made my first stop net, its only 5 yards so not sure if its too small or not. i started it ages ago and left i lying for a good while, just put it on metal poles for the pictures so i have yet to rig it properly. made from spun poly and got plenty of kill to it

had that happen to me 3 times the last time i went ferreting, two out of the same hole right behind each other. and theres one boy's net setting that i have to keep fixing he never tucks the net in the hole which i find to be crucial, if theres a direction of travel with the hole i always tuck in the net. unless its a vertical bolt hole. anyway rant over

that really breaks my heart, the man's whole world has been ripped apart. dont think i could cope with it to be honest. i hope he pulls through it, when i here things like this,i cant believe i even complain about some things RIP to his loved ones

on a serious note, after the best man speech i done, i started school shortly after (im 27) and had to do presentations in front of the class a few times, same again shitting myself ect (ive been in the welding game 12 years so definitely not what im used to) after a while i became more confident, it helped a lot. use post cards for the speech, with bullet points or key words and talk around it. its a bit more relaxed, but it works a treat. this is what i done last month for the speech at my own wedding and it went very smooth (if i say so myself) you'll be grand.

nice one, thats my favourite part of the day, waiting in silence and anticipation before the almighty bolt. nothing gets the heart pumping like it and they always bolt from the hole you miss

Didnt get off to a great start today as i slept in (whoops) anyway, went to my usual spot and got setup with longnets and purse netting the outer holes, collared up the ferrets and in they went and the first two rabbits bolted to freedom (whoops again), we ferreted 2 burrows, had 3 digs with two at five foot. there was 5 escapees the whole day with only myself to blame. the rain came first then came the hail and finally the sleet and the sun came out when we were wrapping up highlight of the day was seeing the hob riding a bolting rabbit like a horse made me laugh, all in all had
