hickso 0 Posted February 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Also a quick question, what difference will all this snow make to ferreting? Not that we have had it yet. I am assuming that more rabbits will be to ground? Quote Link to post
Halfinch 51 Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 No young here yet. Quote Link to post
The one 8,579 Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 The first diffence is you wont see all the holes and unless your shooting you will loose a few rabbits ,Rabbits that live above ground will still do so as when your walking about the tracks will tell you .But you will know what burrows have rabbits in them by the tracks and you will see the pee from the yellow snow Quote Link to post

Kenny.B 1 Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 I had a very fatty doe last week, full of young, suprised!!!!!! Quote Link to post
victor 10 Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 did you feed it to the ferret? Quote Link to post
runforyourlife 361 Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Afriend of mine caught a bunnie with young in it 4 weeks ago. There are rabbits which can stay fertile all year around, and get caught, and hold babys at any times of the year... Quote Link to post
