Rabbit Snaring

[IanB 0]

Checked them again this morning, lifted all the peg snares... As I came down the road I noticed the vixen I lamped last night had been knocked over, she had taken a few rabbits from the snares before she got tempted over the road... shame ...

Phil I was bad all day not a bad little number off that wood, around a 100, still plenty more there, the majority were in the fence wires, checked over the side road, few more had been taken, took the .243 if I spotted any bucks but was short of time so inverted a few rabbits instead with it ...Tell me about the mate, what a nightmare eh? Thats some walk by the way, I powered off and left the nob , he said his inside legs are all chaffed off his jeans rubbing No more moles, one backfilled...

 

Tomo, if you look back at one of the first photos you will see the fresh fox scat near a snare shot, she was working the wood, probably heard a rabbit in the snare across the road, struggled to get through and got hit... I'll try and find the cubs...

two good clips there ian setting snares now you can have rabbits in them quickly empty and reset and have another catch shortly afterwards a good way to thin out rabbit numbers on a fence line like that ,phill allways realeased young rabbits caught in the wires not like that moley he will kill anything no matter how small ,good work lads
