Respect for quarry during the summer months leave them to breed

[bullmatt 5]

been out every day this week walking for about 6 miles a day lamping the fields golf coarses ect there is nothing and i mean nothing. i keep thinking about bagging a few rabbits and releasing them. but done it before and they have been wiped out. would you repopulate or just leave it. it pisses me off that kids (boys)go out during the summer and wipe them out instead of leaving them to repopulate do you have the same problem near you.

i would be looking at mixi, not boys as you call them

mixi has not been around for years i wouldnt mind am usely garrenteed to see at least 3 -4 foxes a night. im seeing nothing

mixi aint been round for years my arse.

When have you ever seen these 'boys' walk off these lands with big heaving bags of rabbits. Stop blaming it on the younger generation

i agree to a degree, but if infested with them i cant see the problem.if the land has small numbers then yes give them time off to recooperate.

when i was younger i done the ferreting during the summer, it wasn't until one day i was gutting a rabbit and she was full of young, that put me off hunting in the summer and now i keep it to the winter or mid september at the very earliest.

i started ferreting at the age of 11 with my uncle and loved every minute of it there were many of times i had seen people coming away in the summer months with rabbits. i dont do it in summer i leace it until the right months where there should be plenty

Rabbits = vermin ..Vermin = pest

Hunt them 24/7 and do your job

Releasing rabbits onto somebodies land that they have kindly let you work your dogs/ferts or shoot is defeating the object of what you do.

your right bud,that would be the main reason i dont do it,or catching a doe when shes at her lowest after having a litter,morally it doesnt

sit well with me, hunting is so much more than killing,.

[scotty2306 37]

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.

when would you say is the best time is to release rabbits.

tried it they were breeding like mad at summer we put 15 ferreted bunnies behind my house out of sight left them alone all summer use to see 50plus every day, come winter mixy came and wiped them out none now should have lamped them at summer

i agree with the comments above, the "rabbit = vermin etc" but i do like the hunting more than the killing

spot on mate
