Rabbits all year around?

[mad al 146]

Right guys, do you back off at all or do hunt all year? For me if I see a rabbit............it's history and another meal for the family all year around

 

Some folk are reluctant to hunt them at the end of the year up until April time due to the young but the way I see it is that in the case of vermin control, if you shoot a pregnant doe, well it's a job well done

Farmer near us has diversified and created a mountain board (skate board but bigger wheels) hill and he wants us to clear em all the time as they make a mess with holes and its dangerous for kids going down the grass hill riddled with holes. So all year round.

 

Other areas though its good to save some for September

were i used to live, we shot rabbits all year round, because there was a grave yard next to fields, which was heaving with rabbits, so much so that they started digging around in the graveyard, and making a mess of peoples plots, and as you can imagine its not the best thing having rabbit holes all around a grave yard, so we was asked by the local counciller, well at least i think that was who he wa, to shoot them all.

On my land i ferret oct-feb,march-mid april i have to have a break due to the lambing on the land as the landowner is busy with them.Rest of the year is taken up with the gun,early morning shooting & lamping,weather permitting of course... If a landowner asked me to carry out pest control all year round it,s no problemo

Pest control permission, all year round. Sporting permission, as and when neccessary. Cheers, D.

We shoot all year round. At the moment we are trying to secure more permissions so we can limit the amount of time we spend at a particular spot and always have somewhere to shoot. We have hit some places hard over the years and therefore lowered the rabbit population ten fold, good news for the farmers but not so much for us.

Sometimes spend more time walking and keeping fit than actually shooting Sometimes dont see any rabbits at all.
