Tiercel 6,986 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Them dales bunnys can be a good size certainly a little bigger than down here in the east mids I had been ferreting down in pembrokeshire quite a few years ago and still had some ribbits hanging up in their skins. A mate called he was on his way home after a weekend hawking in the dales he still had rabbits in their coat in the van. every rabbit he had was at least a good pound in weight heavier than the rabbits I had hanging up, some of the bucks were even bigger. Many years ago I remember talking to Fred Taylor he was the hawking club president. He told me the biggest rabbit he ever caught was from the dales and its front teeth had grown through the top of the rabbits mouth and the rabbit was living by sucking on the algi growing in the drainage ditches. The rabbit weighed in at over 4.5lb ungutted. TC Quote Link to post
