paulus 26 Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 I can sympathies with some of your comments. "BUT" i shoot over 3000 acres throughout the year for this company, all the Hares we have taken have all been shot with the shotgun, while out shooting Pigeons. This morning we were out after Rabbits but none showed, The company are adding more land every year, they supply all the major Supermarkets with Veg, and also grow arable crops. You have to understand that 3 hares will eat the equivalent amount as one sheep, imagine having 12 Hares on the land, and may i say there are lots more than that, and then sticking 4 sheep on their, what do you think would happen in a week. They have already lost a quarter of the field and had to replant earlier Solly to Rabbits,Pigeons, and the Hares.The company are on penalties if they don't produce there quoter's, so now i hope you can understand my position: Dave relocation is as easy as eradication 1 Quote Link to post

hotshot2me 31 Posted July 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 Paulus I'm sure they would be queuing up but thats not my decision, the farm manager knows the crack he's been into country sports for years, I know they have found guys with Lurcher's on there land and prosecuted them, as not all are mindful of the crops: Dave Quote Link to post

whippet 99 2,613 Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 its quite simple , put nets across runs , gate ways or across the whole field , double the ones on runs and then beat through the crop, and put the live whabbits into a box, put the box into a vehicle and take them to a far away location where you know theres other hares , then release them................ there is legalities but i would sooner do this than kill em.............. 1 Quote Link to post
