Bolting Bunnys

[archiekale 427]

got a call off the farmer were i had been lamping the rabbits 2 weeks ago asking if i could ferret the edge as the rabbits are doing so much damage i usually do this when the cover as died off but need must so i arranged to meet 2 celebrity shooters LG & PB no names mentioned ones fat and ones small and even fatter we arrived at the meeting place CAFE 3 breakfasts already lined up (good start) we eventually got to the field and collard the ferrets up and star...ted at the bottom edge the beginning was slow to start off with as this was the first time this season the ferrets had been out they soon started to pick up the pace as rabbits were hole hoping back and forth this edge must have 40 + holes still plenty of cover young nettles thistles and brambles hard work we accounted for 9 rabbits off the bottom edge then moved on to the top edge this looked more promising but again rabbits just hole hoping you have to be quick with so many holes so decided to flood the holes all 4 ferrets in this had a emmediate effect with rabbits wanting out and trying to make a run for the other warrens the two celebs shot well considering the cover been thick and the rabbits so fast ended the day with 22 and 2 escapes so farmer well pleased the two celebs didnt want to show there faces as they dont want any publicity

Good day out and good fun bolting rabbits.

Can be tiring and cause your back to ache stood around waiting for them to bolt.

A seat of some kind is definitely a must.

Or you might be really stiffened up on getting home after a long day.
