Rabbit Problem

[Lukey12 126]

I have been asked to sort a rabbit problem on someone's large garden which backs onto some huge land... can't ferret it as if I would.need to dig they don't want there garden dug up... can't run the dog on it.... I don't shoot.... so what other options would you guys go for? I don't want to turn the work down as it could lead to some great permission thanks

Depends were they,r feeding but a drop net might do the job.

[Hydropotesinermis 724]

Drop boxes need to be positioned in a fence line to work.

 

When set on pre bait they allow passage through the fence.

 

Live catch cage traps could work, may not be so effective this time of year as there is lots of natural food about.

 

If you can snare I would do that. If you have never done it before get an old boy to show you how. It's an art.

Thanks for replies lads have to have a think onit I might just ferret it as Katchum says

[Lukey12 126]

Go in stealth mode, quiet as possibl,drop all your nets and go have brekkie and a brew, creep back on to it and drop ferrets in mate, make sure they well fed and got collars on, even if can't dig you will always know where they are and it will make you look a lot more professional than sat waiting wondering where they are if you geta lie up and if you got long nets then use them as last thing you want is owner standing watching and bunnies gettin past purse. Nets to get away haha

thanks for advice mate will let you know how I get on probably be weekend when I get around to it

Sounds like a good plan that.
