had a days ferreting with MR TEA POT (paul)on abit of permission of his ,things didnt sound to promising as this place had been hit hard with mixy in the summer and with the high winds this morning i thought we were going to have a hard day.so a not so bright but early start found us waiting for it to lighten up and by 7:15 we set of to ferret the first warren of the day.the first warren was in the middle of a hedge which was situated between an electric fence on both sides,the brambles and nettles were pretty thick in places which made netting up hard,me starting from the right of the warren

me and dad decided to have a walk out today with fly ,fern and the ferret,loaded with a few nets we were hoping to find a few burrows .After a little walk to a wood which is situated next to a big lake there were obvious signs of rabbits.we had a little walk through the woods but couldnt find any warrens so we moved onto the edge of the wood where dad spotted a few holes.with a closer inspection we could see there were about 15 holes.we netted up the more used holes and entered the ferret and within a few minutes our first rabbit hit our net.we ran the ferret through the other holes but no mo

back out ferreting this morning with the pups (fly and fern)but decided the older sister could come to tag along aswell,so she phoned in sick .she was a great help actually,setting and picking up nets in bushes and was putting the ferret down the holes and picking her up.the first few warrens were dead which was very disapointing as it tuck us a good hour to walk .we had a walk back and found another warren back at the quarry i ferreted on saturday ,this was a seven holer if i remember correctly ,i let her net up two of the easier holes and i set about clearing a few holes inside the brambles

me and world hunters decided to go ferreting today but we split up to ferret different warrens.my destination was a bank on the edge of a quarry which is littered with rabbit holes.the first warren was twenty holes or so but with only 9 nets i decided to net up all the holes to the right of me and i positioned bramble to the left to intersept any bolters.after about 10 mins of pulling myself back up the bank i finally laid the nets and within minutes a first rabbit hit one of my little blue nets.i hurried down to dispatch the rabbit but there wasnt much point as this rabbit was well pursed.af

heres another update of how the pups are doing as its been a few weeks since the last one .fly and fern are 36 weeks this coming tuesday and are just under 24"tts. They are still being fed on raw and are exercise daily every morning for a couple of hours , me and my dad are both really chuffed with how they are looking.they are jumping well ,but ferns the more confident jumper and fly just follows on behind.we are still 100% that they'll both retrieve (gundog scurry ; bring it on) yeah WATER!! ,this stuff does'nt faze them and im pretty sure fly would swim the width of the ocean aslong as ther
