Few Rabbits and Fox

[IanB 0]

I was on a farm yesterday and the farmer was complaining about rabbits, he's lost quite a bit of grass he uses for feed, anyway set about them with some snares and traps.. Taken from one set of scrub area were the warrens were... Set them yesterday and I've had about 70 odd when I checked them yesterday and again today... Also set a couple of fox wires as another Farmer has just let his new batch of hens out...accounted for a dog fox, second day...

 

Heres some of them to liven the section up a bit...

good going, bet the farmer was pissed off with that mess the fox done of his barley, what with the prices this year

Just lifted them today had another twenty or so..

 

Nod he's not bothered for a metre radius of barley compared to a hundred odd hens at four quid a piece it's pittance.. He wants them down regardless ..

Thats tidy going, how many did you lay down to account for the 70 Ian?

Like the way you paint the peg tops red, do you still use markers as well or just rely on the tops?

 

Snaring is a great way to get the kids interested, its very hands on and they can see the fruit of their labours up close.

the more im snareing the more its getting hold of me, nice pics and that fox looks in great condition, if people think foxes do damage you ought to see what badgers do , obviously years ago , especially in hedges we would have to but pallets up too repair the hedges, effective control this time of the year as runs are easy to find in the crops etc. great stuff

Probably had around 40 peg snares, 10 fence snares and 10 fenns out mate... over 3 days, had around the 90 mark.

 

Them pegs are easier to see in shorter grass, you can use them without markers.. I tend to just set the pegs in lines 20 yards out from the hedgelines, so you walk along picking them up, easily without losing track..
