Alex Arrigone 24 Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 hey, me and my friend have permission on land that is a hotspot for rabbits and other vermin. we have been hunting there with great sucess over the past month and have just been given permission for building a hunting platform. this all started with a picture on a magazene and we developed it into something far better. its about 17 foot up a tree and has only cost approx £120 to make. as of yet we have been hunting in static locations and stalking but we have noticed a pattern in rabbit activity in the area we have built it. the view from the top of it is amazing. we have great arks of fire on all locations that rabbits frequent! we have been building it for the last 4 hours and have finally finished the main frame. its steady however not yet safe so there's at least another day of work to sort it out. hopefully, when finished it'll give us a upper hand in the war against the rabbits! have a look!!!

19powell90 89 Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 heres the subject to a little walk around the woods after a day doing the platform 1 Quote Link to post
andyfr1968 772 Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 How cool's that??!! Platforms are a really great tool in a good spot. We used to have one in a large wood many years back but it kept getting vandalised and we had to give up on it in the end.... I hope it serves you well, lads. Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post

J Darcy 5,871 Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Another little tip... Hang a couple of bird feeders up near by, you will lure squirrels and jays in too. You know what those Squirrels are like, they cannot resist a bag of nuts. Quote Link to post
