Rabbithunter 456 Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Well, i set 100 yards of longnet one side, and 75 yards the other side of a dyke. I entered 4 ferrets and let them roam about i got 5 on this set, i lost 3, 2 got around the 75yard net, and one, my polecat hob grabbed it at the hole and the rabbit took off, eventually he let go. I put the longnets around the opposite dyke, and put just three ferrets in, well i had my hands full, rabbits bolting everywhere. I got 9, but as i was ravelling the longnet in, there was one just curled up sitting nice in the net, so 10. I then walked over to another field, with only the purse nets, no longnets, i netted 5 holes on a field set, entered my poley jill but nothing came out. As i was lifting nets, i heard rabbits rumbling around, so i re-set the nets, i went over to a dyke and netted a few holes on there. As i was netting a rabbit decided to bolt. when i got back to the field set, there was a net that had been pursed. I entered the poley hob, and rabbit belted out straight away, then another. There was no more rabbits in the dyke set. so i ended the day at about 2.00pm with 18 rabbits. a bloody lot to carry back to the van, for one man. One of the 15 rabbits to hit the longnet My pup marking a few weeks back. Quote Link to post

Rabbithunter 456 Posted January 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 It was some trek back to the van with all that, i had to take 2 boxes and bag of nets in one trip. longnet basket & traditional nets, pegs and spade in another. and 13 rabbits another (5 were already in the van). shoulders are feeling it this morning more so because i was at the gym thursday night, then lugging all that around yesterday morning.

Rabbithunter 456 Posted January 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 im gonna have a look around there tonight with the lamp to see what rabbits are still about, i know theres still another good bag to come off, my dad wanted to go with me this morning but advised him that we should wait till next week, and the rabbits will move into the sets i ferreted yesterday. i have took 24 off that spot in two days, and theres probably another 24 to be had, just gotta hope they move in the sets together, find out tonight.
