Whimple Hunter Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 (edited) hia. The ground i gt round my way is mostly hedge buries and i usally put in 3-4 jills to push it up and then put a couple hobs in to just check for any missed rabbits.i find that you still bolt or catch a couple more rabbits using the hobs up behind. what do you do? i usally work my jills without collars and then put the hob/s in with a colar. obviously i want clean boltsbut i would rather have to dig than leave rabit/s behind! What combinations do you use and for a day out how many ferrets do you take ??/ Edited January 2, 2009 by Whimple Hunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 I only work jills and use a collared hob to shift them if they lay up and a dig is inevitable. Occasionally experienced jills will leave the earth with some fur in their claws, which shows that they have a rabbit that won't move and I leave it there for another day. I would rather move on to another earth, than invite a dig for one reluctant rabbit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
