anthonytomo 8 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 drove round today looking for my first permission for a bit of ferreting and every farm yard we went into either had a vicous dog in it or the farmer wasnt in so we decided to ask this one last farm we drove in got out and knocked on the door and a old woman answered and was ask weather we could have permission and she replied yes but no dogs they scare the sheep the deal is though that we work around her sheep we dont now the borders as of yet because her sons wernt in to show us but on the field she said will always be empty and have no sheep on ever ,we went to have a look there was so much rabbit poo and rabbit runs going everywhere so we got the gear out for a quick bit of ferreting we only had time to do two ,three eyed hole and the ferrets done them over pretty quick and nothing at home there isnt many rabbit burrows on the field but lots of everdance that they are there. we bumped into her next door nieghbour wo was curious to what we were doing and what told her she then replied oh yer theres loads of rabbits about round her my son shots them hes in scotland now shooting as we speek maybe this is why there no one home in the burrow but come to think of it there isnt any big warren only little ones, what do youse think ? anthonytomo Quote Link to post
Ideation 8,217 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Those are stop over burrows maybe and the big ones are else where. Rabbits just use them to hide when spooked etc. Also son probably shoots the easiest bits. Quote Link to post

Ideation 8,217 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 so they are most probably on other feilds around somewhere then Try going down first light and you might find a few feeding that run into those holes. Failing that go down with a lamp and put it on them and see where they run. Quote Link to post
