Alright folks
Loking for a bit of advice, a mate was at me to give him a hand shooting rabbits on a couple of areas of newly planted woods (trees not in yet). I've not seen it yet but it has jist been newly fenced and rabbit netted. The trees going in are mainly Norway and larch with a few hardwoods so fairly high up on a rabbits menu
My first bit off advice to him was to stick in some drop boxes, but i dinae think the landowner is too keen on putting rabbit runs throu his new fence. It tends to be a rabbity area and he thinks it would jist let more rabbits into the plantations.
Would it be possible to fence/drop box areas inside the plantion and bait them to attract the rabbits that are already in to thoose areas. And if so wot would be the best bait, althou i appreciate probably to late in year now and to much natural food about.
Cheers in advance for any advice/ideas
