Lamping Tonight...

[Gaz_1989 9,539]

I just wondered what the general thoughts were about people lamping rabbits "out of season" for ferret food and the pot?

 

I stopped lamping at the end of Feb and stopped ferreting in March but my Missus has asked if there are any rabbits in the freezer to do a stew with tomorrow and I've only got 3 in the freezer and I have got a litter of kits due in 2 weeks.

 

I wasn't going to go but it seems silly buying ferret food and meat when I've got 2 good lamping dogs and plenty of permission.

 

I'm hardly going to wipe out the population getting 3-4. Just wondered what people's views were.

 

Cheers

imo if you dont take none at all during the summer mixy will take them, i always have a couple of nights out in the off season to keep the hawks in food and the dogs ticking over

i would just do what you want, there is nothing wrong with feeding yourself and your pets or workers.. asking peoples opinion's on here could be a mistake as there are many that like to moan on if your not doing things there way..

Must be plenty of folks on here do it as pest control, playing fields etc.

A few easy rabbits to keep a pup ticking over until a harder winter is better then it sat in kennels?

I wasn't asking for approval. I stated that I was going lamping tonight. I care not if someone says I shouldn't. I was just asking for general opinions and how "against it" people are.
