Rabbiting man 1,192 Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Its not the best weather in the rain not many rabbits will bolt but go out and see how you get on and let us know how you got on Quote Link to post
Ideation 8,216 Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Wind is more of a problem, often slows bolts as they can't hear/smell outside. . . . but they still come out eventually. Quote Link to post
Lab 10,979 Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Of course they do......choosing between getting wet or a ferret hanging of your arse is not much of a choice for them.... Quote Link to post
rob190364 2,594 Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 just leave a few little brollies near to each exit so they can grab one as they run past seriously though, I've never found either wind or rain to be a problem, the only problem I've found with wind is the ball ache of it blowing the nets about sometimes but even that's not that bigger deal. If anything I prefer ferreting in the rain because there's less people about to mither you. Quote Link to post
B.P.R 2,798 Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Wait until Sunday and I'll hold a brolly for you so you don't get wet. Quote Link to post

stealthy1 3,964 Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Stick to some high ground and you should be sound, never seen rabbits sitting out in the rain for fear of drowning, only draw back is the amount of mud you take home if you have a nice dig, but they say its good for your skin, good luck Quote Link to post
