jigsaw 11,899 Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 I was talking to my mate kieran last night and he was asked to deal with a rabbit problem on a country town pitch and putt club.We drove to take a look and damn,theyre getting rightly hammered from the rabbits.We did a quick walk about and accertained where the burrows might be.Unfortunately they seem to be positioned on a cliff face,only 20+feet high but not an easy place to work from. above is kieran checking out the dammaged green,unbelievable damage done. another green destroyed.the club cant hold its members due to the rabbits activity. and another and another the holes are about 4-6 inches deep. even TAZ cant believe it. this is where I had to work from,a nice drop down We had a pair from this,if the ferret lodges then its not going to be easy to extract it from here. then we did a nearby rubbish tip we were told holding a nice few rabbits. extracting from the net,in total we had 6 adult rabbits. 3 hrs looking about,we had to leave as there were a few people about walking.I think a lamp and 22 rimmy will be a better option.

jigsaw 11,899 Posted February 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 its going to be a hard one to sort i reckon but we'll give it a go for a few weeks and see what happens.i wouldnt think theres loads of rabbits there but enough to chop up the greens easy. Quote Link to post
