  1. i was walking through my shoot today and found some old rabbit snares. I was wondering if they are illegal they was not set they were just under some old branches what i had to move

     

    It is still legal to use snares for vermin, although nowadays they are viewed more as a method of holding rabbits,for example, rather than a way of killing them.

    The newer snares have a stop device on them which helps to prevent accidental tethering by the leg,of deer , foxes etc. However discretion should always be used when setting them.

  2. very true mate, the majority of them i took for my ferrets, to be honest i dont think we'll be seeing him for a while, apparatnyl he has been doing this a lot in the local area and the land owners are getting quite irritated with piles of stinking dead rabbits everywhere :hmm:

     

    It's not a matter of sharing them with him. It's about conserving your sport and managing the rabbit population. If everyone did what he does, we would have no sport. If it was happening on my permission i'd have to deter him from his recklesss action, and make sure everybody I know with local permissions was aware of his activities , and recommend they deter him as well !!!
