Well I'm off now to hunt in the local M&S for a prepared turkey breast
for Christmas Day and a likely to be rejected Christmas present for my
wife.
As ever I've enjoyed all that UKTC has provided over the past year and a
Happy Christmas and a peaceful New Year to you all.
John

When live trapping there is a legal obligation to visit the traps once
every 24 hours, the Scottish Gamekeepers Association recommend every 12
hours as being more appropriate.
It is worth remembering when live trapping thay you generally have to
kill the rabbits with your bare hands which is a wee bit harder than
detaching yourself from the kill with a gun, although I think it is more
dignified.
Enjoy the break.

No sites but there are plans (I believe)in Animal Traps and Trapping by
James Bateman.
In point of fact All traps need a lot of checking (I believe now every
12
hours)
To be fair you'd need to check these regularly in any case as they get
full!
All the best. I will now be off forum till the new year so to all
A happy festive season

Basically a hole dug in the ground beneath the fenceline with a wooden
box dropped in the hole about 2foot deep. On top of this is a wooden
'treadplate' pivoted so that when brer rabbit comes along his weight
tips the plate, he falls into the box and the counterbalance tips the
plate back into set position. Too deep for rabbit to jump out of and is
stopped by the wooden plate anyway.
That'd need constant monitoring wouldn't it? Any links to a site that
has pics?
Thanks

have you
thought about installing some permanent drop boxes in the fencelines
as
these have the triple benefits of producing prime rabbits, being very
efficient and are exceedingly cheap to make. With a few of these in
the
right locations you should't have a rabbit problem.
Never even heard of them, what are they? (sound good)
