To go back to the origional post...


Didn't ever really stop...

Just trying to keep the numbers down. Not very successfully.

Heartless maybe..

No offence intended.

At least it's a bit more selective than the ferrets or gassing!

I try not to look too closely at what comes out when I paunch!

Also, most of what I have been going for were the one's with Myxy, as the landowner is not overly happy with sub FAC air on rabbits....I'm trying to re-educate him.

Hoping to join another large permission this weekend, with an exish Downsizer.

Good luck with everything, let us know if It's a girl we have lots of clothes, and you never know we may still be here the way things are going

Just been on a call to a lodge, and always takes the gun this time of year.

Just been shot and paunched you can't get fresher than that.

I'll be lamping with a shotgun.

Not wanting to get too many then??

I`ve been lamping but only seriously in the last week or 2 and there has been no sign of lactating/foetuses in the does and there are V V few tiddlers.

Hope to get to grips with the burrows soon but will have to cut the growth back and get the freezer and the smoker sorted.

Best of luck with the lamping Mr B

Where I live there aren't dozens of rabbits, there are thousands .
I can see 50 to 60 rabbits in a four acre field in the daytime !
Shotguns do frighten rabbits off but if you have hundreds of acres to go on , who cares ?
