IanB 0 Posted April 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Well I was out checking again today and I'm starting to put a dent in them, but I've snared a few extra spots were they were active as you can see by some of the end photos, lost about 10 to fox and badger, also the crows take some beating them to the rabbits... Farmers son had been round one area and lifted the rabbits and a hare out of the snares into the trees again... and the snares I had out yesterday proved productive hands haven't stopped tingling yet though... same again tommorrow hopefully, rabbit pie anyone???

IanB 0 Posted April 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 are you not doing anything about he foxes? No, not unless asked too or they need sorting... I don't like killing them when they have cubs... but its just one of them things, I don't mind a few lost rabbits this time of year.. Quote Link to post
Wanna be farmer 0 Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Nice one mate. I'm going to the local farmers house tommorow and i will ask him about shooting on his land plus snaring. I just have the nack of snaring. It comes easy to me but i suppose it's because my pap taught me. Quote Link to post

J Darcy 5,871 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Good going Ian, and a commendable attitude towards foxes too if i may be so bold..... Quote Link to post

ArchieHood 3,692 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 pleasure to read ian Quote Link to post
IanB 0 Posted April 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I'm no pro kev by a long shot .... Anyway what is classed as a pro??? Theres that many people calling themselves pro's these days its hard to sort the wheat from the chaff... people go out kill a hundred rabbits in a week or 50 moles and there suddenly instant experts and pro trappers... its quite amusing.. No I'm just a bog standard average vermin killer... Heres a few more from today, another 5 lost to fox though... I'll sort some before/after if you really want some... Quote Link to post
00taz11 39 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 i wish there was rabbits like that up on my permission Quote Link to post
ianrob 2 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Was out today checking a few snares myself and nobby placed on a couple of fields yesterday, lost a few to badgers, we only really done one side of a wood, I'll check them over the next couple of days to mop up and then move over to the other side of the wood... Well done Ian, and I see that you are troubled by badgers too. They're becoming a real menace on the ground I do. Quote Link to post
