JordKil 0 Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 I recently got some new permission down at stables near the bottom of my road. There's plenty of fields and a couple of banks with some bunnies. But we decided to have a look at the gorse area yesterday. After being stalked by some anrgy ponies we got to it and at that second four rabbits and 2 hares went bolting out of the bushes and into a even deeper patch. Unfortuantely I didnt have the dog as the landowner said that the horses would most likely chase him (which wouldnt help as he's shit scared of horses lol) Anyway me and my mate went to investigate all the gorse and there wasnt a single hole in sight! By the looks of it they have just been nesting in the cover. How would I get them out? I thought perhaps dogs but then theres the problem of horses. Also i dont want to risk losing ferrets and i dont have a gun and the closest mate with a gun is either my cousin up in inverness (100+ miles from me) or possibly my mate about 40 miles away who has heaps of guns (hes a farmer) Cheers Jordan Quote Link to post
Guest tewkesferreter Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 how bigs the gorse patch mate,could you long net round it n push em from the inside out? Quote Link to post
stealthy1 3,964 Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Cut back the gorse to look for holes, if there are no holes move on! Quote Link to post
The one 8,623 Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Do the horses get taken in at night pop some snares down and lift them in the moring ,I wouldn't be keen to put a longnet round a clup of gorse with horses in the field panic them and they will go right threw the net Quote Link to post
JordKil 0 Posted January 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Im not sure if they're taken in i could ask and take the dog and lamp down. We tried putting a net round the smaller bushes but the other one is HUGE and theres no chance in getting a net round. Definantly no holes we walked through it all there was a rabbit nesting in a pile of dead braches which i kicked and it came flying out. I think we'll just move on to the neighbouring farms..
