you can go any time really,best in the morn so you have plenty time,nowt worse than getting back trying to sort gear out in the dark,especially like the day we had on sunday,absalutely pissed down blowing a gale,everything soaking wet,ferts,nets clothes,bloody cold aswell,plus you get more time on the job,no rush,can do everything relaxed,ha ha,especially if you have a lot of ground to cover,oki doki,ian

Don't know if it makes any difference as far as the numbers of rabbits bolting is concerned, but i think its sensible not to but a ferret to ground any later than 2pm because if your ferret lays up you want plenty of time to get it back before it gets dark.

I like to go first thing.You can often see rabbits going back under for the day and also if you get a lay up you could be there all day like matt241075 has just experienced.He went on fri and collar packed and no signs of getting ferret when getting dark so he returned sat for few hours and still no sign after checking most of day.Then last night on way to Scotland he popped to set for one last try and as soon made a noise the ferret come walking out of warren.So that just shows you how long you could be sat around waiting.
