BennyS 1 Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 (edited) Sunday morning came, snow on the ground and freezing..just the weather for ferreting! Majoity of the holes were covered with snow so there were plenty of bursts of snow and missed rabbits but none the less a great days sport was had. The young jill is this years and absolutely flying. Doesnt peep the head up much and seems to work all the burrows deep and never seems to be too far away from the back of the rabbit. A bit small for holding fully grown rabbits so very rarely have to dig either. Just did the one burrow and took two rabbits home. One of the netted rabbits seemed to have a belly full of young so was let run for another day. Edited February 10, 2009 by BennyS Quote Link to post

We were doing a big burrow a few sundays ago with another couple of strange jills and he was more interested in the pair of them than working!! Never seen him move so fast Quote Link to post
