FUBAR 0 Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Unless I've misunderstood you I would start off by netting up quieter and stand down wind of the burrows while waiting for the ferrets to bolt the rabbits Quote Link to post
Malt 379 Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Unless I've misunderstood you I would start off by netting up quieter and stand down wind of the burrows while waiting for the ferrets to bolt the rabbits Good point! Are you doing things right when the ferret is in the hole? You know, things like staying dead quiet, staying out of view of the holes, not smoking, not walking round etc. No disrespect intended though! Quote Link to post
