Cornio 0 Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Went out on Sunday for a couple of hours and did a couple of small(ish) burys. The signs were there - fresh tracks and droppings, but no rabbits. My question is: Is the weather too mild and causing the rabbits to lay up in the hedges rather than being down their holes?

stubby 175 Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 luck of the draw I reckon, did a few small holers last sunday, getting 3's and 4's from each, did another large warren the day after and got 2 Quote Link to post
sikastag_1 689 Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 i normally let the dogs off no matter where im ferreting if its possible just incase mate i think like stubby said its probably just your luck, because theres fresh droppings etc doesnt mean theres anything using it though.

victor 10 Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 ive found warrens with no poo or claw marks or any signs of rabbits, but i know thay are in there it is just because the rain compacts the mounds. i just know if something is in there. eith the dog will tell me if not it will smell like their piss. but then again. some dayts ill botl 10 and go home and outhers spend a whole day on one warren and get feck all.
