lukeM51 1 Posted December 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 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.... ya if i had a car i could travel but im stuck locally till then! couldnt be carryin more then 10 rabbits home anyway! what do you do with 70 rabbits?? The main bulk of rabbit go to the butchers, where i trade them for dog food, so the butcher is happy, my dogs are happy and the cutomer is happy, 3 birds with one stone.. Some are frozen also for dog food... At the moment i am struggling to bring enough in for the demand of the butcher. He is getting bombarded with orders now word is out that they sell them... ya if i could promise 10-20 every weekend there is a resteraunt out the road that would buy them! Quote Link to post
