micky 3,325 Posted September 4, 2020 Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 I went to a field yesterday for a look round and i saw over 20 Black Rabbits as well as the normal kind , i went back this morning with a camera to see if i could get a picture an though i saw 10 the were very skittish all i have to do now is finding a way of catching them because the job will be much harder than it looks 3 Quote Link to post

Aussie Whip 4,111 Posted September 5, 2020 Report Share Posted September 5, 2020 The rare time I've seen black rabbits when ferreting the dogs seemed to get more excited about catching them and put in extra effort,the racist mutts,lol. Quote Link to post

The Field is L shaped with a total length of 600 yards by 45 width with three sides walled , there are major well lit roads either side , there are no holes to be seen as the Rabbits run straight into the walls , there are no runs visible as yet and i dont want to make any until i see a little traffic . ....... over to you lot ??????

I assume the walls themselves are where the rabbits are living and they are unferretable? I don’t have any walls in my neck of the woods so they are all new to me! Quote Link to post
