In April this year longdogrunner and me went past RAF Boulmer and saw so many rabbits our eyes nearly popped out!!! I got the name and address of the right person to write to and Im still waiting! I was a combat medical technician for 6 years and it seems it means nothing - typical British Army eh! Quote Link to post
kurgan 5 Posted September 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 cheers for the replys lads i would love to get permissoin for my front lawn at the moment theres a bloody deer in there most mornings think the army will let me have that one Quote Link to post
The one 8,595 Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 It's worth the effort and it pays off to keep hassling these people to get permission as the rabbits are used to seeing folk about and you can make good bags and if you do a good job once your in the permission's usually your's for as long as you want it Quote Link to post
