Sonny Brindle 2 Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Think you might be on to something there mate. Had a good night last season running on patchy melting snow with a full moon. I guess the rabbits really need to load up on food after a few days of snow, and as soon as the thaw starts they are all out catching up on missed grub. Quote Link to post
iceman001979 1,316 Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 Its because the snow melts faster in the middle then around the hedges and trees where the sun cant get at it just cant wait got myself a blue filter for going out in the snow heard its far better all l need now is snow over here Quote Link to post

beefcurry 0 Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Its because the snow melts faster in the middle then around the hedges and trees where the sun cant get at it just cant wait got myself a blue filter for going out in the snow heard its far better all l need now is snow over here why would it be better .its a lot lighter with snow so you will be seen by the bunnys much the same as a full moon and a lot noisier with the snow frozen under foot you probably dont need a lamp never mind a blue filter Quote Link to post
