Ideation 8,217 Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 OK, you sound slightly mental but fair play for asking. Bushing for rabbits with a terrier or terriers is really good fun. You can't expect large bags, but you can take a fair few. During the day the rabbits sit out feeding and also sit out in cover passing time. As your terrier hunts over land the rabbits sat out will join the rabbits in cover. Some will go down holes but many will choose to just hide it out in the cover. If you are in an area where there are rabbits and there is a large patch of brambles or any kind of ground cover or a good thick hedge then there is usually always one or two, sometimes more hiding in there. You terrier should use its nose to hunt up and find the rabbits, most of which will run, but often just into other bits of cover, up the hedge and sometimes straight across the field (thats where the sensible people lurcher catches them). Its a good laugh with a couple of terriers working deep cover, especially if they open up when they are on game (which most do), this is also handy as it alerts the lurcher where the game is. Terriers can be worked like mini hounds, and between them or on their own they will catch a few that they out pace on cover of best of all trap in thick hedges but most will get away. Have fun. Jai.
