jo54 255 Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 There is another way of looking at it... Rabbits are £4.99 at my local game dealer, and go for £2.50 each in the pubs and clubs. So, some may be doing it for more than sport or because the farmer wants them to !! I wouldn't blame any one for lamping if it was helping pay their bills and keep food on their table ! Cheers. 4.99 jesus you nearly have to pay lads to take them off you over here.I agree if lads are doin it to pay bills cause i know for a fact il do anythin to put food on my familys table and keep a roof over our heads Same game dealer,, half a hare £4.99, squirrel £2.99, woodie £2.99. So you can see why some lads don't stop for "summer" ! Cheers i love being out with the dogs summer or winter .......................end of ................................ Quote Link to post
chartpolski 23,149 Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 i appreciate all the oppinions but im on about people the same as me that do it for sport for them and their dogs... You asked why are people still lamping rabbits at this time of year...and you got some diverse, but genuine answers ! As it happens, I've stopped now, but can see why some still do, some I agree with; others I disagree with, each to their own, I say ! Cheers. Quote Link to post
bendrover 556 Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Some lamp all year round; and they will answer your question with "pest control", "will lose my permission", etc. But the fact is; they just WANT to !! Cheers. hit the nail on the head there my friend. Quote Link to post

The game dealer SELLS them for that ! Anyone from the Newcastle area can have a look in the Grainger Market, Kettlewells's game dealer, and verify it ! But rabbits SELL around the bars for £2.50 Cheers. Quote Link to post
