this year it has been a good one for me and my team.

altho a lot of my land has been wiped out by myxi

but i have a really good hunting buddy that ive met on forum

that has plenty of land and a fair few rabbits..

this year im probs averaging 10 rabbits per day

but we dont normally arrive till 11am

so on a early start i would think it would be quite a bit more

The most we have had this season is 32, but i would say a avarage bag would be about 5-10

 

do you go to the same place every weekend? and do you go all out with nets n dogs n locators?

 

we have 5 or 6 good spots but we dont take it to seriously!

It all depends where you are ferreting as well. Last season, on the permission i worked on, i was averageing 30 rabbits a morning. On a full day, which was very tireing we were clearing 70 rabbits..( here the warrens were anything from 50 holes to over 150... The best from one warren was 16. I actually sat on the hillside and counted 15 drop to ground)

 

Our permission this year which we are working, the average is 15 to 20 in a 4 to 5hr session....

 

Locally (near to home) 6 would be a good days ferreting....

Last time i had less than 50 in a day was about 4 seasons ago.

But i mainly bolt to the gun, and work on large estates.

If i was ferreting with nets close to home i would be lucky to get 10. I travel anything from half an hour to 3 hours to get amongst them.

 

 

50 bunnys can i come out for a days sport with you :laugh:
