stevethefish 80 Posted January 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Well done once again Steve and your Bunny busting crew.....good RELIABLE Lads are hard to find.....plenty talk about it......but rarely practice what they preach.....guard these RELIABLE Lads with your life Your right about the Rabbits in smaller Warrens.....you can cover alot more ground filling the Bag alot quicker than Ferreting the big sprawling places. Out in the morning.....just a mop up job.....had some cracking days on this spot but sadly, you can only catch them once. A few have moved in from the surrounding area and the Farmer wants them gone......so, i will have a mooch and Ferret what ever the Dog marks Just waiting to get on a few places with the Shoots finished......should have a few good weekends sport before the season finishes Yes mate got you, I am the same the game shoots limit the land at present but not long to go now, the dogs are the unrewarded ones at this game, cant wait till stevo's tilly is back she makes life so easy, good dogs are the key at this game. Sorry if I am going on just been out for a few beers with my mate who came down from Sheffield, miss them all loads. Quote Link to post

NEWKID 27,713 Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 nice one seen any signs of them carrying young yet We had 4 out of 11 carrying young yesterday, the seasons getting shorter and shorter. They must be mating when there's a foot of snow on the ground. Quote Link to post

Its getting like that more and more they breed all year round in the right locations, we had some half grown ones the other day so when were they born? Quote Link to post

I suppose being right down in the south west it maybe a little warmer than up north but the last 2 winters have been as cold as i can remember, so is it just the rabbits that have evolved to breed no matter what the time of year or temp Quote Link to post
