New Perm & 2 Bunny's With The R10

[big napper 3,620]

Dont worry mark il keep a good eye on it,

Sweet Jesus you boys don't half talk some shite sometimes! What's all this about taking it easy on them and telling the landowner porkies - the blokes just scored a new bit of ground and your 'advice' is NOT to make a good impression by visibly reducing numbers??!!

My humble advise would be to make a good first impression - Welly them and offer some to the landowner as a thank you (prepared of course). Naturally the conversation can then be steered to how a lot seem to be on the other side of the boundary..... who owns it.....

i know what you mean mate, if you dont get them the owner will get someone else to do it

[mark williams 7,561]

I hear both opinions here, my thoughts would be, (as the land owner),- do i want a "barren landscape" of all rabbits/ vermin, or do i want a " controlled" landscape of wild life ?

 

 

"Surely this is a no brainer" - " lifeless land" give over !

Nice naps. We all know Spring is on the way when the rabbits start turning up in hunting posts. Even if v'man freezes his for late winter posts

Lol @ mark - I don't think I advocated a barren landscape although in reality you're highly unlikely to be able to achieve this by yourself - the only way that is likely to happen with rabbits is if they get a dose of mixi or VHD. How do you expect to 'manage' the population of a species at the bottom of the food chain that's susceptible to two colony destroying diseases?

 

You only get one chance to make a first impression and putting your sporting interests ahead of the landowners won't help you.

Mac if I'd had the ready I'd have bought that very same gun.

It looks a beauty

 

Napper will hold onto this one a while I bet.

[big napper 3,620]

I know mac ive gone throu a good few in the last 2 years and theyv all been decent guns s200, 2x hw100's 2x r10 full length and a few falcons but i like this more than any of them its small, light realy smooth and big shot count

[big napper 3,620]

I think so DJ, i will keep hold of this for a good while. Cheers mate

as you know I bought a new super carbine a short while before you got yours and I also have gone through many guns that just didnt feel right, but my r10 is a keeper, its just perfect as ive said many times, mine is now mounted with a nikko sterling 4-16x50 gameking which is also a scope that wont be leaving this gun , its a perfect combination.

[big napper 3,620]

Thats exactley it viz, this just feels a lot better than the others, even better than the hw100 to me and i did like them, just like this more

Hi Matt,

I am " very able" to clear land of rabbits, by myself, if required but i do employ good wire as well as my air rifle in a situation like that.

 

 

[Yokel Matt 918]

I kind of agree with you here Mark - if you've got the time and inclination to seriously reduce / remove the population you'll have to bring a few more skills to the party than just shooting. Ferreting would be the top choice for me but there's something about snaring that i find very rewarding, as long a the badgers haven't got to them first. That said I still reckon you'll never get the last one without a dose of plague... Of course you could always take the credit for the job that mixi / VHD has done, I know I have in the past, but it's not quite as much fun as a bumper day with the rifle.

Discussion with the landowner always a good thing prior ive found.. see what they want

 

Not always.. but mostly what ive found is the ones that like a couple for the pot/or food for the

dogs now and again like a few leaving on.

 

 

Rats are a different story..

[steg 609]

Apologies BN..strayed off there.

 

Good going there with the shooting and the perm.
