Well said, if only I didn't have to work very true so well put my idea of heaven. Though I skip the mushroom bit as life is going fairly well don't want to end it abruptly I so agree with you mate if you are not sure do not eat it. I started slowly may be one sort each year, But things like giant puff balls, Hedge hog mushrooms you can't go wrong, safer than field mushrooms, and horse mushrooms are great as long as they don't bruises yellow. Worth getting into I promise you, For years I bought books on mushrooms but never had the nerve to try. I'm an old bugger now but wish i'd

I always can't wait to start but it all fits quite well for me, at the end of the season I start fishing. Then about now I start foraging for fungi and mushrooms, this is a good one as you can look around your perms have a chat with the farmers show your face ask whats about etc. Then get home have a mix of mushroom and smoky bacon on toast an cup of tea talk about how many rabbits we think are there and what burrows their in, or if we should have a crack at pigeons on the stubble. Cheers Arry

That takes me back to when I was a kid, we used to snare them on an old tip on the runs that when from one bramble patch to another. Had a rat I'm my green compost bin for about a week put a baited trap in tried assorts, nothing. then baited it with one of them blue rat bait blocks, bag job done. Some thing in them they can't resist, smells like chocolate. Cheers Arry

Posted this photo before but this was my last JR. The wife won't let me have another as when she passed on it broke her heart but still working on it. Might have to take one home and say the farmer was going to drown it. Lol Would be nice to see some follow up as she gets on, atb Cheers Arry

She will save you hours when she starts marking and she will hold them quicker than you will get to them. Nice young team mate. atb Cheers Arry

Them are looking really good mate, nice coats. Cheers Arry

No mate you are right. Seems to be spreading more and more down hear. Got my fingers crossed that it won't get all my perms. Cheers Arry

Jiggy have a look at this mate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit_haemorrhagic_disease Cheers Arry

I know it can live in the ground for nine months, so if a rabbit tries to move back into that area with in that time it will get it and the nine months starts again. Theres some ground the other side of the river for me where I could watch rabbits with a pair of bins for my place now nothing. Went for a walk over there, dead no sign at all not a single bit of shit. Talked to a farmer from north Devon he told me they are coming back after three years. Cheers Arry

Can be transferred via shoes to , had a place and as you went down the driveway they were leaping in front of you , vhd hit that was that , rang them last season they said wasn't worth going , Yea I know its very contagious trouble is there is a green lane that goes right through the land and horses, cattle, mountain bikes and scrabbling bike all use it then go down other lanes. Im sure that what is spreading it about. We have other perms but this one has some good open ground burrows on it good for training young ferret and we have four new kits to train. Cheers Arry

Just went out over a couple of perms checking for rabbits and foraging for mushrooms. bumped into the farmer who said he had seen some dead ones at the bottom of one field, my heart sank a bit as this was good ground. Walked around a few small pockets but pretty dead really, then my mate put one up and it ran round in small circles and fell at our feet. Put it out of its misery with my thumb stick, didn't want to handle it as I'm sure its RHD. Shame as used have some good sport there. Cheers Arry

If was me mate I would consider two as they like company and it would just as easy to keep two as one. As for feed them raw thats probably the best (best frozen for a week or so to kill off any thing they might be carrying) but I use a combo of dry and raw myself. Nipping and biting is usually down to the lack of handling, the more handling the better. Hope this helps. Cheers Arry
-
Nice one. Good when you find you got extra ones rather than the other way round. Cheers Arry

September for me as well, open ground burrows and in the woods first and let the hedges die back ( seem to take ages last year ). Every year waiting for the new season I seem to be like a kid waiting for Christmas. Cheers Arry

Catch them up see what you get looks like a nice ferret there. Recon Aussie Whip got it right been dumped. Last year see some dead ones the road by a gate. Think somebody dumped them in the field then they walked back into the road looking for the owner and got flattened. Cheers Arry
