coneykenny 98 Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Never tried it mate, but I'd imagine plenty of collars on albino ferrets might be a help. Quote Link to post

bird 10,014 Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 might be wrong ,but wouldn't most rabbits be out feeding at night anyway, so wouldn't think you get very good bags.? not saying you carnt get them but would of thought daytime better . Quote Link to post
TOMO 29,356 Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Not done it for a few years,,,but at one time it was regular thing for me,,,,my preferred places were estate parkland,,,,,and just walk the land and put the rabbits to ground,,,,had some good scores off such places,,,many times you would be ferreting one warren,,,and watching the rabbits re emerge from the niaghbouring warrens... One spot I did regular was in the middle of a big deer park,,,,and on quite a few outings ,,,rabbits weren't the only quarry in the back of the motor on the way home,,,the old dog would run them and catch them in the moonlight,,no lamp needed... Goog old times 5 Quote Link to post
TOMO 29,356 Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Forgot to add,,, You don't always need a full moon,,,or 3/4 moon,,,we also used to do a some fields next to a power station,,,flat as a bowling green,,,,the lights from the power station,,would polute the serounding land,,,so you could do this any time,,, And just reacantly I have been eyeing up a spot to do on a ditch,, that runs out 90 degrees from a country lane that has street lighting!!!I've watched the rabbits running around from the light pollution Quote Link to post
