glass22 0 Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Hi. So far I'm shooting and snaring. I cannot get to the rabbits warrens because they're in thick hawthorn. Is there anything else I can do to get the population down? Quote Link to post

Matt 160 Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 listen to runforyourlife use longnets, not rubbish fenntraps and cage traps waste of time mate... Not quite sure why some people here think that traps aren't effective; as Netter says, many thousands of rabbits have been taken with traps....... but then, what the feck do I know????

IanB 0 Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Bodygrips are good aint they chalkie, fook lurchers there great fun, but no way a serious method of removing numbers... Shooting, Traps and Snares, thats the way, and night vision on specific spots is also deadly... Quote Link to post
