IanB 0 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Was out checking some rape stubble, see what pigeon activity was like, when I noticed a couple of runs through rabbit proof netting, snared them and popped back the next day, there all done ready for a curry tonight... Got some good lines to hit these coming months. Quote Link to post

Grrrr Quote Link to post
IanB 0 Posted August 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Was out yesterday, stopped out for some lamping and checked the snares again when the light faded... Another two out of the runs, one foul caught, ample room left for feet clearance, sometimes the rabbits commit to these points and jump clear through without touching anything, hence waist caught, you could try and counteract this by raising even higher, with a loss of killing area, risking a rabbit slipping under or knocked snare... Peoples opinion would differ. Quote Link to post
CarraghsGem 92 Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 finally getting rabbits in my snares, i need to put a few more snares down as well, got 2 this morning, think the feral cat has fecked off after his snare experience Quote Link to post
IanB 0 Posted August 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Chalk, there used to their runs, they were there before I started doing anything about them, making more would not neccesarily gain me any benefit, although I know your point, I've seen them snared on trellis, footstyles, trees jumping up at height to access area's.. The wood is not fenced one side, if they were blocked in, they would simply, come round from a different more open angle... Foul catches are not nice with snares, traps, bad shooting, regardless of location its always going to happen, even with breakaways on open runs, nothings fallible... Quote Link to post
