(shes destroyed all my squirrel ones lol) i have used Fenns in burrows beFore so im not really looking For trapping advice more so legal advice lol how deep does the Fenn have to be in the burrow beFore it counts as in a tunnel? cos when i went to set a couple the other day i came across like a double hole, angled about 20 degrees apart and i thought i F i bring the trap a little Further back than i normally would i could almost be covering both holes but i also thought its not 100% coveredthoughts???? should have took a picture thinking now but i didnt Quote Link to post
Phil Lloyd 10,736 Posted October 7, 2017 Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 Fill in the double hole,..and instead, find a nice single entry burrow going into the warren... Bed in your Mk 6 Fenns, legally,...by placing them well under, the overhang of the burrow,..maybe 'up your odds' by either block trapping the entire Warren, or use several traps. Best of luck,..and good trapping... Quote Link to post
micky 3,325 Posted October 7, 2017 Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 Try to get your trap in as far as you can as a trapped rabbit is very visible , block off holes that you are not trapping, tilt your trap if needed to the angle of the tube ceiling , i do not like Fenns because they are no good and a clean kill is rare and the nearer you get to the mouth of the hole the inbuilt problems with trap are more apparent .

polonose00 21 Posted October 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 cheers lads, i dont do much rabbit trapping mostly squirrel. i try to get them as deep as possible, i just thought the trap worked by jumping up slightly and catching. ill Fill in as many as possible the holes are mostly under bushes. there is a Fair bit oF Fallen wall around ill use. the double hole i was talking about 1 is slightly bigger than the other i take it Fill the smaller one in? i check them every 12 hours as they are pretty close to home.

The one 8,395 Posted October 7, 2017 Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 As said pick out the most used looking burrows then check your trap fits , then block the rest it will help your catch rate Quote Link to post
