grompz 703 Posted December 25, 2019 Report Share Posted December 25, 2019 often used to find if the land was getting lamped regulary the remaining rabbits would be sticky and reluctant to bolt, and if ferreting on stormy and windy days ferrets had a job to get rabbits to bolt. Quote Link to post

The gamekeeper that I was doing it for, thought that one reason for them not bolting was birds of prey over the last few days giving them pressure. That’s one to think about too. U wouldn't see 20 in the midlands 1 1 Quote Link to post
