Guest basil46 Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 My dad showed me the bramble / barbed wire trick about 40 years ago. I personally would use a bramble, it snags the fur easily and you don`t have to carry it around with you. basil. Quote Link to post

inan 841 Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 the bit of bramble trick, to find a stopped up rabbit does work,so barbed wire could do the same,but barbed wire to extract a rabbit you'll notice, if you read all the post's, I was mistaken on watching the dvd, thinking that it was used to get live rabbits out, on re-watching the dvd, it's clear they are using it to reach, dead rabbits, killed by the ferts at the very end of a stop end, after reaching and removing a couple of live ones by hand Poor old Stubby ,he floats what he thinks might be a good idea across the forum and they come down on him like a terrier on a bolted rat,there's more people on here ready to tear you to bits than there are willing to post their days out,like a pack of dogs ,waiting for one to fall so they can pounce on it.

nrat 8 Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 i cant belive all the shit on this thread, to all you internet hunters let me tell you again , its not a myth, and its not even a new idea, its been done for generations, by lots of ferreters. but like i said erlier its easy done on dead rabbits. all stubby has done , is up-date it slightly with the holder , and as far as respect goes , i love rabbiting and all wild life and would never intentionaly injure any animal. what is it with this site, people have opinios on things they have never seen or even tryed. just because they havent done it they think it cant be done i will agree with you on that one tomo,i was using wire and bramles 25yrs ago,yes were not all teenagers?? ie dog rose or rose hip brambles are best longer spikes and stronger stems and by gentley twisting you can wind it a long way down a hole,obvously dead rabbits come out easier than live rabbits,the same as if pulling rabbits out a stop end some rabbits take a lot of pulling out,as for just dig a bit further try that when the earth is going under a road or thick hedge bottom,easier to use the wire or bramble in some cases,stubby has stated he takes his wire with him,so why will he be losing his permission,and in years gone by when farmers pumped gas down holes,they certainly woudnt be chasing you off for using a bit of wire,nor would many now,so stick with it stubby,you wont get rich selling bits of twisty wire but you will keep the farmers happy killing rabbits,and when the occasion arrises use your wire it works, Quote Link to post
stubby 175 Posted April 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 well, this topic certainly stirred things up, if anyone read the first post, they will realise it was something I had seen, and copied making, along with a safe way of carrying, but had not yet used it, in the field, yes, I had described its use wrongly, but on re-checking, relaided on, that it was used on dead rabbits, rather than alive one's but look at the amount of hits, this one topic has seen, over one thousand,three hundred so, just to let everyone that has left a comment, good or bad know, it will keep its place on my longnet basket, and should the need ever arise to use it, to retrive an out of reach, dead rabbit, then I'll have it to hand, and use it Quote Link to post

gsi2000stokie 5 Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 if a copper saw it he would do you for carrying an offencive weapon dont need to give them another reason to piss you about. YIS Pritch granted, if someone was caught carrying that around on its own, the police may have something to say about it, but if your carrying that, plus all your other ferreting gear, plus in my case my BPCA card, proving Im a bona-fide pest controller, then I doubt they would even ask :clapper: Quote Link to post
