'A bit of this n that'

[Moll. 1,769]

Firstly i would just like to say to all the pompus, self righteous, stuck up their own arse moaners.

I do not give a rats arse, if in your opinions, protocol, procedure and perfection have not been adhered too.

I have had an absolutely FANTASTIC day out doing 'a bit of this an that' with friends, i am not forcing anyone else to do what i do or claiming i do it right.

So if anyone feels .....A waste of a bull cross, their sport is being shown in a bad light, illegal use of dogs, not proper ferreting dogs, heaven forbid more than one dog on a rabbit, or any of the other crap i hear......click the back button now and go and read something else.

 

 

It has been one of the best days, our first gradual start for the season. Out with my pal Woodga, his brother John and Ray.

A new place we have not been to before, Woodga had seen loads of rabbits sat out when passing and thought it would be a good place to ferret. Unfortunately he did not go and look up close. This place was literally covered in holes, i would say approx one every 5ft.

 

 

 

 

 

Meant we did not have enough nets or ferrets, but it was fun watching the bolter's being chased..

 

 

Woodga's "Oooo he just missed that" face

 

 

My two don't get to go ferreting very often, and are a bit like kids in a sweet shop for a while till they calm down. So a bit of restraint is required till they get some wind out of their sails and settle into it.

 

 

 

 

 

Not Blaze though, he is an old pro at this game!

 

 

Shovel restraint did not always work though.

 

 

They did calm down admirably later as you will see.

 

 

 

It sometimes worries me to know there are men like these in charge of powerfull guns

 

 

 

 

 

More bolter's..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This dog is worth more than any money could ever buy.....

Blaze.

 

 

 

The amount and variation of flowers at this little place was stunning.

 

Orchids.

 

 

 

Type of Mimulus??

 

 

Carpets of violas, of many different colours

 

 

 

 

 

Campanula?

 

 

Vetch?

 

 

 

 

And the variations in landscapes we worked in. Just stunning.

 

 

 

 

 

Snooping around old buildings. I love to imagine what it must have been like, and how hard it must have been in a one up one down in the middle of no-where.

 

 

 

 

Dry stone walling..

 

 

 

When both terriers marked under a bleedin huge quarry stone, Woodga just could not help himself.

Then at the end of the day we all met up again and i got to play with new toys, blasting rocks of fences

 

 

Just LOVED this gun

 

 

13 rabbits, not a big bag but that was not the object of the day... each and every one of them were worked for and appreciated.

 

 

Been up since 4.30am, driven for a couple hundred miles and out for nearly 13hrs, very tired but very happy, thank you very much gents for a SUPERB day out
