hch4971 9 Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Hi, I just wanted to introduce myself really. I am from Leeds and joined the forum because the land we farm for hay production has a huge rabbit problem. We did have someone using it for ferreting on an informal basis but he appears to have stopped as the problem is increasing again. I thought there may be people on here who would appreciate permission as I would prefer them to be disposed of this way rather than gassing etc. We are horse people and very much in favour of more natural and 'age old' methods of control rather than the more modern. We have a mastiff who is the most amazing and fastest ratter I have ever seen and a JRT who covers her eyes when she spots a rat. 1 Quote Link to post

The one 8,571 Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 The folks maybe stopped ferreting as it's the wrong season for it mate ?. A job like this though your maybe better with somebody with more than one string to there bow somebody who will snare or lamp them during the summer when there doing the damage to the grass before you cut it for hay Quote Link to post
hch4971 9 Posted May 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Thanks, for reply (and thanks for moving moderator). I didn't realise that there was a season for rabbits and am now kicking myself that I didn't find this site sooner after being overwhelmed with replies, I didn't know that permission for this was in such short supply and we have suffered for years, the land is inundated with the little 'terrors'! I think judging by the number of rabbits around it has been a while since the other guy came and I'm not even sure what he used as it was just some guy that asked my husband if it was ok to go on. I did put another post on the offer I originally posted that there are two fields that back onto each other with a strip of woodland between so enough to go around anyway I think. 2 Quote Link to post
