gibby 0 Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Me and swandog1 off this site were out today with some of our ferrets doing a few warrens along hedges and fences. From the first few warrens we had about 8 rabbits, and we hadnt even been out too long, all of them were bolters, then we did a nice wee 4 holer under a couple of small trees along a fence. While we were bloody netting the warren a rabbit poked his wee head out of one of the holes that was unnetted, I thought it would go back down once it saw me but the feckin thing bolted! Couldnt bloody belive it !! So anyway we put a couple of ferrets down and get a rabbit bolting into the net. We wait for a while longer then have a look with the locator and find that one of the ferrets is staying with a rabbit. Anyway it was some very fecking stony ground, and just as we get a couple of feet down out pops a rabbit and bolts away, it had jumped through the loose soil I was about to scoop out. Shit! Thats the rabbit gone then, or so we think. In this one stopend was a further 5 rabbits, one of them the ferret was holding onto the rest were bottled up. Couldnt fecking believe it again!! That was 6 down the one stopend! Well worth a small dig in the rocky ground like! I think we dug a further twice (to only one rabbit each time tho! ) on the next two warrens, a big warren and a small one, because the wind had picked up so we thought that might be why they werent bolting so freely. Ended the day (well about 4 hours of ferreting) with 18 rabbits to lug back to the car. We had also lost 4 from freak digging errors and unnetted holes so it would have been more. All in all a great day! This was taken with my new camera phone, I thought I was taking a pic but I made a video Cheers, Gibby PS, I think this just proves that a collar is a worthwhile bit of kit. If we had waited for the ferret to come up rather than digging we wouldnt have left just the one rabbit, but 6. Quote Link to post
