    most of the does are knotted down south which also means there rather stay to ground and dont like to bolt faceing the ferret or finding a nice stop end to sit it out unless dug to

    a great read as always ive got the opposite with my pup at the moment,thats what you get when you take out a young lurcher with a lakeland terrier pup a bit to hard mouthed but one good thing is the rabbit does not get away and i blame you for getting me in to grief with the miss when she comes in later as ive just skinned out 4 moles to stuff :tongue4: sitting in my front room

    just got back from doing a field warren ive had my eye on to do at night for a few weeks. so after laying some 35- 40 nets , down went the two big hobs i choose to use, standing there at night ferreting felt strange but it was so light with the snow you could see easy . the ferrets went to work and at a steady rate the rabbits were bolted. in a 45 minute period 10 rabbits were bolted missing one and i blame the snow freezing the net for that one . any one who hasnt done ferreting at night and got the right ground should have a crack as it was fcuking amazing. out tomorrow with steve and ro

    steve and myself was out with andy {pug} today on some new land andy has just got himself and also bill who andy works with some times came out for hes first ferreting trip . today was going to be long nets and the very first warren we done the rabbit flys out followed by bramble up its arse straight into the long net untangled the rabbit and the dog and one big hole in the long net to repair , still brambles only a pup and the heat of the moment proved to much for her . we carried on and done a couple more warrens and had some great sport from them, and the dog respecting the nets better .
