smoking rats/rabbits??

[mrcaniplaywithmadness 6]

how do you go about smoking out a hole? what fuel and HOW TO GET IT TO GO DOWN THE HOLE?!?! THANK YOU.

you dont want to be smoking rabbits simply because you cant !!

 

you can make a rat smoker from and old chainsaw/strimmer engine.........with a pipe attached to the exhaust....add some extra oil to the fuel and ....BINGO !!!!!

 

or

 

 

if its only a small rat nest pop a "smoke pellet" in (the type used for testing chimneys)

 

they can be quite effective........even on large nests

Sean you CAN kind of smoke them out, with burning diesel rags, but it's not a great idea. Does work though, but not so much on deep warrens.

the 'smoking rabbits' question does come up on here every now and then

 

This is an old topic on the subject http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/topic/12258-smoking-rabbits/

I've read through that topic and whilst interesting it's not true. Rabbits can be stunk / smoked out of a warren, i have seen it done both to put them all above ground for a rough shooting day with spaniels and also seen someone doing it and shooting them as they flee. It does not work with a smoker, it only works with i think diesel soaked rags, which must create a thick, acrid, oily smoke. Doesn't work well on deep warrens though.

stinking out a warren is exactly that ,nothing to do with smoke,if you saw people shooting rabbits that had been stunk out ,they must have had quite a lot of patience,because it took a few days to work.

Well they were using burning rags, so i guess the smoke may have played a part? All i know is what i saw matey

 

The stinking out for the rough shooting was done the day before and had good results.

Alright mate, funny funny, all i know is that i watched two guys insert burning/smoking something into the holes of a few small warrens, leaving one unblocked and use a pump to drop the rabbits bolting out of that unblocked hole. What i have never understood is why they were doing it and not using a ferret. I'm not claming i have done it and i don't have any reason to lie, or say that, if it wasn't what i had seen.
