trigger stick?
Bogg death grip
I see you have a tripod. You might set that up for a sitting position, that way you get above the grass during the day and the illuminator isn't blocked by the grass at night.
Great shooting and nice video! Keep’em rolling!
Thank you as always mate 👍
Nice,to c the real thing my frend. Old .22 thank you.i use to Finnish bokses of the caliber.on a farm in South Africa. Alldays
I've found 15-20 minutes for young 'uns, 30 -40 for old ones. The majority you will shoot are does, but the ones you REALLY want are the bucks. If you aim for the rear of the head, and destroy the spinal / basal area, they wont jump around, they just dirt nap instantly.
I was shooting on Bredon Hill in Worcestershire many years ago with my Daystate Huntman PH6. I killed 30 rabbits in 30 minutes. With an Airstream silencer all you hear is a faint "click". If you are in front, you hear nothing.
Awesome man, im keen to do this.
Snatch mk 2, the Hare`s are alright in this sequel, its just those pesky wabbits that get ``proper fucked`` LOL.
He got a nice dinner tonight. I love rabbit
Great marksmanship Lanc-well done. Question(s): can you tell us why hares aren't an issue to the farmers [at least now], but the rabbits are? Are they "out-of-season?
Also, as someone whose killed/eaten a lot of rabbits over the years, I wondered what happens to these? Do you or the farmer get them-or do they go to feed the poor?
No biggy-just wondered. Always a thumbs up-great job. God bless.
Great shooting with the 22lr , nice bag of bunnies..freezer fillers..cheers..mike ❤😊
Certainly is a full freezer 😄
Where did you get the clamp adapter for the shooting sticks?
It is a 3d printed saddle clamp from eBay.
Great video ! ....can i ask what tripod do you use ?
Thanks, it is the Primos trigger stick.
That is some great shooting AND some great eating too, I might add!
Hehe vewy vewy quiet
You're a good film maker.
Thank you 👍
Brilliant video and shooting mate, cracking watch, Cheers 👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Always a pleasure Casper 👍
👍,..
Love how you rack that bolt like you are holding a .50 cal.
It needed a service that’s why 😂
@@lancsvermincontrol if that's really the excuse, you need to learn to maintain your rifle.
@@Grimasaurus Not an excuse, it's an old battered thing that needs a good service or pretty much replacing with a new rifle. It was bought 2nd hand from an old fella who had used and abused. I just wanted to use it before it finally gets taken somewhere to be destroyed.
A very good Friday morning to you sir from Wellington Somerset
Thank you very much 👍
I got a 22 magnum savage that gives rabbits the business. I prefer it over my 12 and 20 gauge. Delicious critters
Great hunt and I have to say I did crack up at the "matrix rabbit" comment.
Thanks, and I get plenty of matrix rats also on my other videos. Seems to be a common theme 🤷♂️😂
Nice video you have here, i just have few question i want to ask
How you can make a record from inside of your scope?
If you eat the rabbits, is than has a gunpowder stuff around that meat?
And then is there any of your friend or someone who hunt the pest using a slingshot or a bow?
Hello, glad you enjoyed the video.
The scope is a Hik Alpex which can record the footage.
The rabbits are safe to eat and this is an air rifle, no gun powder.
Really like the rabbit hunts . Severely love the squirrel hunts. Great shooting as usual. Best of luck on all your hunts.
This site is for hard-core sadists...rabbits are not vermin. Disgusting. and what country is this in?
Well done, that barrel looks a bit short but seems it works, what scope is it??💪👍
Read the description.
Subsonic and hollow point sounds like an oxymoron, but ok. Great shooting. What distances?
The 4:50 one didn't know it was dead.
Great shooting Lanc. Good to see the .22LR in action. Cheers from Texas.
Always a pleasure David 👍
...👍
I’ve watched a few of these now - rats, pigeons, rabbits etc. and they all flop around a lot after head shots with nerves twitching like mad, but the question is, does everything do this when head shot?
I wondered the same, I use sub 12ft lb air rifle and they just keel over, I am pretty good at hitting the ganglia which prevents the twitching and jumping about.
I’m a camera noob... how do you film the view through the scope?
The scope is a Hik Alpex and it is a digital day/night scope which can record.
What's the range finder you're using ?. Some clinical shooting there too !. 🙂
LE032. Thank you 😊
22LR subsonic hollow points, what a mouthful
Nice shooting G. Your lucky to have rabbit to shoot. Round us they start to get the numbers up then die of with the haemorrhaging or the Myxy.
