If you don't have to travel far and got spare time go to the perm the day before and try cutting it all back abit on the sets which your going to be working. Myself I havnt got the luxury of holes in the middle of open fields so my hands are always like I've been in an argument with a cat lol. Atb Adam

lol yea I know. That wouldn't work for me I am more of a 1 rabbit here 1 there type mission. The dog either finds them tucked away in a hole some where or flushes and puts them to ground

[ollieollie 766]

I've got a couple of small Open warrens to get the ball rolling until the cover dies back, it's just a matter of patience or possibly the lack of! Can't wait

If the cover doesnt die back and you cant get to the holes, can you not just use longnets? And keep a watchful eye out for the ferret?

Half the time rabbits just hole hop as the feel safe with the cover ,

I half agree but I think having a break keeps you interested, the anticipation and planning and all that

[Bobtheferret 1,248]

I think having the summer break is good, gets you nice and keen for it after a summer of waiting. Gives the rabbits a chance to multiply and breed some ferrets

I always can't wait to start but it all fits quite well for me, at the end of the season I start fishing. Then about now I start foraging for fungi and mushrooms, this is a good one as you can look around your perms have a chat with the farmers show your face ask whats about etc. Then get home have a mix of mushroom and smoky bacon on toast an cup of tea talk about how many rabbits we think are there and what burrows their in, or if we should have a crack at pigeons on the stubble.

I so agree with you mate if you are not sure do not eat it. I started slowly may be one sort each year, But things like giant puff balls, Hedge hog mushrooms you can't go wrong, safer than field mushrooms, and horse mushrooms are great as long as they don't bruises yellow. Worth getting into I promise you, For years I bought books on mushrooms but never had the nerve to try. I'm an old bugger now but wish i'd got into it years ago could have made a living out of it. Love it now finding things like chanterelles and ceps on ground i've ferreted all my life.
