David.evans 5,323 Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Just wondered, if you lads stop shooting rabbits in the breeding season and if so what month , as i ve seen a few posts where there have been young, in shot rabbits already but then i guess it depends on your perm and the requirements of the land owner Dave 1 Quote Link to post
Bunnyblatter 1,012 Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 That's very true mate. If land owner wants them gone the. It a year round effort If its just management then I just don't go as often. Quote Link to post
John Stott 202 Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 All year for me on my spots. I don't mind shooting the youngsters. If its a permission thats feeding you mind thats different, good stewardship to give it a break. Trouble is with these mild winters of late the breeding season has got longer. Same with the rats, none stop and hard to keep the numbers down. I have even baited this year on some farms as it is so bad. Might even buy a lamping kit soon, I am sixty now and my mam said I can stay out two nights a week. 4 Quote Link to post

walshie 2,804 Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 If you're only shooting them for sport, it's a fine line to tread to show the landowner you're doing something about his rabbit problem and saving yourself some for later this year/next year. Quote Link to post

The one 8,585 Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 We shoot them all year round there vermin and I need them to feed the ferrets etc ,I know what the answer would be if I finished ferreting, shooting rabbits in April and tell the landowner see you in October . See those guys that are always chapping on his door they would be getting the shooting Quote Link to post
