andy s410c 60 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Headed out this morning to do the top quarry bank which is just a large sets of burrows along it.Greeted to no wind & sunshine.As i approached the first set the top corner of the quarry was alive with rabbits running for cover & i watched a few of them run into the sets i was going to do.I ran the longnet around the first lot of 20+ holes & put a few purse nets randomly around.I entered the hob & small jill after a few mins 1 in the longnet I moved further along the bank & ran the longnet around the mass of holes on the bank & purse netted under a tree & random holes.I put the adult jill in under the tree & bagged 2 from there .Further along the bank i put the 2 young ferts in & they bolted one each into the longnet I had 5 in the bag so i was very happy with the ferrets work. I made my way down into the bottom of the quarry & ran the net around a small set under a tree & large boulders,i grabbed a spot of lunch & after a break i put the hob in,he killed in but i couldn't attempt the 4ft dig due to the tree roots & a large boulder in the way I moved across the quarry bottom to a 15+ holer,ran the longnet round it & put the 3 ferts in but no-one at home. It was after 2pm now so i called it a day.I'm getting better with managing the quickset around awkward places & i'm happy with my first 3 rabbits i've took with it.End of photo for yous.
