The rabbiting season is more or less amongst us.
There's still too much undergrowth about for comfortable ferreting but there will be plenty of 3/4 to full grown plump bunnies about.
Who are the bunny bashers out there ? and have you started yet ?
Weather and wife permitting I'll have my first forray out with the lamp this weekend !
Good hunting and good eating. I'm going to have a bash with the long net this winter as well.

The lamp being for your lurcher thats scared of the dark then??
Do the borders hunt? I think mine are too well fed on rats to rabbit - well stocked with rat bait but daren't put it out as dogs keep catching the rats ( and terriers eat the damn things......)
Haven't seen a rabbit but plenty of hares - are they mutually exclusive?
It's something I have thought about but have never done. I don't have a guna nd wouldn't know where to start in getting one. I have 2 dogs but they are pets, is it possible for them to be taught to hunt as well?, though I asssume they then wouldn't be as safe around small furry pets? think I'd like to go along with someone and see whats, what, if you see what I mean?

Put me down on you invites list, if I may be so bold
Plus I should be able to deal with the lampshy ones......I don't use a lamp anymore....

I thought I did.
But it looks like I didn't.
I certainly meant to.
I remember typing it.
I also remember being hassled off the P.C. by Whitelegg2 to help get Whitelegg's 3&4 to bed!
Must have deleted without sending.
Or there are darker forces at work
Pete
Hope that makes it clearer.

It's a shame you're so far away from Pricey, if there's any way you could make the trip, it's well worth it. We went down last time and it was really educational and great fun! The bunny stew was very good too We'll be up for it again Pricey, unless you have lots of people, and then we'll bow out and let others have a go.
not much chance of me making the trip this time round. pretty expensive and babies due in 4 weeks. am having another home birth but I think woods birth might be taking it too far but we are looking to move in the next few year down pricey's so its apossibility for the future
