I wish it was easy the pic don't do it justice.Lets see your HARD hedgerows then I'll get a few of the blackthorn next time we're out! We've got a few open buries here and there, but they never seem to hold. Quote Link to post

Tiercel 6,986 Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 This is a new farm I aquired this year in Pembs. 15 to 20 feet wide solid Blackthorn hedges. You cannot even see through to the other side yet alone run a net through it. Quote Link to post

That was the first time I had done it, and probebly the last, I will stick to the long nets at night for that hedge. The major problem with it is the base of the hedge is covered in ground ivy and the rabbits have runs underneath the ivy all along the hedge so even when the bolt they travel underneath the ivy up the hedge.

trapper123 7 Posted November 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 when i do thick hedges with the longnets i also do the top and bottom runs with purse nets and any holes i can get to,to limit the rabbits running from hole to hole and up and down the hedge. Quote Link to post
Tiercel 6,986 Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 (edited) Think i'd be looking at snaring it ,that option looks easier One reason why snaring would not work for me there. It,s a 160 mile round trip. BTW trapper123 that hedge is less than 10 miles from you. Edited November 26, 2009 by tiercel Quote Link to post

You cannot even see through to the other side yet alone run a net through it. That's the stuff TC! That could be any number of hedgerows that we try to ferret round here, problem is they look like that for most of the season too. Quote Link to post
