[duck 0]

Does the weather interfere with rabbits, as i've got permission and i've being going up once a week i work there and there's loads of rabbits out during the day but at night these fewer rabbits, mainly when it rains, i know there's no-one else goes up there

i've found there's more rabbits out on all my permision when there's a little bit of drizzle, usually between 3am and 7am,

 

sure your not spooking them somehow?

I am also interested in a response to Ducks question as the weather (when raining) seems to hamper my efforts.

Thanks.

It's the old 'Catch 22' mate, I take my dogs for a walk and I see loads of quarry, pop back later with the gun and sod all.

I find windy days keeps the blighters underground, rain does'nt seem to bother them.

Be prepared to spend more time on your permission than you think necessary, try different times of the day or night, make sure you're 'not on the wind'.

Happy hunting.

I have found that rabbits will avoid getting ringing wet if they can help it, its not as if they have a centrally heated house to go back to to dry off. Also with increased wind and rain this reduces a rabbits ability to sence any danger so they may choose to stay underground. Also you may have a number of foxes in the area that are doing the rounds and spooking the rabbits at night.

 

 

Or failing that I may have shot them all.....................

excellent question mate but i think its the one we all want to no the answer to

[Guest coney catcher99]

prahaps charlies doing his rounds before you mate try an early morning walk i find its best on a rainy night and windy they squat tighter and the wind blocks a lot of noise so they got less chance of hearing you coming
