Matt 160 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 You will find that most professional rabbit catchers use the chinning method while the rabbit is in the net. As for Karate chops......... save it for the playground. Quote Link to post
TOMO 26,361 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 so long as the rabbit is killed humanily thats the main thing but let me just say , a rabbit does NOT need its head through the mesh to chin you can do it whilst its balled up and if your in public view , it is farm more profesional looking than either the strech or a priest, now im not saying the strech or a prist aint quik , just saying what looks best when being watched. the thing is with chinning is its a real nack to doing it, and is very difficult to teach, Quote Link to post

Leeview 791 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Id say its easier to grab under chin and pushed head backwards, but prefer stretching myself Cant for the life of me see how that works? can you explain or put a pic up? Y.I.S Leeview Quote Link to post

Y.I.S Leeview streching the rabbit as in holding back legs with one hand, other hand with fingers under chin, pull and twist, rather than chinning, having said that, someone has posted a link to a u tube ferreting clip, that shows "chinning" on all the rabbits, so I'll certainly be trying this method on tomorrows ferreting trip, as others have said, it certainly looks easier/better if public present Quote Link to post

As for Karate chops......... save it for the playground. i was shown from a very young age the old karate chop so i stuck with it untill recently but the thing with the chop it dos not work first time every time now ive been shown how to strech them i stick to it as it works 99% of the time atb Quote Link to post

Penda 3,341 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I tried to chin a rabbit once the bugger got the better of me and put me in hospital dont mess with the general Quote Link to post
tony d 0 Posted January 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 well lads tried the chinning method today and it works a treat. the rabbit had just bolted in to the net as i picked it up it started to scream just as some dog walkers were walking down the trail that goes through one of the fields, i thought please bloody work!(thank god i was not about to do the karate chop!!!!!!!!!) and it did first time i laid it on the floor and then the walkers decided to try to give me a lecture about animal cruelty etc etc so i explained to them politely that its not cruel etc then another rabbit bolted so said my goodbye's(yeah right) and proceeded to chin another one. so thanks for your advice on this method its another string to the bow in dispatching our quarry quickly and cleanly cheers tony Quote Link to post
swanseajack 227 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I just looked on You tube, there's one on there 'ferreting the mega warren' have a look at them chinning all there catches in the nets... Quote Link to post
para1 11 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I always chin in the net and stretch a dog retrieve.When chining they do scratch with the back feet if you're not careful, bloody hurts. Tried chinning a very wet dog retrieve one night and my hand slipped sideways under the chin,left me with a deep cut and bled like a pig in the rain.One thing when chinning you must hold it tight by the throat as if to cut of the air and a quick positive push back with the chin.All takes a split second. Hope this helps P1 Quote Link to post
trappa 518 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Quite coincidentally i was just shown chinning today!!!! Ive always stretched them and never had a problem but ive been out all day with an absolute top lad, and i asked him about how he was necking them as i hadnt seen it before. he showed me and i tried it and found it to be much easier than stretching their necks.
