    Its a matter of choice. some will swear by traditional, others quick sets. quick sets are easier to use for the beginner IMO, especially in windy conditions as it prevents all the slack running to one end. some trad nets have the slack stitched every 5 yards to help against this happening. whichever you decide to go for my advice would be to take it down to the local park/field and have a practise in daylight setting and picking up your nets until your confident you can do it at night. If your mainly using them for ferreting i'd say go for 2 50 yard nets or the 4 25 yard nets this will give y

    I have a collie x grey x whippet and the ground she runs on the rabbits are never far away from there holes and she does it all the time now that the crops have grown the rabbits are venturing further into the fields so she creeps up between them and safety before she runs at them. Think the dog is using its brain and also were the dog has learned its trade has a lot to do with it she has never had clean fields to run at rabbits so has adapted to we're she is even if it is a bit frustrating at times.

    That's bad crack Keith same happened to me a few years back at about the same age had 7 to look after managed to get 5 reared I used to mince rabbit and chicken up then squash it up till it was like a paste they would lick it but they soon got the idea also used to give them that substitute milk you can get at the pet shop. Good luck mate.

    Phone call made permission granted only bad thing wants me to start ferreting now hate ferreting at this time of year but supposed it has to be done. Went to my local boozer for a pint and a lad asked if I would go to Birmingham and sort what he says is a rabbit infestation out. Long way to travel for a bit ferreting.

    Got a bit of info. Off a bloke and emailed who he said turns out its his dad thats the owner of some of the fields got his phone no. Have got to ring him tomorro.
  18. johnrthrfrd
    Decided today to try and find out who the owners are of the fields were I take the dogs for a bit of exercise there planted with crops and there are plenty rabbits munching them so of I went the smorning with the lurcher in tow to try and find who owned them. So after 2 hours pottering about asking people and knocking on a few doors I'm still none the wiser no one seems to know who the owners are at least the dog had a bit exercise and picked a couple of young rabbits up to feed the stinkers. So the mystery continues I'll be back out next weekend when I'm off work trying to track them down.

    Been working at a very large and expensive house lately got talking to the lady of the house yesterday and she mentioned they had had to get some body in to sort the moles out so I asked about the rabbits she said they wanted rid of them but they didn't want to kill them so told her I could sort it out for her she said that would be great and to leave her my no. And she would talk to her husband when he got in. So fingers crossed might be a bit new permission and there place is surrounded by nowt but farm land so might even pick a bit up off the neighbours if it works out.
