[caterpiller 10]

Just watched it, shame there was'nt a bit more of the Ferreting Footage. Some very good points made there by James and the ' Two Oldies'. Ferreted with them and spoke to them a few times whilst at James', to cracking Fella's, Ferreting Mad James thought he was in a Fashion Shoot with his shades on etc.....

yea seen it was good.Not so sure about sticking cages to catch bolting rabbits.It obviously works though.

[Guest bigredbusa]

Cages do work..........but nets are better.........in my opinion

in the oz dvd, they say they use the cages, rather than a purse net, as its possible to get more than one rabbit in them, sometimes two or three, where a purse net is only catching one,

 

as for countryfile, thought it was ok, till that doctor bird started sprouting on about how rabbits help nature/butterflies etc, more fueling for the anti's

I did remind you all yesterday

[Rolfe 2]

it's not always practical or possible to place cages in certain situations........IE hedgerow buries thick with brambles. But in open buries they can and do work. My main concern is the sheer bulk of the damn things to carry about during a days ferreting.........nets are far more versatile.

the point is that if the ferret dosent come out and its undiggable the cage will catch the ferret i think so you can leave them there for the night

i think anyway

 

no mate thats not the reason, they are used in arkward places, eg if your alone and working a hedgerow , put the cages the other side.

 

or on the sides of rail ways or roads, , this way you wont have ferrets runnig off unsighted or getting sqished,
