bit of springtime sport

[Rabbithunter 456]

Set around about 30 wires this morning with DEL.

 

Set off about 7ish, seen all sorts of wildlife, Roe Deer, (dead) wild polecats :whistle: woody's plenty of bunnies.

 

We were setting pegged snares on tram lines, couldnt use the hoops as the ground was very stoney and was hard enough to hold pegs anyway.

 

Also set about 7 fence wires along the a fence on the side of field. Some cracking sets.

 

And we set 5 pegged snares in the wood at the bottom of the field

how did you go?

well lads, havent been on computer for a while, i have had my hands full in the means of a lurcher pup.

 

No photo's - sorry, but

 

i caught a few rabbits in the wires, a think a fox had been working the field as some of my snares had been pulled out the ground - about 4 (and the pegs were well in - and i was using marker pins!!!!!!!!!)

 

Caught a 3/4 grown bunny on a nice little beat just as the run comes off the tram line and towards the wood, and one i was chuffed about was a beat just before the bunnies jump down a banking, on a fence line - remember the one DEL???)

 

Also had a cock pheasant in a fence wire - it wasnt intended to cause harm or capture to pheasants, but mistakes do happen as we all know

Yeah remember the one mate,hows the pup doing?

[Rabbithunter 456]

the pups doing as well as can be expected. Just been taken from its mother & its mates, so whimpering & twining a bit, just keeping it in the lane till it gets settled down.

 

I shall take some photo's soon
