Maybe try knocking them on the head with a priest, some people find this easier. When ferreting i tend to grab them by the body and give them one quick chop at the neck, as its easier to do this than stretch a neck in the net.

Nothing to be embaressed about .

Pick the rabbit up by it's back legs, let the ears fall forward and give it a good whack ,with a priest, where the backs of the ears join the head, that's it....game over bunny

Well done you, for not letting pride get in the way. Better to ask, and get the job done right

A good tip is to practise on a rabbit that is already dead . If you take this to the next stage you could skin a rabbit( leave the back legs on so you have something to grip) so that you have a good idea of the anatomy and can be aware of exactly the angle to hold the head and amount of downward pressure needed to dislocate the neck .

It really is not a matter of strength at all ( forget the effort that Bear Grylls put into it - very dramatic .) No need for twisting or yanking . Hold the back legs ,grasp the head, bend the head at right angles to the spine. All that is needed is a confident downward movement of the hand holding the head .You will feel the neck dislocate. As Said . Practise on a few dead ones until you are happy with the result .

Once you are confident you will be able to get the same result by holding the rabbit's shoulders rather than the back legs . Very usefull if the rabbit is tightly meshed and you can't stretch it out .

Hope this helps

Ive got a mate whos 30 and has been ferreting with me for 2 seasons now and he cant kill a rabbit to save his life! Ive showed him a hundred times exactly how even had him practice on dead rabbits and hes still bloody useless. The look of amazement on his face when i pick up a netted rabit and drop it stone dead 2 secs later always makes me laugh. Just practice on already dead rabbits untill you have the knack, its very easy once you have done it a few times. Its not a matter of muscle power, more knowing how to do it.

one ov the young lads near me had a similar problem he wasent strong enough to brake there necks and he came up with a solution to his problem he tied to loops in a peice ov rope then slip it through its self put ti round the rabbits neck then put the other loop around your boot and simply 1 sharp hard pull on the back legs normally dose the job said the youngen ive seen him do it and it dose work

I have a hard time doing the priest being a smaller woman so I hold it in the net and do something like the chinning but twist to the side and back very far around. It's good and dead quite quick.

ive also seen this done, its a good method for a begginer but personally dont think its quick enough. but as long as its a good clean kill fair play.
