lift boy 0 Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 I have been given permission to work a farm and also a huge forest. I went up earlier to see what it was like. The hedges have been cut on the farm fields there is very little holes, none actually in the fields. And the forest was so big that I didnt have time to look deep. Is it just because its overgrown or is it one that is actvity free? Quote Link to post

lift boy 0 Posted September 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Well there were a few holes few and far between. The soil was not to fresh and no droppings, my biggest worry is how it`s overgrown. Maybe more will appear in a couple of months. It will be a long hike to the centre of the woods especially with the kit. Quote Link to post
Leeview 791 Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 A flick around with a lamp one night may give you a better idea? they maybe coming out of the forest to feed on the farmland, hope they do Y.I.S Leeview Quote Link to post

The one 8,528 Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 If there in the Forrest it should be easy digging mate but if there big trees you might be bent double trying to ferret under them Quote Link to post
hagar 5 Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 you could always ferret a few elsware then drop the catch off on your new land , leave it a few months and hey presto prime rabbit land Quote Link to post
stealthy1 3,964 Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 If there are any rabbits near the forest you will see damage to the bark on the trees Quote Link to post
lift boy 0 Posted September 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Just been up there for a walk and didn`t see any rabbits only one squirrel. All the holes are under a curtain of moss. Theres no nesquik anywhere. So worrying a bit. Its a huge forest so there must be rabbit there but the farm no longer works only as a hobby farm for the son so there is very little cattle. Quote Link to post
