Whos stopped for the season...

[IanB 0]

I've only been out ferreting a handfull of times this season, nothing compared to previous years, and was planning on a couple of days before the end of season...which got me wondering, how many of you have called it quits for the rabbiting this year already...?

[Tarmac 1]

its the same for me ian, hardly been out with the ferrets this season compared to previously, hopefully i'll get out before it draws to an end. :wacko: .............

Stopped?!! christ, i never got started...the rabbit situation round here is very bleak. went ferreting the other monday for nearly four hours and caught nothing. !!! i wish i lived where there is more game, but i dont! i hope that the bunnies bounce back this summer and the dreaded myxi stays well away....JD

[MikeTheDog 153]

Still going strong but not long to go methinks ...tis a lot warmer down here on the coast by a couple of degree's at least I've had the no bag days also JD :wacko:

RABBITS, thin on the ground in a lot of area,s, some thing strange going on i thinks.

Were very fortunate down here to have plenty to go at, once again this season.

Weve had no Blank days at all, and to be honest i cant even remember us not gettiong double figures.

Were more or less finished now and november was the only month this season that we never either had a doe in kit,or a drummer bolt. There basicaly breeding all year round now .

[Guest Pat]

I havent hardly done any ferreting this season havent even tryed entering the ferrets I bred in the summer yet and my hands havent be hurting with grazes and thornes in them like last season when I came back from ferreting me and my mate caught quite a few rabbits but we been mostly mooching this season.

[Guest LEARNER]

GOING TO THE DALES THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, WILL BE SLEEPING IN THE CARAVAN ON FARM, MIGHT BE A BIT COLD AS IT AS NO WINDOWS AS SUCH, MY MATE AND I ,HAVE THINNED THE RABBITS TO THE BAREST MINUMUN, SO THE 2 DAYS PLANNED , MAY BE THE LAST SERIOUS TRIP UP THERE, UNLESS SOME NEW GROUND CROPS UP, BUT ALL IN ALL , THE GROUND WILL BE LEFT AFTER , TO GIVE IT RECOVERY TIME FOR NEXT SEASON .

[Guest Spike 70]

I think we might get a couple more weeks now its turned a bit cold down here....we wont stop untill mid march at least....too many rabbits

[Guest Ash]

I know its not rabbits but i have finnished with the deer. It has been an ok year and will hold off now till the bucks come in. IT will now be a major blitz on the fox population round here got to keep the farmers happy. So its away with the .270 and my wee babby will be out now this is a gun to be proud of

[Guest Jack Sparrow]

Hopefully might get a couple more sessions in, been a good season, plenty of rabbits, like lamper says most of my bags have been double figures, its just running with the things where i live, finding it hard to get on top of them, but just about managed it i think, i'll be starting whith the air rifle soon, because unfortunatly my permission has to be kept up all year round,

But already looking forward to next season, as i always do this time of year.

I ve just about decided to pack it in, unless i get called out, ferreting yesterday on the shoot, but fourty eight nets laid, five warrens in total, all were full of babies, the ferret killed twice, so i'm gonna leave till october.

[Guest Geordie]

Im not stopping really,my bitch lost too much time in her first season,gonna keep on as long as i can find farmers who want em cleared out.Will probably cut back a bit on what she is doing,but not so much that she cant keep picking up the basics.

[Smudge 0]
