This years season

[ASC 3]

How's everyone's season going ? 

A few years ago I landed on a good piece of permission, I've been taking my 2 young boys with me and they've been enjoying learning the trade.

I went up the other day for a quick walk around just me and the dog only to find it's been poached, alot of holes have been dug and not back filled, I never saw a rabbit, the dog never marked any holes.

There were healthy numbers 2 years ago now there's no sign.

It's a shame really, anyway rant over.

 On the plus side we have been asked to thin some rabbits on a hedgerow.

We will try to move them to an area of ground that I first started ferreting 30 odd years ago, see if we can repopulate it.

Hard work this year mainly because of so much rain, wind, warm weather and a late start.

Been steady average about 8 but today finishing a side of a hill and we only had one Lol.
