bornhunter82 6 Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Maybe your starting to early in the year mate. If the cover still up and still a little warm they more. Than likely sat out . Stupid question but are you using a dog to mark the warrens ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lurcherman1981 0 Posted November 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 no just the ferrets as my dogs dont like the ferrets at all. ive just had a 3/4 whippet 1/4 collie to bring up as a ferreting dog. ye thats what i thaught about the cover ive seen the rabbits run up towards the land owners house but cant find any holes in that area im gona give it another go the weekend see what happens thanks for the reply Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The one 8,509 Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 You need to check that place at different times and see if theres rabbits there then. Maybe the rabbits are coming from another field ect and you would get them with snares or a rifle when ferreting doesnt work ,But a marking dogs the easiest way to see if there rabbits in the burrows Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lurcherman1981 0 Posted November 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 yes i totaly agree. you tend to see the rabbits there mostley when its dark with the lamp. ill keep checking over there and try and see whats what thanks for your comments. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bornhunter82 6 Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 No probs mate need that pup to bond some how be easier in the long run. Like the guy said could be from different fields. I've found them under hay feeders boxbodies even in the dry stone walls under a bath und ond one 3 foot up a old tree stump so like said dog is a must really. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
