Ideas needed

[Guest pip]

I have a railway embankment close to me that is alive with rabbits.Problem is i ve no rabbit dog or gun or ferret.

What is the best method of catching rabbits without the above?

[Rolfe 2]

Cage traps or Snares assuming you have permission on the land adjoining the railway embankment. BUT.......

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CATCH RABBITS USING EITHER OF THESE METHODS UNLESS YOU ARE COMPETENT AND CONFIDENT IN WHAT YOU ARE DOING...

 

Good Luck

Or fence wires where they are coming through onto the neighbouring fields. BUT you MUST have the permission of the landowner FIRST, and trespass on the railways is a criminal offence (unlike normal trespass).

Ive done embankments with live catch traps, had approx 40 traps laid 20ft apart, baited with horse carrot's, as said, if your on the tracks your need certification, but if your work can be done, keeping the opposite side of a cable run, then techniqualy you DONT need any certification, just permission

 

of course check traps daily, we did ok untill we moved the traps to an area near to a bridle path, where either kids or anti's saw them, and started stamping on the traps

Can any one explain in a bit more detail.The line is no longer in use and i have permission right up it.

Might seem a strange question but you have permission right up to the disused railway.Permission for what? You don't seem to have any rabbiting gear or knowledge. It's probably me being a bit thick.

I did nt say i did nt hunt i hunt fox on all the owners ground and i used to have ferrets and lurchers etc,now just terriers,I have no experience hunting rabbits with traps etc.See you where right though ,just being thick.

who needs to trap them ask someone who got ferrets nets lurchers etc someone would be glad of an invite and im sure the land owner would aslo be

Lads i ve quit for the season and most about here don t bother hunting over the summer but we still trap vermin,if i wanted to over the winter i could work away at the whole banking but i dig fox over the winter so no interest .Thats why i was looking some info on trapping rabbits.Where im from if the farmers let you hunt ,and most don t mind,then the lands open to anyone.

[Guest pip]

Just to add lads no call to get all paranoid im just looking advice on trapping rabits,even if i didn t have permission its hardly crime of the century

[Guest pip]

Still no further on ,if no ones willing to give me any advice can someone tell me where to buy rabbit traps?
