[Andrew Russ 31]

It's gotta be getting toward the end of October for me.

 

I don't mind lamping while it's still warm-ish but I hate ferreting in it. Sweating, flies all around you, nettles at large. Feck that.

Ill start some of the more open areas on my perms now, nothing to serious until it cools down a bit, hoping for a proper cold winter this year.

Went dogging in the pheasants earlier and saw quite a few three quarter grown rabbits about, got my juices flowing a bit, but I think I'll give them another month at least

Hopefully start over the next couple of weeks to scratch the itch and get stung to bits.Every year I do it to remind myself that next year I should start a little later when winter kicks in. Just havent developed the patience to wait. After a hard breeding season with the canaries and finch I do be mad to get stuck in. Get well stuck in when the weather gets cold. Good luck to everyone and have a great season

First frosts that knock down the nettles and a bit of the cover, if anything urgent crops up before then, I'll shoot it instead.

A few of you have mentioned waiting until the cover dies back which I can understand but with the winters we have these days it makes a short season doesn't it? If Id waited last year for the cover to die down I wouldn't have started until December, then the rabbits breeding in January/February means if I was after perfect conditions Id only get a couple of months, then theres the landowners getting impatient.

 

These days I try to work around the cover and soldier on into February regardless of baby rabbits and pregnant does.

Had a few wee looks on the farms and some places I'm going to give a shot at by the end of the month
