SCOTTY1 3 Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 LETTING A FEW RABBITS GO IS A GOOD IDEA. THE SUMMER TIME HUNTERS ARE A PAIN IN THE ASS ESPECIALLY THE ONES WHO LAMP HARES AS SOON AS THE STUBBELS ARE CUT YOU CAN HARDLY GET A RUN THIS TIME OF YEAR COS THEY HAVE WASTED IT Quote Link to post
Guest porterlord Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 rabbits breed all year round, and its not just kids as you say,if a farmer phones what ever day of the year and says i need rabbits taking, what are you going to do say no because its summer, i think not cos if you wont do it he will find someone that will, i have spoke to the farmer he has said to me there has been nothing around for ages.

Letting out rabbits is not realistic in the long term,where are you going to get the rabbits from to release,if your able to get them in one place ,why bother with the spot that has none..

Guest porterlord Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 well this is what im thinking i am constuntly thinking will it do any good. if i released 10 not alot i know but like you know they breed 3-4 times a year long term it would be better if left for 2-3 years.

This time of year would be good,it would give them enough time too settle in before spring when breeding starts,but i cant see it as an option for your long term hunting,sounds like you need to travel further afield bud, Quote Link to post

sh 08 17 Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 I agree, there was a young lad (19) ferreting in july by me. Didnt have permission and just left the rabbits there. The next time i saw him i asked what he was doing he said " just wanted to give my dog a run" even worse he left his ferret there on a kill Quote Link to post

Just look come winter how many people are selling dogs because they are moving house or have a new job working away or are splitting up with the misses , no such thing happen much through the summer months . Its a joke. Quote Link to post
