micky 3,325 Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 A farmer told me where there was a few Rabbits last week so i went early one morning for a look and sure enough i saw about a dozen run to the hedge from the cover of a fallen tree where they had been feeding in the half light , yesterday i took ten traps and a bag of Peat and and had a good look around in daylight , i was surprised to see there was only four holes and they did not look to good though further up the hill was a large well used Badger sett that was also being used by Rabbits i left that be and went back and trapped the four holes i also set four hoops in a well trodden gateway, i got there this morning and the first thing i saw was f***ing stars i tripped over the first snare and went flying into the gate breaking my camera in the process, no rabbits here but there was a Hare, there are a lot on this place and i let them go if i am able but this one was gone , then down the hill to the traps ,nothing in them though one had been fired i left them in till morning but i am not very hopeful of a result. 4 Quote Link to post
EDDIE B 3,120 Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 Jess micky, lucky it was only the camera you broke. I've always gone out on my own. Suppose I like my own company, but it does enter my mind from time to time, "what if I get in trouble". The shit could hit the fan real quick. Quote Link to post

micky 3,325 Posted November 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 when i tripped and broke my camera i also caught my mouth and had to go dentist he made a mold and i went back today and have two teeth removed and a denture fitted , a very expensive Hare. On the way home i called in at a field where a lot of blewits grow there was plenty there and i picked about 15 lb for my sister who will preserve them i left the rest in the pasture for the cattle to knock over shame though they are very blue here and fetch a premium price but no market. 1 Quote Link to post
