chimp 299 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 i have aquired 3100 acres today for pest control and the land owner asked me how much i would charge for each head of rabbit taken , he has a serious rabbit problem and has little faith in the rodinator. how much would be realistic price per head ? ( oh i will keep all the rabbits anyway for the game dealer) Quote Link to post
masmiffy 82 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Charge enough to cover 1 x 4WD 1 x Quad 2 x FAC applications Quote Link to post
redeye jedi 39 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 if i was you i wouldnt charge him, your getting the money from the dealer anyway. i think a returned favour might be of more value??? Quote Link to post

( oh i will keep all the rabbits anyway for the game dealer) Dont charge him mate, tell him you will help him out in return for the sole hunting rights on the land, if you charge him money it wont be long before he finds out there are plenty of lads out there willing to help him out for free or even pay him!!

chimp 299 Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 masmiffy did say the same to me earlier , i was just quite surprised he wanted to pay me. Quote Link to post
stubby 175 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Ive had a couple of landowners ask "how much" I always tell them to cover my traveling costs,only if they are happy with the catch rate, and to "give me a drink" at christmas, so far its got me a huge amount of extra permissions on neighbouring farms, as landowners will then go out of their way to repay you Quote Link to post

chimp 299 Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) tomo , im sure this guy wanted as many rabbits as he could get and im sure you dont have the monolopy as a matter of fact the landowner said he does have someone who would pick up large numbers but i thought i would see if i could source my own first. i think i wont charge the land owner as it is then not considered a business and therefore the public liabilty will still stand on the standard basc / sacs etc.. i realise there is isnt a huge amount to be made but would be slightly more then beer tokens Edited January 14, 2009 by chimp Quote Link to post
whippeter69 88 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 I wouldn't charge the landowner anything, hes doing me a favor by giving me permission and im doing him a favor by getting rid of what needs getting rid of, basically you scratch my back il scratch yours kinda thing.

Halfinch 51 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Sounds like a big job there Chimp, i'd say it's too much for one man. Quote Link to post
Brimmer 220 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 I'd say the same, but then you have to think about whats going to happen in a 8 weeks time when you have nothing but milky does you cannot shift, You'll just be killing a lot of rabbits for nothing. (You'll still shift the bucks.) If it was the start of the season maybee, but with only a month or so in reality till they are getting quite a few young uns in them. Quote Link to post
chimp 299 Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 i wont be killing rabbits for nothing will i ? i will be killing rabbits because it has to be done and i enjoy it as a sport aswell . if rabbits are going for dog feed say it doesnt matter if they are milky or not. either way i have a large amount of permission and will hopefully hold good days and nights sport and halfinch , you are welcome anytime Quote Link to post
