I love animals as much as the next person... But the amount of rabbits around are getting beyond a joke. I have an air rifle.... But they scarper more often than not. Tried snares, but I think they could be a tad cruel and have proved ineffective. Any other solutions?

Get someone else in with an air rifle? There are people desperate for permissions

Ferreting? Purse nets? Lurchers? Shotgun?

Get a Chihuahua    between Cookie the Chihuahua and the cats we have very few rabbits left
They do the work  then the wolfhounds steal and eat them

the problem is , they breed so fast.... do you know anyone you can trust to help you shoot them,
even when you use a air rifle , they will run off...but do come back after about 10 minutes....

I don't like snares, personally ...i would prefer the quick method

I bought one of these.... it increased my chances ten fold  no good for dinner and dances though

Think I will give one of those a miss  The neighbours think I am mad now but if they see me on one of them they will be calling the men with the straight Jackets

Had a bad experience with people offering to come and shoot. Gave one chap permission. Then some months ,after see a random bloke with a gun clambering over my fence ... Thought head carte Blanche to come and go as he pleased... Which wasn't the case.

Have you got a better picture ... we can't see you 

[john and helen]

`here is the result though

[MAK]

yep - the wild ones that visit my meat rabbits every night has finally induced our large doe to leave her 12 kittens by leaping up about 4 feet onto the roof of their hutch, over the fence into the larger duck enclosure then under a fence to be with the wild rabbits. fed up of them as I had to put down 3 strands of electric fence around a large veg patch and keep them way from our buck by making a second fence. Too much work for some scrwaney little buggers.

U need a ferreter to visit with his nets

Thanks for that John. I hope I don't have nightmares tonight.  Good size rabbit you got though.

My ex used to shoot rabbits on a friend's smallholding as they were over-run. when I say 'shoot rabbits' I should have sais shoot AT rabbits. One day we were visiting and as we walked down their lane between two fields, he stopped us as he could see a rabbit in the first of their fields. He loaded his air rifle, crept forward, aimed and fired at about a 20 foot range. Nothing. He loaded and fired again. Still nothing. He was puzzled as he was sure he must have hit it but it didn't even jump a bit. All the others in the field had gone by now. In the end, he climbed over the gate and went up to it, bent down and found






it was a cowpat.
