  1. J darcy, what a cracking pic iv got most of your books and there all full of brilliant pics, scobby being one of my favourites,
  2. Fats nice looking merle you got there mate
  3. It's a lovely place just in the woods littered with a lot of limestone makes it hard work for the dog and the wind didn't help
  4. First trip out of this year saw us head to the wood for abit of shelter from the Gail force wind, first few warrens looked used but lurcher said no! So we just walked round until we got a positive mark, nets on and little silver Jill in, nothing showed for 10mins or so, out with the locator 1foot down nice easy dig rabbit number 1 in the bag number 2 bolted, escaped the net and went across the limestone and through the wall, the lurcher never looked liked catching this one, it's impossible to get across the stone with any such speed, soon pack and ready for any more, another shallow dig made
  5. here is one I made earlie doing what any good net should do
  6. I got a couple off bunny boiler off here, very good quick service and really well made no complaints from me. Cheers Neil b
  7. here is mine half bred really pleased with her so far
  8. Myxi did us this season came about same time as you, fingers crossed things get better next year. That's some going mate though always interesting reading your posts and pics
  9. How many you had with ferrets so far this season?
  10. Oops, blurred vision read it wrong sorry pal
  11. How come your finishing now? You look to be still catching good numbers
  12. Horses for courses,whatever will be suitable for the kind of ground you work
  13. Here's a few iv been making over the festive period started off with 10 meshes going up in 2s to 20 meshes all double knotted half way, 12 rows down rung off after 24 rows giving me a 4ft 6 inch net happy knitting, cheers Neil b
  14. You would have put money on there being rabbits at home too but nothing when there is a lot of warrens about I suppose they can pick and choose where they stay.
  15. Just take your time you will soon get the hang of it then try making different size and shape nets
  16. Rew. Footprints, pee and droppings means nothing we were out the other week in the snow, came across warrens with all the tell tail signs of rabbits at home prints round holes ect lurcher didn't mark them tried a ferret just to be sure, nothing at home, in the end we just followed the dog wherever she marked we ferreted and got results.
  17. Iv got a half bred off him and have no problems at all with it she has done everything asked of her so far. All you can do is put opportunities in front of them show them all you can the rest is up to the dog itself then, theres good and bad in every litter
  18. So what if it's a hancock, looks a healthy looking pup
  19. We do use them were possible but it wouldn't work very well on those deep bracken beds, some days they just don't want to bolt it's just one of those things,
  20. That's what's I predominately wanted her for, marking ability, anything else is a bonus. We have that much ground to cover a lot of time could be wasted netting up empty warrens
