Have You a Favorite Warren

[Country Joe 1,411]

I have found a warren in new permission, that i can park my car next to,

Its a six holer, easy to net, have done it twice, the first time I bolted six Rabbits in 10 mins,

returned today and bolted five, in about the same time, never needed to dig.

wish they were all like that,

Had one dig later, not good, came across a very small young Rabbit, had one in young last week, but this is the first, baby rabbit i have come across.

Sorry no photos, forgot to take the Camera.

done this one a few times,, its one i look forward to when we are on this farm,, its a pile of boulders behind a barn,, at first glance you would think feck that,, but the tunnels are just underneath the rocks and you can usualy see the action,,, it usualy holds a few,, think we had 10 the first time

yep gotta 20 + holer in the middle of a field not very deep always get a few out of it and it gives the dogs a sporting chance

[DeepEarth 104]

Always holds 1 or 2...

Got one in the middle of a paddock that we had 32 out of when it was about a 7 holer, not a nettle or bramble in sight. It's about a dozen holes now and never as productive as that first time but normally holds a couple.

I pefer the ones in the middle of a blackthorn hedge none of this easy pessy open field warrens .

 

I dont thinkI have fav warren but have a fav farm where the curies are all on nice chalk downland there deep with alot of steps in the chalkline in the subsoil .

 

Such wonderful views when working but the coneys have been hit with mixy and vhd to point of not worth hunting just letting the few build to havestable level.

Have an old old sweet chestnut stump on a paddock it sits in the fence and act as an entrance and exit to the property allways holds good numbers , easy start to the day and allways action ,

We have a few. I quite like the one in my garden

Not a favourite warren but a secret place. I reckon most of us who ferret when we come upon a good piece of ferreting ground try to keep it to ourselves.

[Ideation 8,216]

There is a gully near me, on one of my farms. Johnnyboy and i often go there and i take the dog and ferret there myself quite a lot. Its very narrow at one end, but opens out into a wide bowl. There are maybe a dozen warrens in it of varying size, and usually on any one day a couple of them will hold, and you will find one or two above ground. It's a pleasant place to spend and hour away from the world.

Got a warren about 20 holes in the middle of 3 massive warrens 2 of which are not on my permission it's always good for a few rabbits it seem's to keep filling up from the big ones

[CWN-HELA 228]

Any warren that holds a rabbit. Up my way its hard to find an easy warren with no snags in the way, either black thorn, brambles, sheep wire, barbed wire.
