  1. it ain,t as simple as the ground holding vast numbers of rabbits will guarantee vast bags, there were a good few gangs of ferreters on this estate when i first started,3 seperate lots of lads on 1 big field one sunday morning, some were happy catching 20 rabbits and going home, some wanted as many as possible and got good bags, some wanted good bags and got small bags off areas that could produce good bags, some would catch 6 rabbits and go to the pub, one father and son team would come every sunday morning got 20 odd rabbits off the same field and go home happy, we ended up ferreting the same
  2. markers are there to make sure you don,t miss a wire, i wouldn,t use them if i only had a handfull to check , but if your on with a couple hundred snares over a large area , then markers are essential, it also depends on the the terrain, even on fairly open ground its easy to miss an un marked wire never mind some of the stuff i set snares on at the end of the day its personnel preference, but try explaining to the keeper or a farmer when they find summit in your wires a few days after you pulled them and lamperman , less of the old, i,m still a young buck at heart
  3. insulation tape on fences, bright orange tape on top of a 18 " length wire for pegged snares about 8 ft away,
