Crow 1 Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 (edited) Never seen the barbed wire trick, in fact I've never seen the bramble trick work in real life either! Edited April 6, 2008 by Crow Quote Link to post
leegreen 2,139 Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 (edited) To be honest steve i would rather dig that bit farther, i try to be more respectful of the rabbit and trying to extract them with barbed wire seems a bit hit or miss and even callous in my humble opinion, and furthermore giving these ideas to younger members of the forum isn't setting a good example, my opinion only i maybe wrong. Yes my thoughts exactly doesn't quite seem right to wind a piece of barbed wire in a rabbits fur, vermin or not. sorry Stubby Edited April 6, 2008 by leegreen Quote Link to post
gilly-93 31 Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 personly i fink its a good idea but i dont agree with choping barbed wire off. is it like you see on rspca programs were they put a hoop round somethings nech and pull it tight. that would be good aswell. Quote Link to post

Scuzy 1 Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 I dont like the idea of cutting the fence up on my farms id rather just dig a bit further or something especially if the rabbits still alive i wouldnt want to stick barbed wire into it! Quote Link to post

TOMO 25,697 Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 alot of arguing on this little thread the barb wire trick does work but usualy on the ones that are dead. thought to my self a few times to carry a bit round with me, but usualy just get it from the nearest fence. Now befor you lot stone me i get a bit thats surplas to requirments, i dont go hacking the farmers fence to bits . theres usualy a spare bit , thats either going rusty, and a new bit in place , but the old stuff aint been removed. now im sure on masterhunters adverts he has somthing he calls twisters , which i presume to be somthing along similar lines Quote Link to post

The one 8,437 Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Where do you toe the line with all the extra's you take??? .My favourite type of ferreting is a few nets or the shotgun and a ferret and keep moving and if a ferret gets a couple of rabbits in a dead end or a rabbit moves as you break into the tube i use a bramble and just leave a few thorns on the last six inches or a stick .But i only use them to check theres a rabbit there by getting a bit of hair on the stick or the brambles them i will dig a bit more and pull the rabbit out .The old barbwire trick was best used when liner ferrets where in use but i think its rarely used today Quote Link to post

stubby 175 Posted April 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 great picture, its a shame people feel the need to blank out faces, exspecialy on rabbit pictures, when they are classed as vermin Quote Link to post
