It’s almost time chaps.

[Guest vin]

I’ve just been to drop some ferrets off for the keepers etc and sort my Truck tyres out.  

All set to start now. Couple more weeks and I’ll have a walk with the dogs.

My pictures for this season are going to be start of the day pics instead of the usual big bag of rabbits lined up to show off at the end of the day. 

Have a bloody good season everyone.

Best way to start the day bacon and pudding roll. Won't be long now I'm hoping to start 1st September, are we the only two that observe any kind of closed season?

Il be starting beginning of September, I’ve got new permission to go at so fingers crossed we will have a good season 

[Bobtheferret 1,223]

I doubt I’ll go out till late September early October the cover is high and when shooting last week was still getting milky does and one pregnant one, was deliberately only shooting the odd one to show my face as would hunt them with dogs and ferrets rather than shoot them. Amazed by the amount of pictures online of blokes lamping already and not the odd run 40 rabbit bags if the pictures are to be believed! 

Have a good season everyone

There is a distinct difference between real pest control and the sporting rabbiter

One muppet local to me has been posting pics on Facebook of his lamping outings, really chuffed with himself catching 1/2 grown rabbits and leverets, when some one said it’s abit earlie his come back was just keeping up with everyone else,

Some horse paddock are ready just now for a wee shot , but the rest are going to have to wait the covers horrendous 

[Lee farrington 211]

I can't wait. Went out for a walk the other day with the dog and rifle and the cover is still so thick. I went to one warren that is usual full of rabbits and it looks like it's been taken over by wasps. 

I think it's going to be a least October before the cover dies off

If its anything like last year the wind and rain will flatten the cover before the frost

Our Very own Mr Darcy was posting pics of his dog catching rabbits on the lamp the other night all over facebook in the middle of August.  So try telling any of these young mad -for - it lads that they can't go out till the season starts and they will laugh at us. 

Enjoy what you've got while it lasts chaps. . . Because with the way things are going these days..there will be no places left in a few seasons.
