all year round for me...... the owners of the land i control wouldnt be too pleased if i said i couldnt ferret & control the rabbits 12 months a year. if it gets over grown, i get at the bushes & brambles with the petrol hedge trimmer a week before i go.

That's good rule of thumb but the rabs have been breeding all year round down here so there are pretty much always young around, or fryers as they are otherwise known. Cheers, D.

I was just about to say stop when the month has a r in it for me i ferret october-early march after that the gun comes out.The way the weather is at the moment Indian summers,floods,etc i don,t think the rabbits know when to breed i suppose it,s down to your location in this island...
