Well at least that explains why we have not had a single rabbit call this winter. They all hopped a boat for England.

Great job! I wish I had been there. The English countryside is beautiful even in winter.

Here are a couple of videos by one of your countrymen that might come in handy...

How many rabbits do you catch/kill in a season and how long does rabbit season last where you are at ? Is there a daily limit on rabbits there ?

Some years we can take around 4000 rabbits, but if we have had the dreaded myxomatosis numbers are substantially less, there is no close season on rabbits as they are a pest species and no bag limits.
there was a old countrymans saying that you only take rabbits when there is a R in the month, because of breeding, but we have caught rabbits in december full of young

Can you sell them ? I understand there is a decent but limited market for wild game.


Never argue with a fool - they will drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

Which one is you?

If you can't sell them, they'd make GREAT fox bait for your ADC work!

John i'm the good looking one with the hat on!!
MAAA the rock fences are dry stone walls made with no mortar,the area these pictures were taken all the stone is limestone, around home the stone is slate and cobbles, there are thousands of miles of them in the lake district and i have put up a few yards of them myself.they are used to hold stock and mark boundaries.
bad karma, 90% of the rabbits in the picture went to a wildlife park this morning for feeding snow leopards, i can get more money from the game dealer but i look after the wildlife park because i have the pest control contract for them, wild game is now very big in this country.

hope this answers a few questions

How hard is it to get the ferret back in the carrier after it's been running for awhile? How long does the netting last? The rabbits and dogs hit it pretty hard, don't they. The catch is pretty impressive. Thanks for sharing.

Bob

Thanks, the reason i was asking about the rock fences is because i have seen similar fences here in the U.S. They are very old. I don't know of anyone who know's when or why they were built. Some say they were built by homesteader's as a way to dispose of stone's so that the feild's could be cleared. But these fences(walls) that i know of are in steep hill country or small mountain areas. I don't know of any of them that could actually hold any type of live stock because none of them are long enough to make a paddock. After seeing your fences in the picture it makes me wonder if maybe it might have been someone from your country that was here home steading that built them.

In the stone-ridden fields of New England (and other places), the stones removed while preparing a field for crops were numerous. They were used to make low fences/walls and were so well-made - often without mortar - that they have lasted for centuries.
