Seasons coming to a end early for me.


Recommended Posts

Well just gutted the rabbits we got last night with the mutt on the lamp and one of them had 4 developing young inside her.But what bugs me the most about this is the ground we got them from it is very low in numbers.There are probably only about 2 setts being used on the land as they only sit in 2 corners of the field's about 5 meter from the cover where the burrow's are.This was the first successful time taking rabbits from this land as they have been done to death and are very wise.

 

Seems its happening all over the country and all down to the mild winter.

Looks like my ferreting gear will be hung up for now.

Same here mate. Was out for a wander a couple of weeks ago, and there were a few tiny rabbits about. My mate was out at the weekend and had a couple of does with young in 'em. Seems the season is getting shorter and shorter as the weather gets milder. Might do a bit of longnetting as the does can be released if not wanted for the ferrets.Pity though.

Shame about the news Shaun, only had a few cherries low down a few weeks ago, on the upper land they were ok last weekend.

Deffo the mild winter has set them off early, glad to see the respect given to the animals as soon as they start, most just go with the old any month with an R in it line, and then wonder why there's nothing left to hunt. :thumbs:

 

Good on you feller, only another 8 months now matey. :cray:
