Mitchell1982 35 Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Keep yer chin up n just keep knocking ive just got a couple of thousand acers and keeps growing as the guy trusts me more and introduced me to his neighbor's, and it turn out to be a farm I allways over looked a stones throw away from my house with only a couple of acres but when I eventually collard the farmer he had land all over you'll get somthing eventually ATB Quote Link to post
rabbitcatcher 1 287 Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Try sending emails out I googled farms in a certain area and the send emails to the ones with email addresses I've just started doing this and I've managed 16 acres which I was on yday with the ferrets and ended on 37 rabbits and that farmer spoke to the farm next door and got me another 50 acres, it doesn't work every time but if 1 in ten comes good it's worth doing Atb rc1 Quote Link to post
Skittles 3 Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Similar over here the farmers seem to be pulling in the reigns as far as people coming onto there land. If you can get one good reference its worth its weight in gold for around these parts farmers talk and just takes one to drop your name and your sorted. best of luck! like the googling farms bit i overlooked that nice Quote Link to post
rabbitcatcher 1 287 Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Just an update but I sent an email to a farm 2 weeks later I got a reply saying yes you can control the rabbits on my land, I've been up once and caught 37 since then through word of mouth I have gained 2 more farms witch has a lot of rabbits All I can say is don't give up Rc1 2 Quote Link to post