On this particular land near me there doesn't seem to be mixy just yet, but shooting up Bolton/Wigan way they have mixy there unfortunately.
While it is what it is I'm wondering what is the difference between rabbits and hares that would give the latter a pass other than the preferences of the farmer.
I’ve had critters disappear when hunting with quiet rifles. I think that a weasel was in the wood pile heard the trashing and grabbed it.
Why were the Hares not taken ?
What method are you using to range find just out of curiousity?
LE032 laser range finder
That bolt on your rifle sounds as rough as guts when you reload
What do you use for a scope camera?
Hik Alpex
Question for you Sir. Are Semi-autos not allowed in the UK? Just that I use a Ruger 10-22 here in NZ and they work a treat on the bunnies and Possums.
Yes semi auto 22LRs are allowed here.
Thanks!
Thank you very much for the kind donation. Things like this help me to continue making more videos. It is very much appreciated.
Awesome shooting my friend! You really piled up the rabbits!!
Thank you, it was an enjoyable evening reducing the numbers.
That's a fine rifle mate!
I'm new to hunting... Do they normally go off like that when you headshot them? Is that all nerves?
Yes it is perfectly normal with a headshot. It is the nerves and the body shutting down. Perfectly humane.
@@lancsvermincontrol awesome.
I also use sub sonic 22 shorts but I like too kick it up a bit! I put a drop of cooking oil in the hollow point then I seal it with a single bird shot taped in lightly! They expand more and cause a lot more damage! Just sayin try it you'll love it!
It might sound daft but when you collect them after hunting them but do you hang them and eat them? Cos I know I would lol, Lovely jubbly.
Yes they get eaten
Yeah, that’s kinda odd seeing Jacks (jackrabbits/hares) with Cotton Tails. Why aren’t the Jacks targets? They do a real number on drip systems over here. Well they both do….but we use to drop those right off the bat. Far more of them too.
What's up doc?
Those pesky wabbits 😂
Excellent shooting
I tend to go for heart/lung shots as the impact of the HP CCI round knocks the bunny over and it kicks very little. head shots, in my experience always seem to provoke the massive thrashing seen in your bunnies which can, in my cases, have seen the bunny leap into a hedge or long grass and I lose them.. Do you have any opinion or contrary thoughts?
A head shot is a smaller target and I find that over 50 yards, the grouping of a hollow point round is nowhere near as good as target rounds.
This seems to be pretty normal ?
I shoot at night with a thermal scope. I have 2 hides but the bunnies seem to have learned why they are there :)
Headshots all the way. I use a dog to retrieve them so they can bounce where ever they want. They can't hide from a psycho Weiner dog. 😂😂
@@FarmerFpv haha.. Point taken :)
I have to pick up my own bunnies and having them bounce into a thorny bush costs me my bunny fee.
Weapons Grade Respect..
CCI is not the best as the bullet is too hard and the hollow point too small. Winchester Super X is very accurate and bangs rabbits down out to 70 yards or more. Headshots all the way.
@@skipmole612 Thanks for that.
My 50yard grouping using CCI subs is larger than I would like, especially as my 10.22 with target ammo produces a single hole at the same distance.
I shall see if I can get any Winchester Super X in the UK.
I will ask my guy who takes the bunnies I shoot to feed his ferrets if he has recovered any bullets to see if they expand at all.
In ballistic gel, they seems to do the business. Always keen to learn..
Weapons Grade Respect from the UK...
@@ClaymateDesigner Pleasure. I'm in the UK. You shouldn't have a problem getting Super X. Mini Mag is not bad but it doesn't knock them down like Super X.
grew up on the farm at 8 grandma gave me a 22 rifle to shoot rabbits to eat and anything that dug a hole
"Matrix rabbit." LOL
As a city boy, I'm curious--are the rabbits a pest that eat crops? If so, why are hares not a problem?
In the UK you don't get a lot of needs or opportunities to own a real firearm. It is weird for me however to see such accessories on a lowly BA .22 rimfire as i grew up in NZ and owned my air rifle at 10. Was actively shooting rabbits with iron sights with a .22 single shot SA rifle by 13, and bought my first .270 at 16 yrs. That was worthy of a scope, and took down many a deer, goat and Thar.
Which tripod you got there mate
Primos trigger sticks.
Yea! send it!!
