What's the most cost-effective way to hunt desert rabbits?

Pellet rifle.

>>634184
with a snake
>>
>>634184
fully auto submachinegun with laser sight and armor piercing rounds, night vision goggles, tactical cheeseburgers, and some budweiser. That's the american way.
>>
177, slingshot, or throwing stick.
>>
>>634208
basically what i came here to post

>throwing stick
free, but takes some practice

>.177 pellet rifle
wide range of initial $ outlay, depending on desired quality, then small continued expense, but easy-mode for hunting anything that size or smaller: quail, squirrel, etc.
>>
>>634211
Pellets are also waaaay cheaper than .22, and easier to find.

Opinion discarded
>>
>>634249
Actually a mem for running out of bullet.

I have no interest in my opinion being accepted, because I have no ego.

I also have no pellet rifle, get weekly e-ba lasts from Pyramyd Air and am looking at the Air Arms takedown PCP. Yes, $1k+.

The first air rifle to consider after the Benjamin Maurader.

But your milage may vary because you have a clever post.

Ha, fair enough.
>>
>>634184
EAA Baikal MP18. Single shot boomstick for 130$. Don't even think about throwing sticks, tomahawks and other crap. Some ol' good steel and powder- that's the way of white man.

Are those modern repro or are they antique?

With this. Its a $30 gun I repaired with hoseclamps, bailing wire, a nail and random bits.
>>
Snares or cheap springer air rifle.
>>
Slingshot would have to be the cheapest.

Or wait for a BB gun to go on sale

>>634480
I had a good set, /k/ sperged out because it was mostly pov shots with wasteland gear so I... Well... Can't find them now. But I will, big rabbit hunt monday.
>>
>>634273
No. Make him do it.
>>
>>634324
Modern, but katana and wakazashi. Good quality, not yardsale tier. Bronze tsubsas, ray skin...

Do not recommend for hunting rabbits, heh.
>>
Most cost effective is probably shooting whatever you already own.

An air rifle is the cheapest, but not if you have to spend $100 to get one.

If you already have a .22 then shoot that. .22 ammo is cheap, and you don't have to invest in another gun.

If you have a .17 and no other option, it would be cheaper still than buying an air rifle. You're going to be shorting a handful of times at most while hunting, so you won't use that much ammo. In the long run it may cost more, but short term no.

There are other benefits to using a .22 or .17 over an air rifle. More rsnge, little bit better take down power, ect.

A pipebomb. Nothing beats a well placed pipebomb.

Couple classy vintage pieces, left from '50's.
>>
>>634243

From what I am seeing, I don't see 40 worth of crap. Hell not even 10k.
>>
>>634392

Repaired? From what you have said in all your other threads, you did it on purpose to make it look like fall out gun. Looks like shit.
>>
>>634392
If you need hose clamps to fix a gun, it's not safe to shoot.

This is not cosplay.

You don't see them all, now do you? But a fair estimate for what is pictured, just levers and pumps and not all fit in the display cabinet.

>>634184
Snares.

Good ones can be used pretty much forever.
>>
>>634924
Hose lamps keep the foregiard on. Without it foreguard it falls off. It ain't there for cosplay purposes.

>>634886
Link me to that then. What I've said is it was a busted up shotgun that I made fireable and then since the bluing was half gone I just finished the job.
>>
>>634935

If you manage to find their water source and the path they take to it, you have a high chance of being successful with a snare, best chance at first light and sunset.

Confirmed does not know what he's talking about.
>>
>>634964
Project harder. Everything needs water dipshit.
>>
>>634969
Cottotails and Jackrabbits get their water from what they eat. So learn your pray and stop being defensive.

You are just wrong on the internet, nobody's going to tell your mom.
>>
>>634964
I hunt rabbits around sand hollow a lot. Its in the desert.
>>
>>634964
I'm in AZ motherfucker, and both a rabbit and would find water where you would just die.

>>635401
Are you saying you both live in Arizona and are a rabbit? Because your sentence structure is confusing and you sound drunk.

>ctrl+F trap
>0 results found

The chance of you sitting there and seeing a rabbit then shooting it and not contaminating the meat is quite rare.

Best to set a bunch of these babies up around a warren and coming back the next morning to a very nice breakfast.
>>
>>635563
Would somebody post a pic of a real trap, that shit ain't foolin' dick.

So.... I've been hunting rabbits with a shotgun for years and now you're saying I was spoiling the meat?
