    I wouldn't worry about the size of it just be selective in positioning the dog and slip it when the rabbits close to the hedge because once the turning starts up against the hedge it will come into its own

    Stick them all on end then give it large with the splitter while the wife is up ending them again for round two then throw them in the truck and away. None of this tidy stacking lark don't want to fit too many in

    I use kennels for our cocker he gets good care main problem with them is they keep giving him back You just need to find one thats been around a few years with a good rep then you shouldn't have any problems other than the expense of course

    This I would agree with I remember a night last year nice and dark good breeze I ran out a couple of 50 yarders and bagged a couple of rabbits. All done in total darkness and as I strolled back with me rabbits I could see the farm house in the distance all lit up and no one had a clue I was there it was perfect. But night vision for me would ruin what it is all about and feel like cheating at the end of the day for me any way

    Keep plugging away I have been asking one farm for 3 years he finally cracked this year. He asked me to drop him in a rabbit but I can't seem to catch one on his land so I got one else where and dropped it in . Some just don't like the hassle of being asked one lady this week said in last 2 weeks 3 people had asked her and I was number 4 and she didn't look happy so I won't disturb her again

    Even if the rabbit see's the net do you think it decides to take its chances any way and attempt to plough through as it has no idea what it is? or run along it and get caught in the tailed net if it has been done. Rather than do a u turn and head off else where. I keep thinking of a video on here where it was filmed with the night vision and you can see a rabbit time and time again throw him self at the net trying to go through.

    Glad you enjoyed your day would be much easier to break your dog if you had your own ferret so he gets used to them ? A chopped ferret won't impress your mate much

    thought I would try for some new permission this morning the first farm they was asleep but the second the fella said I was welcome to go just this once as he shoots him self. So better then nothing the first hedge was quite easy so obviously nothing in them but the second looked much better but a bit of a challenge on my own. Found about 10 holes looking pretty used and worth a run through managed to crawl around and set my nets as best I could. Popped my little jill in and she didn't show at any of the holes so looked good. Out the corner of my eye I saw a rabbit creeping into the net after

    Good job you got out the way of that jj and them bits of corrugated flying around not much fun either

    Don't rule out around the edges of built up areas I have noticed a lot of rabbits in some of these places. Permission is a bit tricky because a lot of it is council land or railways but there is the odd farmers field here and there I am going to try get permission on. 1 rabbit is a major success for me and the buzz is the same now as twenty odd years ago. I was a right noisy ferreter as a kid if a rabbit bolted out of open hole I would start legging it after it shouting rabbit and going whoop whoop and the dogs would come belting along ( not the way to ferret i know ) Got back into it few y

    A good home and plenty of our doors I would say that patterdale is a lot luckier than some

    Try and keep tabs on where all the badger sets are on your permissions if possible and stick the dog on a lead well ahead of time just incase. As for foxes they can turn up any where but never leave home with out a spade and ideally a locator but at least spade You would feel pretty helpless if your tyke was to ground baying his head off and you had no spade and if you leave he might not be there when you get back.

    She will hunt off a way if she needs to mate, and I do have to be a little thoughtful as to where I take her, but she's nothing like a pure beagle, even though she is 3/4 bred. She is pretty biddable, and I can call her back for the most part if really need to. I take her into some pretty big blocks of forestry and have had her hunt something out of hearing , but when she has lost it she back tracks sharpish. I do plan on getting a gps if i do get a few more though. Sounds very handy and reassuring if she is good at finding her way back all ways a comfort that. I see the prices on gps'

    Do find with these types of dogs with hound in your bit limited as where you go permission wise ? due to there range and likely to end up 3 farms away if they get on a fox and also the worry of roads ? Just curious
