Rabbits always sitting close to fence!!

[DottyDoo 500]

like has been said, lamp the rabbits for the dog, pick the rabbits furthest from cover, as yer dog is up there arse so to speak, an the bunny is heading for the fence or wall in quick style, gee the lamp a wee shake

 

 

Do any of you use filters on the lamp. I've got a Deben Tracer. Got Blue, Green, Amber and Red. Cheers

 

 

if its a pup ye are brinnging on mate, get the pup out without a filter, let it learn on white light....

 

after ye have lamped the area a few times an bunnys seem shy, then try a filter, i always used red, but have recently got meself an amber an its even better than red

Just a quick point, if you ferret an active badger set you are breaking the law as it is 'interfering' and i wouldnt be admitting to it in a million years.

 

As for the original question - use a lamp.

i only used to bolt the rabbits i never dug for them i thought it was only illegal to disturb a badger sett by digging on it which i never did. i was only after the rabbits i had no intrest in the badgers that lived there.

It would still be classed as disturbing the sett mate so yeah its illeagal and the fines you would get are huge plus the confiscation of any animals and tools you used

Yup, doing anything to a badger sett is a no no in the eyes of the law, and i think netting it up and running stinkers through it probably counts as 'disturbing'.

i e mailed a hunting solicitor after you said that and he said that he has only knew of a couple of case's making it to court for ferreting an active badger sett and they ended up being through out of court he said that the only time i would be breaking the law is if i started to dig the ferret out of the badger sett.
