Someone Had Fun Last Night

[glass22 0]

I set snares last night at around 9pm and checked them this morning, and something has done a number on the rabbits.

 

One snare has hair in it but no rabbits, with a couple of rabbit parts near it.

 

One snare has just a rabbit head with no body.

 

One snare has just the back end of a rabbit.

 

One 6 strand snare has been snapped

 

and One had a live rabbit in it.

 

 

Mr Fox certainly had a good night.

put little bells on the snare when the fox shakes or pulls them it will put them off , ur rabbit will still be in there next morning.

I don't really mind if the fox eats them.

 

I just threw them away anyway.

The fox doesn't do any damage and is not a pest on the land.

Don't want to eat them and have no use for them.

I've killed a lot of rabbits and thrown a lot away, this time of year rabbits caught in snares/traps are quickly fly blown... So it depends if its for the pot or for pure vermin control ? If they can be used I'll use them or sell them.. If not, some other creature will benefit from the bounty, fly,crow,fox whatever

Todays throw away society, i'll just bet you snared them on pasture as well.

dont know your setup but get down thw pub give them away but dont waste them!!!!!!!!!!

 

have you ever had rabbit or you dont want the hassle?

 

not having a go just wondered use the rabbit to your advantage if you have snared them they will be good for the butcher as no body damage if you dont want money swap them for beef chicken pork what ever you can get!!!!!!!!

I've never eaten rabbit and I don't want the hassel.

 

-

 

I catch them purely for pest control purposes, it's paddock land used for sporting type use and they dig holes and eat wooden equipment that's used.

 

If I knew someone who wanted them, they could gladly have them but I don't.

 

I guess I could ask a butcher.

Or falconers, or local zoos or animal type places, or pubs, or friends (including for their dogs, ferrets, etc). Being able to skin and gut a rabbit is a good skill to have.

 

By the way, something is just nagging me: ... by "throw away" you do mean leave in the field for something to come along and snaffle it and not "throw away" as in a bit destined for the land fill, right?

I just chuck them in long grass, or a bush.
