Personally I don't like an East Wind. A old saying " when the wind is in the East the rabbits bolt the least, when the wind is in the West the rabbits bolt the best".

Cheers Arry

How does a rabbit know which way the wind is blowing when it’s down a hole :D

I don't know mate but alway seem to get more lay ups when its in the East. I can't understand why they would not bolt just because its blowing in a particular direction. Was alway quoted to me by my father and other old boys.

I dont know about the weather affecting ferreting but when you have arranged a day out on your days off you got to give it a go 

Does weather matter if ferrets up a rabbits arse coming out the burrow ?.

One thing i do more now is put another change of clothes in the back of the truck so its a dry clean drive home LOL

The best weather that we have found to be is on a calm day not to hot as it is unfair on the ferrets and the dogs. On a hot day we never seem to get any good results and the same on a windy day. When it’s wet and cold forget it I don’t like getting wet and freezing my but of.

      My little doe has finally had her kits around a week ago their mum is a great little hunter but also a great pet  she is proud of them and i have been close to them but still keeping a distance from them at this stage  hopefully if i can get 3 to 4 bucks for new stock I will be happy with that . My question is I have in the past put my young ones to work with their mum at around 6 months old is that a bit to early. Second of all I will keep one of her daughters for breading as milly is getting old  . With the older ones I will pass them on as pets as that are friendly when handheld but do hunt when they out to work . c
