bumper bunnies

dicky82 · 17-01-2011 10:07pm #1

one of the farmers that has let me ferret on his land has asked me to tackle two fields in paticular (didn't show me these in the first place). anyway these two fields are walking with rabbits, anytime i have ferreted before ive only taken small bags, enough for my table and enough for a few friends. . .
if im to hit these sets hard im expecting big bags from them. but id be hard pushed to shift the bunnies afterwards. the farmer is not happy to bring lots of others in to clear them up too and he has no use for the meat himself.
is there anywhere that takes wild rabbit? my local butcher says he cant take them and i dont want to waste them either. so anyone any ideas?

I usually drop mine into the local pub always loads of old lads in there mad for them. Dropped in 12 one night one man left in sack of spuds few carrotts and a head of cabage in return.

i think thats what were saying aswell

thats grand fairplay to them even if they didnt give you anythin once they werent been wasted is the main thing

i could've easy taken twenty plus rabbits in the past but i wouldn't have the space in the freezer and if its not going to be eaten then it souldn't be taken. . . imo. if there's anyone on here who might want a couple sure let me know.
