    hmm now its odd you should say that we had over 50 last week in one night and the same numbers the week before and me and 2 other keepers went out up at his ground (millden grouse moor) and got almost 300 in one night with shotguns so i cant see how you have come up with one or two then the rest run off maybe if the ground only holds a few rabbits then yeh but a 100 plus on the headlands you will be looking at more than one of two mate

    i have found i can still get a shot in bad weather most of the times but you realy have to have your wits about you as its been said it can get up close. also you could youse the weather to your advantage if its raining real hard for a day or two have a realy good stalk morning and night when the weather clears up as they will have been in cover on tick over mode and will take the chance to fill overe their bellies when the weather calms down agen good luck

    FENN TRAPS AND CAGE TRAPPING, HE WANTS TO GET THE NUMBERS DOWN, NOT CATCH 1 OR 2 AT A TIME.... YOU'D GET MORE THROWING STONES......... ime sorry my man but i have to disagree with you their fenn traps are very good at trapping rabbits its easy to get 6/7 rabbits out of 10 traps one in each hole of fill in all the holes losely then trap the ones that have been opend out .... all thou this will also be very hard to do as the holes are under a hedge
