22nd of January 1879 11 were won at Rorke's Drift .

It's not really on for me ! to much kit needed and the climb involved is for a much younger man /team but there are a lot of Rabbits there and over the last few Weeks I have been taking a Dozen a Week with no effort at all with snares , other than the Climb and the likelihood of carrying the Bag off another reason is the amount of young Rabbits that are there ! the place is lifting with them and if they are lucky their young will Breed this season too and as I get older I am finding it more and more distasteful killing Pregnant or in Milk Rabbits .

I think that site has had its day as a Hunting site and its only the General talk that keeps it going , there are lots of FB sites that are much better with a lot more interaction , I would like to see the site go back to how it was in the early years but it never will the picture is a young Rabbit , where I was this morning there was loads of them running into the sets ….. nice to see em .

I have some Imbra Traps that I have used on and off from the late 50s they were humane then as they are now I also used the Juby which came to me very much later in life and is also a very good killer probably the best there is , both these traps have been designed to KILL Rabbits and Design is everything either coming out or going in those Jaws strike the same spot every time Neck coming out behind the front Leg going in , The Fenn is not a very good trap and the people that use them are not much good either and in the past I have seen Fenns on these pages set the wrong way round , in t

I was going to set some Rabbit Traps this Morning but most of the holes at the bottom of this Hill were full of Water so I only bothered with a couple further along there were lots more holes on drier ground but I wasn't up to climbing Fences a shame really as they were all small round holes that the old Ginn Trappers liked, I ended up setting a handful of Wires , they were 't in my first choice of place but due to the weather the runs had gone and I dare not place them on the fence as the good people of Skipton still Hang poor OAPs who are desperate for a meal .

Around 85 did you ever lamp around Saltby along the Railway lines it was lousy with Rabbits then, those Rabbits came through the Fences but on the lamp the could not get back , Gunby was good as well !had some good lamping there back in the day

There is a reason why there are no Rabbits on that land but it is not Clay the Midlands are covered in Clay and Disease free Rabbits will thrive on it however I think that Rabbits that live in the lighter drier Soils will have a greater chance of surviving Mixi than they would in Clay the reason for this is though diseases will weaken Animals including us Pneumonia is the Killer ( The Old Mans Friend ) and Rabbits living in Peaty or Sandy grounds will stand a better chance than the Cold Wet Clay This land was tested years ago with a view of putting a Reservoir there in 1967

Preventing Poaching In The Uk
micky replied to CH-SUK's topic in Gamekeeping, Conservation & Shoot Management
he lad who lived next door to us was not the cleverest Poacher in the World but he was one of the Gamest , he would catch the Bus at Melton and travel to Grantham and then walk back by the fields Shooting anything he saw with a 22 Rifle I went with him a couple of times and it was good fun for two Fourteen year olds ,once when I was with him the stopped just outside Croxton Kerrial and there was a Cock Bird strutting under the Spring Water Pipe that was used to fill the Steam Engines , Geff opened the Window a let Clang, jumped off the Bus and retrieved his Bird , nobody said a word , tha -

The Rabbits are committed when they hit these spots and I seem to do well on them .

I had a Rabbit yesterday and should have had a couple more I had set my Wires at 7 inch but it was to low so I lifted them an inch and went back this morning and had the luck to trip two up , though there are a lot of Rabbits here and I have only been using 5 snares I think I should have done a little better !while I have been here I have had 1s lots of 2s and 4 3s , I shall move down to the Brook/Ditch where Rabbits are jumping over to Clean Ground to me these are the easiest places to catch Rabbits other than Fence Wires

An old chap in the Village asked my Mrs if I could get him a couple of Rabbits she said yes but has any one noticed that once you promise wild stuff it's almost to get . I went down the Lane to a spot where I have tripped a few up over the last Month, coming from the other side of the Fell the first thing I saw was a Rabbit that I snared last Week and had been taken by a Fox the next thing was a marker pin which I had left behind you can see where the Rabbits have been chewing it they love the Hazel Bark and often sit and have a chew even if they are in a Snare! I have wondered if Hazel twig
