ferreting large warrens 46 removed

[@m.b.5839]

Nice to see you still have some rabbits left in the UK. In the Netherlands I guess that 98% of wild rabbits have died because of myxomatosis and RHD. We are not even allowed to shoot them since 2022. I read somewhere that American rabbits (cottontails) are NOT susceptible to myxomatosis. In the north of Italy cottontail rabbits were released in the sixties, and the numbers are growing there.

[@cumbriahunter]

Yes my worry is that RHD wipes them out here aswell. We've seen a massive decline and I hate to be ast to clear land of the wild rabbits I'd much rather control them . We could see England the same in the next few years ☹️

Watching this brings back memories of times long ago Ferreting here in Cornwall...definitely a decline in Rabbit numbers here since those days tho. 👍

Brilliant video. He's as good as a lurcher around those long nets! 😅👌

[@cumbriahunter]

Cheers mate 👍 Yea I don't like them spinning the nets so I run all over 🤣 .

[@michaelcleaver402]

Yes can't beat long nets stop nets beats using purse nets. I love using them when you get used to. Using them I got 400 yards long nets 16 stop nets. Great so good hunting lads.

[@cumbriahunter]

100% mate I used to be purse nets all the way but like you say once you get used to them there much better. You notice a difference especially when you have a few bolt out of 1 hole . I stops all the walking over the sets aswell because I hate that and shouting. I try to do it as little as I can bit sometimes it's hard haha . Cheers for the comment pal hopefully some more good footage uploading soon 👍

I really don't understand why U guys in UK dig for your Ferrets so much. Unless there blocked in I don't. Which is rare over in Australia U can't dig our soil anyway. Ferret usually digs his way past. I can't remember the last time I've dug our Ferrets kill and move on which is a trait. Don't breed stickers. Good vid

[@cumbriahunter]

I have different ferrets for different jobs my hobs tend to stick with a rabbit depending on how hungry he is depends on how long he'll sit . My Jill's tend to just push the surface rabbits out then the rest will go to ground it takes my big hob a couple of minutes to kill a rabbit so I like to get down to him kind of quick so he knows I'm always coming and he waits also he might not want to sit with it and I don't like to leave them suffering inside the set . I find it good practice for my ferrets to dig to them so they always know I've got there back , they expect me to be digging. And plus I've had a block end with 10 rabbits in before and 5+ multiple times. Makes it easier with soft ground mind you 🤣. Thanks for the comments mate I really appreciate any questions or comments 👍👌

Rabbits don’t like bolting in the wind

[@cumbriahunter]

I know pal but if I didn't go everytime there was wind I wouldn't get out . It was just unlucky it was that windy

[@MorganBrown]

Rabbit stew for months!

[@davidsimpson2685]

Love rabbiting but never used long net’s couldn’t really long net’s are not conducive with poaching .🤣😂

[@cumbriahunter]

🤣🤣there's nothing better than the security of some permission but back in the day permission wasn't much of a thing . Farmers used to be happy with killing a few rabbits, how times change eh haha . But yeah I used purse nets for 25 year and thought I'd never change but now I'm the same with long nets . They take a little bit longer to put out until you get used to them but the ground you can cover is better and they stop you missing double bolts . Definitely recommend 👌
