bigbailey 90 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Got some new permission last week so went along a few days ago and bolted 5. Went back today and did 8 sets with nothing all at home. Fresh droppings everywhere but all warrens deserted. Theres getting less and less rabbits around this way. Quote Link to post

gnipper 6,571 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 You need a marking dog mate, feck netting loads of empty holes. Did you walk past any shitty looking holes that looked empty? You'd be surprised sometimes when out with the dog its only the dead looking holes full of leaves that they mark. Quote Link to post

derbylad1 293 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 A good marking dog is worth its weight in gold. If its good, trust it...if ya dog dont mark, then don't put the ferret to ground. If your ground is lacking that much in rabbits, maybe put some extra time into gaining more permission, especially in july/august when the rabbit numbers are at their biggest problem. Baigbailey...It says your in Staffordshire, wheres abouts? i might have some ground you can run your dogs on. if your not too far away Quote Link to post
