Longshanx 833 Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 Had a mooch around the farm last night, not a bad night knocked another six over. Just as I was packing up Ben the farmer came driving down to meet me and took me to another bit of land he farm shares just down the road, approx 30+ acres. The rabbits have been destroying the rape and the lad the other farmer uses hasn’t been on for months. Needless to say Bens had enough so asked me to sort out the problem and told the other farmer that I’ll be getting rid of them and he was happy for me to do so. Hope this doesn’t cause conflict if the other lad turns up, don’t want to step on toes, but at the end of the day he’s not doing the job. Feel a bit sh!t for taking over someone’s permission though. I had a quick look on my way home and the field is jumping literally. 10 minutes 2 more down. It was getting on so left them for another night. I also got asked about rats but have never done ratting before. Can you lamp rats? Don’t need the extra expense of night vision at the moment. 2 Quote Link to post

If it was me and I couldn’t make it for a while I’d let the farmer know so he knew I wasn’t just giving up and had a valid reason. Might try my hand at a bit of ratting it’s all bonus points on the permission 2 Quote Link to post
