Joe1888 672 Posted January 26, 2019 Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 Had a good start on monday with ferrets and glen( white dog), always good when you see rabbits bolt early. First stop was Hawick in the Scottish borders for the first bit of rabbit control. The land owner had rabbits in the garden and asked if I could help out. An hour later was finished and 2 rabbits up. Glen was on the ball and the hob worked well. After that headed over to coldingham for the next bit of rabbit control. It didn't look like there was much about, the land owner had said hed been shooting rabbits in the summer and numbers down. Netted alot of holes without any rabbits bolting. Can only catch whats there Out in fife yesterday with ferrets and kelt(brindle bitch). Rabbits were destroying the winter barley so i was asked to help out. Ferrets worked hard, bloody hob wouldnt let any rabbits bolt, had a few digs. Kelts marking was spot on. 6 Quote Link to post
