andyfr1968 772 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Just keep on asking around, mate My most productive shoot is an hours drive from where I live, it's only small but it's a cracking spot for bunnies when the weather's a bit better, there's feck all about just now though... I got it through a friend of a friend of a friend, so to speak. A mate of mine was having a random chat with someone at his local Flat Coat Retrievers club and someone else got into the conversation and happened to mention they were having rabbit problems on their small holding, my mate passed on my number and BINGO!!! a lovely little spot. Stick with it, mate, you'll get there Cheers. Quote Link to post

halamrose 24 Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Top idea caravan clubs, I do quite well wiht places public can go, car boot site, outdoor center, sailing club, guy who sells straw. You can see they need help before you ask and can start the conversation something like: Looks like those bunnies have fun around here... H Quote Link to post
