Well, there are plenty of rabbits in the countryside. So therefore, more land does equal more rabbits!

 

You really are a ***.

And i still think you are a troll,as most of your posts seem to be "is that legal" or asking what people do with the things they shoot or yada yada yada.

 

More land does not = more rabbits.The land has to be suitable for them or they wont thrive.But you would know that cos your dads a vet(which seems to be your answer to everything)

Hmmm :yes: I can't find any of my 'is that legal posts' or my 'what do you do with the things you shoot' posts.

Anyway, if you have more land, you have the potential for more rabbits, okay? You would have more rabbits if you owned 5000 acres than if you owned 1 acres :good:

 

Now, read above a few times to make sure you understand fully.

 

You're obviously a bit backward so I won't bother trying to explain further.

not in the slightest, 5000 acres with no rabbits has no rabbits. But an acre with rabbits has rabbits. Read it slowly and if you don't understand try reading it again.

 

I know an acre with thousands of them yet vice versa I know another entire farm with very few at all.

MY DAD'S A VET,thanks for the PM..some pretty big words in there ! Is your mother an english teacher ? Your wrong though,most people on here make their own minds up about who is a troll and some will think you are, even if you are able To "CAN, WHATEVER I COME UP WITH" Yes you do have an answer for everything,but unfortunately your answers are mostly wrong !

Blackbart, we own and farm more croppable acres than that. We're also not growing just combinable crops: if you think emerging wheat is appealing to a rabbit, think how enticing a lettuce looks. I could eradicate every rabbit within our boundaries, but as you know, rabbits do not respect boundaries. A breeding pair of rabbits also produces 95 offspring per year, according to Farmers Weekly. And with Natural England's decision not to uphold the right to claim against neighbouring landowners for rabbit damage stemming from outside your boundary, we have to be increasingly zealous. We are also struggling to remedy the damage following the laying of a pipeline across the land, during which the utility firm were very late reinstating the rabbit fencing. The result.

 

I doubt that my explanation, talking as both the bloke pulling the trigger and the farmer, will be sufficient to allay sniperfox36's concerns.

blar blar blar :good:

For what it's worth to anyone - My best night was 119 rabbits on one 300 acre farm, over half of them in one forty acre field containing old mine workings. The same farm produced some 93 during the same two weeks in Cornwall - but I can't recall which night came first without looking back in my posts.

 

Unless someone has tried using a vehicle - which bunnies dont consider a predator unless someone gets out to pick up then they'll mostly sit there and wonder whats happening. That was with the HMR too - so the noise did not scare them off. That particular farmer reimbursed us with a brick of HMR last year - and will probably do so this year too - our second year there.

.22lr for me too..... VERY versatile round as you can get many differing loads for it. Go for the Bolt action as well..... Rugers whilst being immense fun and great for ammo sales will take a bit of time and effort (and maybe a new barrel) to shoot anywhere good enough t to be your first hunting tool.

 

.17HMR whilst being very good at long range muzzle cracking rabbit popping is not as versatile as .22lr.
