agrifabs 0 Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 hello all, i have 10 acres of land, i have an acre of steep land and i am planning to plant trees so i'll have bit of a woodland, around my land i have only ever seen one or two rabbits in years, also i very rarely see any foxes, there are about 7 buzzards who roam the area, what i need to know is if i was to dig some warrens in my new woodland, would i be allowed to set live traps where i know there are rabbits and introduce them onto my land? regards chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Releasing rabbits would not comply with this . Edited September 23, 2008 by comanche Quote Link to post Share on other sites

agrifabs 0 Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 well i dont think they would really get out of hand because of all the buzzards we've got hanging around, we're losing 3 chickens a week to buzzards, last night i was standing by my pheasant pens when i saw a buzzard swoop down and try and take another chicken!, very good sight every pheasant and chicken in sight legged it into nearby brambles, it all happened about 20 ft away from where i was standing! i think the only thing i will have to worry about is other 'poachers' because there are hardly any rabbits around my area, if they get out of hand i could shoot them myself!
