langouroux 14 Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Hi guys thanks for all your help on my last topic... one more thing..... for this pest control job, i am planning to start shooting early morn / eve then move on to lamping, then ferret in winter as one of the pasts suggested but i dont have a 4x4 vehicle for lamping work ( i snapped the chassis of my isuzu trooper!) what sort of average numbers do you guys generally get lamping on foot? or if there is anyone in cornwall that has a 4x4 that fancies a few nights out then let me know. cheers, langouroux.

langouroux 14 Posted July 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 its near a golf course i believe, should hopefully be going to see the place tomorrow. Quote Link to post
quicksilver 0 Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 when i shot on a golf course years ago the owner loaned us one of their tractors, the tractor had the right tyres to avoid damage to the fairways and the rabbits where used to seeing it coming and going and didnt get too bothered. might be worth asking if you get permission on the nearby golf course. keith Quote Link to post

Me thinks its time to stop talking and start shooting, at £1 a bunny plus a bonus and that many, I suggest you get on with it. I can also get between £1 & £3 per bunny from Game dealers round here so if you have any problems give me a shout and I'll come and do the job for you..!!! Quote Link to post
