Are land owners keen to let people demolish rabbits other times of the year and if so how do you get in contact with them?

The shoot is organised via the Alexandra Lions Club, farmers put their farms into the pool, and Dave from Lions ballots teams into those farms. Number of farms available = number of teams can shoot. You'll need to be part of a team applying though.

If you're looking for places to shoot, door knocking and hard work gets you places, however a lot of farms down that way use professional shooters and/or poison, so the chances of being able to rock on up and have a go are pretty slim. Look at it from the farmers' perspective - would you let someone you don't know walk around your house taking potshots with firearms ?
