Rolfe 2 Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Just been out with the dogs and came across the first rabbit "Stop" of the season for me. Charlie had obviously had a good feed on the youngsters. It was way out in the middle of grass field, so how it was discovered by the foraging fox is quite amazing. Still.........he has helped me with the rabbit clearance i suppose. Rolfe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Don't reckon a badger could've done it then, Rolfe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rolfe 2 Posted February 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Don't reckon a badger could've done it then, Rolfe? Badger usually rips open a much larger cavity Ditch, and ALWAYS leaves distinct claw marks in the surrounding hole walls. When the hole appears neat and tidy as this was.........it is always charlie.

Cool. Round here all they (badgers) get to rip apart are wasps nests. Absolute buggers for that game. No rabbits here for them. Just the odd Fenn Double Entry! Here's one they did earlier!

Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 F*cking hell, Rolfe! Now, round here, the jaspers only ever nest barely below the surface. More often than not near the foot of a low bank. I imagine that's because any lower and they'll hit ~ effectively ~ mud! Come to think of it; Our 'Bog Nests' are never very big either. Plenty of them, but not big ones. Scratching them out and destroying them is probably about the one, useful, thing the bloody badgers do around here too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
