clearing around holes

[chilly 59]

going to be taking secateurs and gloves as i have in the past for clearing around holes and getting into thick cover, but i was wondering if any one takes machetes or anything ells out to clear cover ??

folding saw,gloves and secateurs i like useing 4z nets so i try to clear the holes as good as pos

 

imo a machete will make to much noise and hard to swing in bushes

folding saw it is then

if the covers real thick then try and get up a few days before and clear the ones you intend to do. i used to do a farm at the backend of the shooting season that was always thick, i took me petrol strimmer and a blade and done the whole bank the week before my trip.

folding saw and gloves.

Long handled lopers make light work just a bit extra to carry, but vary handy for bramble patches in open fields if you don't have a long net

Often asked if i would clear a bit before ferreting it .sod that I'm no a Gardner if the covers heavy i try to shoot them or net the runs and get them in other burrows . Otherwise a quick tidy up before setting the net
