scothunter 12,609 Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 no need for a priest to kill rabbits mate.and even if you didnt want to kill one with your own hand no need to buy one.any old stick would do the job.ie the shaft of a hammer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ideation 8,216 Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Like and civilized ferreter I do, his name is Jeff and he's pretty handy, the rabbits do seem to taste better after having their last rites. I found him hanging about my local primary school. I did try using a Rabbi for a while but he kept tangling the nets. . . . not very kosher at all. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RicW 67 Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Depends. I find black rabbits die happier if I use an Imam. Calls 'em to prayer, they bow towards Mecca, and whack. Ric Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neal 1,873 Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 I keep a priest in the bag as a "just in case the rabbit's completely tangled up that I can't stretch it." However, I've never needed to use it. Incidentally, it's holly which is very slow growing and therefore more dense and if I remember correctly, I think it may have been the bottom end of a walking stick I cut near Sticklepath in Devon.

shepp 2,285 Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 I find it quicker to pull there necks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ideation 8,216 Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 The only reason i use a priest is when i'm ferreting alone and a large number of rabbits are hitting the nets, i pull the net, whack the rabbit and throw it back still in the net, setting another. Saves the seconds it takes to pull them out and stretch them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
