Good fun........... You been on that field by the round-a-bout yet?.........its fecking lifting with rabbits. Quote Link to post

stubby 175 Posted May 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 so, put my first lot of snares out on thursday evening, my permission is a football pitch, fenced, surrounded by parkland, at first I was hoping to be able to snare the fence, but due to the thickness of the bushes that run along it, this was impossible, hence I made some tealers, placed 30 down, on the runs that were coming from under the bushes, these snares need to be placed and lifted the next morning, as its a public area of a daytime. well on pickup, very poor results, one rabbit snared, and the early morning crows had, had a pick at him, one snare missing, inc tealer, just the peg left, but fur everywhere, so Im thinking fox, and that was it, the only good thats really come from this, apart from introducing me to snares, Is I got permission to catch the rabbits by any means, barring shooting, myself,magwitch and ferreter216 tried ferreting the area last week, and only took 4 rabbits, again due to the thick undergrowth, thats also evergreen, so it wont be better come autumn live catch traps I didnt feel comfortable leaving on site, as a bridleway runs across it, and I could see them going walkies, and after the poor result with snares (even though first time) they have ok'd shooting, so off there tonight to see if we can get better results Quote Link to post
