If it was a normal year and there was plenty rabbits about what would you do leave them after you have killed the adults and the burrows smells of ferrets ?.

rabbits are born survivers any way mate ive bred them in the past and young rabbits that we see on top will actualy fend for there selves im not saying i dont kill young rabbits it just tends to put me off when i start bolting young rabbits

Gone are the days when you more or less could ferret every month with an 'r' in it & not come across scuttlers, lIke we used to

Just freeze them along with the rest of the bag a great meal for a single ferret and they dont leave much that attracts fly's

As a kid remember we called the early season 3/4 grown's fryers, straight in the pan and tender,

 

Most does caught now are ready to drop, a few small mooches and ill be done with the ferrets... Not my thing bolting and digging to fur balls......

Ive ferreted every month of the year when clearing farms and suprisingly very little digging to young rabbits they seem to bolt before the big ones

that saying about the r in the month always makes me laugh, you can't tell me that there's ever been a time where rabbits haven't been breeding in late March/April!
