One of my mates bedroom window looks out on to a feild swarming with rabits. Just open in the window witha cup of tea on the sill. Its great.
The skill in bigger game is more in getting within range and to take it down with out pissing off the gillie but sticking the bullet in a good bit of meat. If your ever up my way, take your gun. Can take you to a few place, if your lucky the owner might be in and you could get a shot of his guns. Were re-doing his lodge at the moment. We have put new gun cabnets in the basement for him. There is enough space for 40 odd guns so you will have plenty of choice.
BUt would like a go at rat hunting. Sounds fun.
