where are they???

[shotgun..willy 8]

for the last few trips me and my dad have made to our ferreting permission ,upon arriving there have been alot of rabbits running around but when we net up and enter a ferret to the holes nothing nuch bolts is it just me having this problem ??

[Guest houndblair]

Is there much cover up there, beacuse what weve found in some places is that the rabbits will sit tight in the cover when theres no one home. Or if you make too much noise the rabbits will not bolt!!

 

Hope you overcome this problem and start bolting bunnys

rabbits are pairing up this time of year and are very reluctant to bolt the old buck full of testosterone will happily have a go at a small ferret .................

shoot them then

Nobody else has been there before have they?

 

Other than that maybe a stoat or mink might have been through the bury and pushed them out.

Have you tried a different ferret or a dog that marks? Some ground I have used to have a load of cover and no rabbits to ground but now its been cleared they have dug a load more burrows and use them.

it seems there is a healthy population of stoats in the area so iv out seting plenty of traps
