9 rabbits out of a fence line. bolted to the longnets.

 

Used 2 hobs & a jill, a lot of hole hopping occured before a good bolt.

 

I thought i only had 8 but as i was picking up a longnet there was a rabbit sitting by a peg unknown to me.

I've had a seventeen bolt from one earth a few years back. It was quite a large earth dug into a disused railway enbankment. It was hectic to say the least. We enterd a ferret at each end and all hell broke loose. Most were netted, a couple were taken by the lurchers that had followed behind the ones that had hit the nets and one got away scot free. I think the total bag for that day was around fortynine, something like that anyway, I don't really remember.

Last year while ferreting around the lakes I dug to a ferret and extracted fourteen rabbits from a stop end. Trenching along with the aid of my old dog to show which way to go when I lost the route of the tunnel through cave ins. I was totally knackerd at the end of it so we called it a day with twenty in the bag. Heres the end result of all the diggin'.

I can remember when I first started ferreting many years ago,my mate

and I covered 10 holes with purse nets then entered a young polecat

coloured hob.

 

A couple of minutes later a stoat exited one of the holes in a hurry

Well after that we didn't expect any rabbits to be at home.We were

wrong,the young hob worked his way through the bury bolting 11 rabbits

in the next hour

 

I've had 29 from one massive warren but the 11 I got with the young hob

was far more memorable.

Most of the burrows on my ground are empty by the time the season arrives even though their full all summer and your lucky if theres more than 2 most of the time . I've had about 7 though whe i've been on the town centre golf course, 3 of them out of a stop end.

This year on new ground will be different though

Had 46 from one warren and went back the following day and had another 22, this was a warren with well over 100 holes, dropped three ferrets in and waited nearly an hour before they started moving. Unfortunatley days like these are long gone now
