Mink probs, and a good chance you'll not see the ferret again unfortunately.

I sometimes get a bit of tuna into the dogs, (The old dog has a heart condition, got to help!) but it can make him fart something rotten! Should be ok i reckon. If not get it on your butties!

Showing a dog on the couch mate! when trying to post up photobucket i've had probs lateley. If you get the copied flash up in the photo box on image code you are halfway there, then when clicking back on the THL site box, look up on the top line you will se 3 dustbins to the right, if you right click on the first of these it will let you paste the photo mate.

How you work is pretty much what we have had to adapt to doing last year, and this year, we always kept a few jills and a bag of nets around for the deeper lowland spots, so we had something to do if the highground was too bad weatherwise to work. I'm still learning a lot every time I go out on the lowlands, luckily i've had some decent animals about me to show me the way!

I personally think people are the biggest threat to large rabbit populations. Like the lads have said already on this thread, the other factors also see populations go boom or bust, but they do go round in cycles, seeing populations explode after a lot of years if left untouched. You see keepered areas, and estates, where the rabbits are protected for a lot of years by the keepers from human pressure, the numbers can be unreal, although they will from time to time fall victim to mixi, and vhd which can near wipe them out, they get the chance to breed unhindered for quite a few years before th

Mint, wish i could get my old feller on the spade! Good job and bag, looks bloody cold!

Used no nets on this trip, on some of the high ground we work, the warrens only hold the odd rabbit or two, so time becomes a factor where net setting does not become an efficient practice. Up until a couple of years back, all we did was use big strong hobs to hit and hold, and dig the shallow warrens, maybee a foot or so. You could drop in a big strong hob ferret, locate within a minute, turn the sod within two minutes and be onto the next within three! All in the time it may take to set a couple of nets. Any bolting bunnys were taken by the dogs. We used to clock up big bags weekly doing th

I skinned a couple off the other night for a mate, and was surprised to see how bruised the neck and shoulders were from the good old stretch method. I must have bruised thousands of rabbits over the years. Would chinning or a priest do less damage to the neck end than the stretch?

RD there's no probs of a line when the time comes, just the travelling we'll have to work out feller.

The old feller rang last night, you could tell he was having withdrawl symptoms from rabbiting, he and his missus have been dog sitting between them since last Wed for nearly 24/7 since Jed came back from the surgery. It sounds like Jed has settled in nicely with his own radiator, and every few hourly walks to the front garden for toilet duties, and then back in to watch Jeremey Kyle or whatever shoite that my old feller watches during the day, and trying to nick any food thats left about! Bloody dog! Anyhow, he agreed to pick me up at 7am as usual today, which he did, with the other run

Yep, already pursing around the rabbit before it gets out of the hole has to help, but like Barry said if its just upwards, them spread it around the hole.

Thats about it, you asked for it Jamie!
