camies 1 Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 I've just been shown how to purse netting using smoke pellets instead of ferrets to chase the rabbits out. Great fun, highly successful, cheap and easy to do. Smoke generated with plumbers pipe test smoke cartridges. Rabbits bolted from the warren in seconds and I didn't get bitten by an overexcited ferret. Anyone else tried it? 1 Quote Link to post

meinnotts 1 Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 i hope this isn't a wind up because if it is i have been had, but i would love to know if this works before i go out and stock up on smoke bombs, there is no chance of me having ferrets this could be a actual alternative ????

victor 10 Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 i rekon it would only work on a small warren, as smoke rises and deeper the warren the less rabbit will bolt. 1 Quote Link to post
