shamus 36 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 I fish for a living and easterly winds are well named poverty winds in our job,good for nothing Quote Link to post
ferretville 69 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Would definately say they don`t bolt as good when a cold easterly is blowing . Went down to me mates in lincoln at the weekend and on the sunday it was cold with a easterly blowing and snow blizzards drifting in rabbits just kept on going deeper into the setts extremely reluctant to bolt and that was even with a good number of ferrets in . So needless to say had many a deep dig doh loved it all the same got to take the rough with the smooth aye Quote Link to post

Don't bolt at all mate? or don't bolt as well? I should of explained myself better, when I say dont bolt I meant they are harder to bolt and you end up digging more out than normal!
