    I was using the ferrets to bolt the rabbits out of the holes.

    Got a couple this morning
    Cut a new track 100m into a steep corner by a waterfall and put a trap at the end - seems they like using tracks - poor bloody juvenile climbed right into the Sentinel - only one I have got across the shoulder - wouldn’t have been nice
    Interesting that traps near streams seem to be working best - do possums and rats need to hang round water sources when it is so dry

    Is there any difference in collecting juvenile fur over adult fur? Was going to start collecting it this weekend at a mates farm.

    The fur is all good stick it in a bag and your fur buyer won't know what it came off.

    Got one maggie this arvo at 100mtre with .22 rifle. No pics sorry they all look black and white.

    Took me old lab for a gallop after work and saw a black kitten moving across the paddocks at 100mtres also, after the first shot the dog was on the retrieve mode but the little sucker wasn't hit. Paws up in the labs face just in time to blow it away.

    Wanted a pic of the lab retreiving black cat but the boy had fed them when i went back home to get camera.

    Got a hedgehog on the way back too the cat.

    There was a guy very successfully using ferrets for rabbiting down south. Professional operation with nets etc. Seamed very efficient.

    Unsure. It could have been before the ferrets got the flick. IIRC the guy was on his last ferret.
    I think he went by "rabbiter" on FishnHunt forum.

    Shot two rabbits with my bow last night with small game heads. It didn't kill them though, just stunned enough for me to run up and do the two-step on their heads. Not really into that I think I need to adjust the 'pointy end'.....
