I used to use a lined ferret u tie a knot at one foot apart down line count knots as it passes through Ur hand then pace it out to knot count then dig down to ferret never used locators as couldn't afford one 

Yes couldn’t see my self how that would work could take you a entire day just to dig on single rabbit and by the time you was to dig to it be nothing left of it

Has anyone ever repopulated an area with rabbits? As in got live rabbits and released to get an established population?

 

Got some lovely land near me at least 61 acres perfect grazing fields and woodland cover and sandy soil hillsides but no rabbits. 

( There was rabbits back in the 80s until area they where was cleared however theres huge stretches without. Currently has foxes , badges , voles , mice etc )

100% it will work done it myself over the past 15 years works well as long as you give them 2/3 years before you hit the land

Apart from air rifle sub 12 lbs and regarding feather , it’s defo not advisable to shoot into trees or bushes at any time and them make sure of what’s behind them

I know that mate tbh there hardly in trees on the land I go always out in the open but you just can’t get near them with a air rifle

Ok thanks mate I will just apply for it and try and get in touch with someone who has a fac using rifles so they can guide me it also asks for the gun type and Cal but I have no idea what I will require for bunny and feather cheers mate

"what’s the distance public need to be away for shooting"

Don't think you can shoot the public at any distance lol.

Hmmm. They will check it out and be in touch with you. You can inquire how the application is going and whether or not you need to fit a cabinet. 

There must be a minimum distance the public have access to a lot of my land has a public footpath somewhere or other

It will need to be in place when they pay you a visit.

There is only a couple of reasons you could be turned down. The golf course is in the middle of a housing estate or you've got certain convictions.  If non of the above apply get the cabinet fitted

It’s a rail way one side the motorway they other and then houses around what’s the distance public need to be away for shooting and I might just get one anyway for the air rifles tbh but just want to try and get it all right first time around thanks mate 

[Advice / feedback]

Alright guys am just about to try and apply for my fac for a rimfire to shoot mainly rabbits but at the same time would be feather aswell am currently working on 2 golf courses and as you know isn’t easy to get near them so trying to apply for a fac to make life easier if I apply for a fac do I need to have the gun cabinet at the time of doing the application or can you get it after it’s processing thanks any advice is welcome   

[Rats! Help]

I do a lot of pest control and quite a bit of it is in lofts you will need to find a lad near by that has a good terrier to find there tracks and find we’re they are coming from personally I would set traps and also get some of the Mummifying poison from a fiend but as a last resort the Mail issue is finding we’re they are coming from using normal standard poison is a no no and leaving a ferret in the attic wouldn’t stop anything you would just be making more of a issue for yourself if I didn’t live so far away I would of helped you out and I don’t drive
