shaunpauls7 131 Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 (edited) Had a hour out this morning just up at some of conner's permission .The setts we where doing today where just 3-4 holer's as it was just a older chaps garden.Well we started of about 12 drove up to the permission and had a walk around never seen much around so started checking the setts.First sett we got a mark on was a small 2 holer.Nets down and Collared up his jill, In she went 5 minutes past had a scan around on the box and she wasn't moving so started to dig away and after about 4 spade full's we broke through to the channel, Rabbit out dispatched hole filled and moved on.Second sett we got a mark on was a old rotten tree with a few holes around the base of it.Netted up and put the jill in, a couple of minutes past and a very young rabbit crept out the sett and bolted back down thought to myself fxxxing great after that all you heard was squealing the jill was moving around the sett killing of each one.Had a scan around on the box and had her under our feet so started to dig away and broke through into the channel to the doe pulled out and dispatched.After that our hour out came to a end and headed back home. Anyone else had any young rabbits? atb shaun Edited October 23, 2011 by shaunpauls7 Quote Link to post
