how to flush rabbits out of warrens

[roscogruen]

i've read smoke doesn't work. ferrets do work but can't have one w/ me. acetylene from carbide could start a fire.

i've thought of something irritating might work but can't find anything to annoy the rabbits. ideas?

i'm thinking moth balls would work too slowly. the party fogger doesn't seem to come in spray cans. i doubt Mace or pepper spray would reach down a tunnel far enough to flush.

bendable sticks that i poke around inside the burrow seem to work the best but it isn't that effective. they "lock down" pretty hard where i'm at this year.

THX!

feel free to PM me if it is a secret.

Are you trying to flush them there and then so you can shoot/catch them or just evict them?

Pine cones soaked in old fashioned creosote rolled down the holes makes them lie out for day or two.

Smoke grenades work for immediate results!

Would you come out in this weather ?

Does that `method` work then ????

 

[Bushwhacker]

I don't quite get what aim you expect to achieve, neither have you introduced yourself.

Only on very stout walls lol

I take it this is purely for vermin control then? I find the skill of the hunt increases the satisfaction when you know you have worked for your meat. It also enables you to improve your hunting skills, nothing on your plate makes you try harder next time.

I found that a Brit army smoke grenade worked quite well a few years ago.

Sit on the hole and eat sprouts?

Rather strange post for your first first on the forum.

All the best

I find Michael McIntyre pretty irritating - have you tried that?

I think the SAS Survival handbook recommends bramble canes (the long ones that have "bolted") as the thorns snag the rabbits. Cruel though unless you're desperate for food.

I seem to remember a Des O'Connor LP worked great for Russ Abbott with fish! Lol

Why would you want to get Russ Abbott and a fish out of a rabbit warren?
