Team acceptance is usually only a couple of weeks out by memory, the farm ballot happens on the day at the park, you pick up documentation/map/etc and away you go. If you've got a 4wd a enclosed trailer is recommended to carry the rabbits, but having only 1 vehicle will limit you to just shooting at one location at a time. If you can add more vehicles in the team, or quad bikes, you'll have a lot more fun and have a higher success rate.
The idea is to have funbut always remember to put yourself in the farmers shoes. They have a plague of rabbits but don't want damage done to their farm with fences, driving all over the place, etc. Some numpty last year hit a restrainer wire on a fence and took out a decent length fence line. Another chap slipped over and shot himself, the year before a vehicle drove off a small embankment not seen in the dark.
Your entry also gives you free lunch and dessert at the end too, always good as long as the wind blows the smell away![]()
