not set any snares for a bit but i could not resist this run at the back of my house, the rabbits are starting to move off of the m-way and are restocking the hedgerows, i will leave them be now as they are well in kittle but once they start eating the bedding plants they will have to go .

i have had a very poor year for rabbits and one of the people i supply has had to go to a game dealer for rabbits , last season i was selling them to him at £3 apiece dressed [unmarked] this year he is paying around £4 . for inferior rabbits off of a game dealer i also sell to a few resturants for £4 each dressed these are bulk orders of at least a dozen and one place stipulates does only .

i live close to two m-ways and often travel them ,over a year you see quite a few buzzards that have been flattened laying on the verge often in pairs , makes me wonder if the second one cops it whilst going for a feed off of its mate

did you not learn on all them nights on nightclub doors that before you can wrap anything around someones neck , you must be very very sure that you can reach that far.

They were good old days Tomo,! mobile phones and to many cars on the roads spoilt it , 5 bob a rabbit and 10 bob a pheasant and if you stood up straight and said "sorry sir , it wont happen again " the beaks only fined you a quid.

Charging For Stolen Traps
micky replied to perthshire keeper's topic in Snaring, Trapping & Pest Control
Me and another lad got caught pinching a trap with a rabbit in it , it was back in the 50s in a sandpit outside of Edinburgh, a gamekeeper and the local copper got hold of us and gave us both a real battering [scotch b*****ds] they wanted to take it further but when my mam and uncle Pat came to fetch us she told them i would get plenty more when i got home plus my uncle was in the Black Watch witch also helped the job -
there are Pikeys on all the islands around Leics.

the bluelegs will turn to snot when you thaw them out pickle them if you wish to keep them

bagging catches rabbits , always has and always will , tension in the lines and plenty of sheeting between the pegs, simple as that.

The boxes are usually for 4 or 6 hares,each compartment would be about as wide as a shoebox but longer and could be entered or released from either side. Handling the hares is a very precise action to avoid fatal injuries to the hare and releasing them correctly is just as crucial Y.I.S Leeview I drop mine in a sack an not a prob on release sacking will kill hares or rabbits

in cold weather i always hang pheasants till they look septic, always pluck ,draw and remove tendons as well ,its the way i was taught as a kid when every bit was precious .

there is a big diffrence on how rabbits were prepared for sale in the 50s and nowdays, the head was always skinned and the bile gland removed from the liver, if the rabbit was being presented at a butchers the liver would be pushed to the front of the carcass with a skewer so to show the health of the animal.more care was taken on removing the pelt as this was worth money also. Mam was very quick but it took her a lot longer than a minute to achieve the standards required in those days

My mam and sister were red hot at dressing rabbits back in the 50s , mam used a pair of rose cutters for the legs then Jan skinned them down to the neck ,mam then took the skin over the head and dressed the liver,my job was to hang the skins in the wood barn to be collected later by a man from Nottingham
