stubby 175 Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 so lets get this straight, THEY have a rabbit problem, yet are dictating to you, how you must get rid of them to be honest, if it were me, I'd tell them to stick it, the college and another place I ferret, both asked first and stipulated ferreting only, on inspection of both permissions, I pointed out the cons on ferreting only, and subsequently got permission on one to snare,shoot(air rifle), live catch and ferret, and on the college to ferret and live catch, with the wording on the permission letter to be, to eradicate the area of rabbits in a humane manner at the end of the day, its their problem to control the rabbits, they in turn, like all others want it done free of charge, therefore if your up to carrying on with this permission, you need to stand upto them, and start stating some facts, reguarding rabbit control, and the fact that you are doing it free of charge, I even got one permission, that I already had shooting,snare and ferreting permission, to buy 10 live catch traps, to use inbetween my visits, showing them how to bait and humanely dispatch a rabbit, Quote Link to post

will.f11 24 Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 if you feel the sport is good enough for trying then I would use stubbys method. write some letters and make some phone calls and make life difficult for the old bag Quote Link to post
richie 1 Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 i can see this post going on for ever with f**k all getting done ! failing stubbies advice with regards to the pest acts been used & if you cant get onto the side where the main problem is coming from: either, * live cage trap. get them to pay for them & say you will check them on a daily basis. * use mk6 fenns & place them correctly flush with the ground level in "open meshed" cubby tunnels, get you dad to set them. * advise the allotment owners / keepers to put a few quid together & place up rabbit proof fencing & install a few drop boxes which will last for years to come. * or tell them that its not the right job for you as they have put up too many restrictions & hurdles in your way.
