Raymond 618 Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 I was out today for a couple of hours.It was too cold for others to come. Done a few dirty ditches.I spent more time clearing my way into the burrows so I could net up.Then I had to go from one side to the other watching my nets. I had only one dig of about 8 inches to a live rabbit. I had some crack. On the last burrow I done .It was a bit of work.I had to get up a hill over barbe wire check the nets on that side and then back over the wire down the bank to check those nets. It was gas. A rabbit bolted into the net.I was holding the rabbit and netting the same hole up, just aswell as I had no sooner killed the rabbit. 2 rabbits bolted into 2 different nets ,yes luckily I netted up the hole from the first bolter.So I had 2 netted rabbits trying to net the holes in case of anymore bolters.I had one under my arm and the other inbetween my knees. No mre rabbits. I had 4 in the bag for a couple of hours work. I headed home with a smile like the cat got the cream. My only option on the ditches I was doing was purse nets. I might not get out again this side of Xmas. I love my ferreting. Merry christmas to all. Quote Link to post

DeerhoundLurcherMan 997 Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Are they less likely to bolt in this weather? Quote Link to post
Raymond 618 Posted December 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Are they less likely to bolt in this weather? 3 of them flew out into the nets. I was doing a bit in the snow a few weeks ago and got plenty of bolters. Quote Link to post
Raymond 618 Posted December 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 well done raymond mate Hows things, hope your doing well with the ferrets. I could have kept going and done a few more burrows and got more. This time last year it was very bad. I cut down on the number of ferrets I had and was even thinking of packing it in at times. I suppose you have to take the good with the bad. Plenty of rabbit stew this winter.ATB Ray Quote Link to post
