FENCE SNARING RABBITS

[micky 3,325]

Its  very easy and you can catch a lot of Rabbits with very little effort, any one else do it .

Micky. You nailed it. I remember when on the side of a plantation near Pitlochry, we went out and placed a string of snares attached to the bottom wire of the fencing. This was done in the afternoon. In the early hours we went , quietly to within the trees and lifted the top wire as far as we could and let it go. Sounded like a rifle going off and the results were as you'd expect. Can't remember the numbers but it was a lot. Jok.

Too much for me this time of the year to see an old Doe in a Wire with 3/4  Kits sat around Her looking for some grub !!! makes me feel like Hitler.

I've had a few on the fence but the fenced arnt dug under where I go so it's a case of setting it on the right grid of mesh for a catch, had a few on the leg also but I'm no expert. Rabbit numbers arnt huge around my way but I've got a few other areas I do squirrels.
