bobcullen79 1,495 Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Out with Landmark rabbit control the past few days on a place which can only be described as chalk swiss cheese, the warrens are massive, deep chalk jobs. And apart from Friday? The weather has been horizontal, really bad for the best part of it. But, we were there to get a job done, or at least take a small bite out of the corner.. Wednesday saw us remove 40 rabbits, Thursday was hard, lots of digs to nests in the hedgerows and small banks, but deep digs. Removing 38 rabbits. Friday was favourable, weatherwise and bag tally with 47 being removed. And today on a small part of the big banks we hit around the 120 mark. Downside - we`re not allowed to keep the rabbits, which is shit, but its part of the contract. 5 Quote Link to post

Sirius 1,391 Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Good few rabbits, if the rabbits are there and there's a few pairs of hands you can really make a big old dent. The weathers been shite last few days on the south coast alright! Quote Link to post

Nick3439 83 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 If you're having to 'hand back' the rabbits I take it you aren't expected to paunch them etc? Quote Link to post

socks 32,253 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Fellas its a paid job it's what I do for a living ... The deal was that the rabbits go back to the estate ... We keep enough to feed the ferrets ... Everybody on the job knew the score before we started so its no big deal ............ 2 Quote Link to post
