A Sapper is someone who quenches your thirst if you require a drink in the desert. If you need to cross the fastest river he will bridge that gap, and if the path ahead is too much to bear, the Sapper will guide you through holding your hand. UBIQUE is his motto - for he and his family have been everywhere.

Fingers crossed for you mate. I had a shoot from a turf grower saying he was over run, big holes everywhere and his turf was knackered.. I've been shooting his land for the last 6 months and I've seen about 4 of the little buggers !!!

i know what you mean mate, ive been around for long enough to know when the '' there were tons of them'' gets used and actually there are very few at all.
this guy really does have a problem though. its not just his fields and land that are the problem its the other farms in the area aswell. soon as he thinks he has the problem under control the other farms ''new'' arrivals soon put a show in what is new rabbit free turf for them !! so you see its an on going problem ......not that im complaining you see !! plus a neighbor doesnt mind them so she doesnt help the situatiuon either by giving them safe refuge in her very large garden !! its simply going tobe a case of get thew numbers down and keep on top of them. {i can feel an invite for a few lucky gunners out there in the pipeline
just have to get stuck in to them and see what happens. if you see a sale for 100 freshly killed rabbits in the sales section then you know its going well !!!!![]()

Nice one Sammy,
I sometimes get the OK to shoot the farms up near Crossens, especially when they start planting lettuce in the summer. The land owners up there are quite OK once they know you.
As I said before, come and say hello at the Club some time - as and when. I'm not there this week but don't let that stop you.

Local kids great.....
My own kids Bl@@dy Murder.
Know the feeling with the busy weekends, what we need is 30 hour days and 8 day weeks. We could have a "Blairsday" tucked in between Saturday and Sunday. If I were prime minister and all that.....
The kids are shooting at Byley on Sunday - Lovely place and a nice crowd - weather forecast great, roll on the weekend.
