secretagentmole 1,701 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 (edited) Went to look at the new permission today, the farmer drove me to the two fields he farms (he has more land but it is leased out to other farms, he is close to retiring). Very evident rabbit attacks on the wheat. Both fairly open, but the second has an absolutely massive bunny housing complex. On the approach track there is a bank about 3 feet high, the rabbits have perforated this bank like a piece of Emmental, it looks like a Tetley teabag! On the top of the field is an access track which is subsiding into warrens! So will go down to look at the bunny block of flats this afternoon! Suitably equipped of course! Will also look over the first field to find out where the bunnies are coming from! He was almost begging me to start shooting, well we will see if we can oblige!

secretagentmole 1,701 Posted March 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 The farmer is really friend, I think he is very glad to have someone who wants to put a dent in the bunny population! How many rabbits does it take to put a visible dent in wheat on a 1200 square foot field??? Quote Link to post

secretagentmole 1,701 Posted March 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 (edited) I know, I am there to help this farmer! Just notified the police so should anybody spot us from the road a couple of hundred feet away, I do not wind up looking down the barrel of a Heckler and Kockh rifle! Edited, forgot to put us instead of me (I will never hear the end of that one). Edited March 9, 2011 by secretagentmole Quote Link to post

cmuzzy 6 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Well done Mole hope you get some good sport by the sound of it you will be doing . Quote Link to post
garfield 23 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 best bet is to have a trip out there without the rifle for starters and just observe where they are feeding,coming from,running to if they get spooked,how much public activity there is (last thing you want is to have to argue the toss with someone who walks their dog there everyday) take a pad and note down the times when they are most active and where you can ambush them from and then get blasting the little buggers Quote Link to post
