Night time ferreting


Recommended Posts

We spent a day ferreting, difficult spot on a road banking full of thorn, not many rabbits about but the farm was a plant nursery so we were always under pressure to catch em. Long hard day with heads and hands full of cuts and thorns. 

Managed to catch about 10. Put everyone alive in a small Hessian sack, tied up and hung on the fence ready to be released elsewhere. 

At the end of the day we went to collect em up. Every bag had a hole chewed in it and no rabbit left. We had only 2 left not escaped. Drove to another farm and walked out onto the moor edge, an area that once held rabbits. Opened the first bag and the bloody rabbit was dead stiff as a post. Only 1 rabbit left....so we let him go. Needless to say it didn't repopulate the area 🤣
