My Mrs wants ferrets for valentines day.... wish she'd told me earlier this afternoon and I might have been able to get some brownie points! (see 'new neighbour' thread)

For the highly uneducated amongst us what on earth are 'purse nets' and what are they for? Chris

purse nets are used to catch the rabbits as they run from the holes :hurray:

That is one keen dog bruv..

 

[doug boardley]

..as the rabbits hit the net, the net closes round them, with little chance of escape. Swift chop on the back of the neck, and that's monday's tea sorted.
For the more squeemish of you, being brought up with six siblings in a rural setting, this was how we lived, rabbit during winter, fish through summer/autumn. Rabbit kidneys were always the favourite little gems that my ma used to hide in the deep crust.....:hurray:
