Rabbit numbers

[SheepChaser 8,083]

You wait for the end of season - we are ferreting flat out, purse nets, long nets etc and just can’t get round all of the permo and catch all of the rabbits we have to go at. But woe betide anyone who poaches a few...... we shall tell the keepers and burn out their van ........ type posts  

You know I’m right

Not gainsaying you mate but would the contractors at least hose off their gear between jobs?

How did you get on regarding the permission 

[Elchapo 3,166]

Couple places I've been to are holding acouple rabbits but nothing much , I recon by time season comes mixy and natural predation would of wiped most of them out, unless I'm willing to travel 2 or 3 hours then am not getting any decent numbers this season same as the last 4 season befor it , rabbit number in most the places are low to none existing, won't be long till I'm packing in and getting an allotment lol

Farmer said no, not because he didnt want to, but there is a syndicate who pay to shoot on his land and apparently they are going to sort it. I did get the horse field on the opposite side, which i think is part of same warrens

They probably don't want 2 sort it but said that as they felt obliged, most syndicate members just want 2 pay the money and turn up on shoot days ,find out who the are bet they let u if u offer 2 beat 

Failing that it gets dark

That syndicate are doing a shit job the picture speaks for itself that field should be easy to control, keep on at him I’m sure he will get pissed off losing that amount of  crop good luck

To be frank, I'd be more worried about RCD, it keeps on killing for many years. You start to notice that a few rabbits are getting about, then they just disappear overnight it would seem. The virus can wait, for up to a year, down a rabbit warren, for a host to return. It can be carried on footwear & clothing only adds to how effective its spread can be. The silent death.
