nevb Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Hi, just this minute walked in,its been raining most of the afternoon,still got 22 good rabbits .(10 this morning,12 this afternoon)I think time of the day makes more difference to bolts than outside weather. Cheers Nev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flash Posted February 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 went out anyway for an hour, only did one burry and bolted 4 rabbits, netted one, pics in picture section cheers flash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenlander Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 I dont think rain makes a lot of difference to the rabbits flash , but I personaly don't like ferreting in strong wind,as I find rabbits dont bolt so well , it would be interesting to know if others find the same thing. That was a good haul Nevb , and i'd be interested to hear more on your therory of time making a difference, I,ve never realy found any difference myself,but I always like to start early and finish well before it starts to get dark, All the best Mick.

Frank Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 I prefer to ferret in dry weather, but find, if it does rain, they bolt anyway. Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna Shoot a Wabbit Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Hi Gents. never had a problem ferreting in the rain, rabbits have bolted freely when they are home. Strong winds as previously mentioned have been a problem for me too!! Not sure why it makes a difference perhaps whistling,howling noise at mouth of holes?? anyway decided a long time ago that if you do not go out you've no chance of catching anything. hope this helps!
